Compliance with money laundering obligations is one of the greatest challenges for solicitors in the UK today. The Law Society is committed to assisting solicitors to meet those obligations and provide a robust defence against money launderers attempting to abuse our professional services.
With the 4th EU Money Laundering Directive set for publication over the coming winter, the Law Society will be hosting a financial crime symposium on 22 March 2013. The symposium will help you understand the practical implications of the proposed changes and will look at the current financial crime risks to the UK regulated sector.
