  • We're now half way through our first run of our free Webinar series, introducing the basics of AML. We've had great feedback so far, especially about Amy's practical advice. Here is an article she's written about how law firms are targeted by criminals for money laundering - which is part of what she covers in the first session of the series. p.s. We'll be releasing dates soon for the next run of the programme, so stay tuned!

  • This will be a really practical session for those of you thinking of hiring staff to assist with AML Compliance.

    Making the right hires for your AML team is going to be critical for you to be ready for the "go live" date for Tranche 2 entities. Most of the existing talent in AML have financial services experience, which is relevant, but there are some particular features of AML in Law firms which they won't have come across. I'm running a webinar with Momenta Group and my new pals Greg Collyer and Simon Rippon about hiring AML people for Law Firms on 31st March. I'm looking at the new roles you will have, the ideal candidates for each role, and how you prepare those who've worked in banks for the realities of working in a law firm. What questions do you want me to cover? https://lnkd.in/e42vXmcB

  • Thinking of using a toolkit or a template for your AML program? Here’s a cautionary tale about doing-it-yourself from our Amy Bell

    💜My roots were purple! (I promise this post is about AML!). On Wednesday I had a hair disaster! First thing to say is my white hair is not actually natural, I have my lovely hairdresser Barry sort it out for me, and it’s not cheap, I’ll tell ya. But I’m in Sydney and Barry isn’t, so I thought “I’ll go and grab a toner and do it myself” So I did, a grey tone semi permanent dye, which when I put it on was bright purple. In fairness I knew it would be. I read the instructions, twice! It was for grey and lightened hair, both of which I wanted to tone. Now heres the thing, I’m growing out all the bleached hair and trying to get to my natural grey, so I have a fair chunk of this grey hair. I put the dye on, set a timer for 20 of the maximum 30 minutes and washed it off. The results were toned down yellow hair ✅ But also absolutely glowing purple roots! A completely different result! 💜💜💜💜😱 And on Thursday morning I had a meeting to go to with people who’ve not met me before where I was keen to make a good impression! I washed my hair twice straight after and another 2 times yesterday morning, but still as I stepped out into the daylight it looked like my white hair was under a UV bulb! Now, nobody I met yesterday or today has mentioned this hair catastrophy for which I’m very grateful, but what they do know about me is I’m no hair colour expert! It’s the same with buying a template or toolkit for your AML program. Even if you get instructions to use them, it doesn’t mean you won’t end up making a dogs dinner of it! Don’t end up looking daft, get some help with your AML! (Two more washes and indoor lighting is making it look much better than it was!) #stopthecrooks #AMLSorted

  • Really interesting report from Actionstep about Midsize Law Firm Priorities. You can get a copy here - https://lnkd.in/eVBbSnnp

    Only 13% of law firm staff are thinking of leaving their firm within the next 12 months in Australia! That’s good innit? I attended a breakfast event hosted by Macquarie Group and Actionstep about Australian Midsize Law Firm Priorities for 2025. The report is packed with fascinating stats about what leaders and staff within law firms think! One key take away, people are feeling workload pressure so smarter use of tech is needed (and being requested by staff) Thanks to Richard Jones, Rose Fitzmaurice and Courtney Worrall for including me. Excellent presentation Zahn Nel! Rose - where can people get a copy of the report? (great choice of colour 😉)

  • Useful AML stuff - Part 1 The Dark Money Files podcast is brilliant! Ray Blake and Graham Barrow bring to life AML with their decades of experience! Their early episodes cover tricky concepts and make them easy to understand. The content is littered with great examples and warning signs. It’s essential listening if you’re new on your AML journey. https://lnkd.in/dUvq79b
