Legal Eye Risk & Compliance Conference

Managing AML in 2023 – what does the strengthening regime mean for your firm?

The Edwardian, Manchester | Thursday 18^th May 2023 | 10.00 – 16.00 | BOOK TICKETS

Legal Eye’s annual conference is back, and tickets are selling fast!

Following an oversubscribed event last year in Birmingham, the Legal Eye team are thrilled to be bringing their much-anticipated conference to the North West.

Held at the impressive Edwardian Hotel in central Manchester, the Conference is looking to be even bigger and better than previous years, especially with the support of headline sponsors X-Press Legal Services, gold sponsors Armalytix, Groundsure, InfoTrack and Move Reports along with lunch sponsor First AML and networking drinks sponsored by The Cashroom.

Bringing together a jam-packed agenda, the full day event will lead with the “Managing AML in 2023” theme.

This is especially timely given this year’s Risk Outlook from the SRA which highlighted the ‘new normal’ and the need to ensure an increase in its proactive monitoring and regulating of anti-money laundering arrangements within the profession. Couple this with the SRA’s Business Plan for the same, firms can expect an uptick in the regulator’s visits.

So, what can we expect in 2023? After more than two years of hybrid working and a material change in how people access legal services, how does the industry make sure that it can keep up with client demands and still meet regulatory obligations? How do law firms mitigate the new emerging risks? How do firms continue to grow and meet client expectations?

Conference programme

Running from 10 am until 4 pm, the day will feature both panel and round table sessions. Covering the pertinent issues we all face, from AML updates and how to deal with complaints effectively, through to the challenges the conveyancing sector is facing in respect of climate change – just how far are conveyancers expected to go to ensure they meet their obligations?

Suitable for both SRA and CLC-regulated firms, this day conference is a must attend, come and join us from 9.30am (for the 10am start) and enjoy and informative and engaging day that will conclude by 4pm followed by networking drinks sponsored by The Cashroom.
