Course description
The burdens on law firms of all kinds keep increasing as we all try to come to terms with the wars in Europe and the Middle East and the increasing attacks on our household finances. Not least of them is the plethora of checks we need to make on our clients before we can open our gates and let them in to our inner sanctum. That said, the electronic search tools that are available are getting better and better and may offer some hope for simplifying our tasks.
This virtual classroom seminar will explore the rules and regulations with which we have to comply and will discuss the tools available.
Key topic covered will include the key requirements of the ML Regulations 2017, as amended; new guidance on Client and Matter risk assessments; availability and use of electronic searches; high-risk jurisdictions; and more.
