Seminar: New Requirements for Conducting Legal Practice
New Requirements for Conducting Legal Practice in Australia
From 31 March 2026 most lawyers in Australia will be required to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Commonwealth).
Among other things, this legislation targets businesses which provide services that may enable money from the proceeds of crime or tax evasion to be laundered into and concealed within the legitimate economy. Those businesses must enrol with the regulator AUSTRAC, conduct a risk assessment of their business, establish policies to manage the risks, and report certain things to AUSTRAC.
Presented by:
Tony Coburn, Senior Advisor, Regulatory at Minter Ellison; and
Adam Simms, Director, Acclivity (a risk consulting firm specialising in Anti-Money Laundering matters).
Dinner Seminar followed by AGM
