Description

Just when you feel that everything is under control and you’ve dealt with one legal or compliance challenge, another emerges. This session will discuss the key legal and compliance issues that law firms are currently grappling with, and strategies to help managing partners, in-house legal teams, executive and professional practice partners, and other business staff to manage them. It will focus on the key current issues at the time of the IBA Annual Conference, including financial crime and anti-money laundering (AML) risks with technology; dealing with blockchain/digital currency and associated risks; managing cross-border data privacy compliance; the current sources of malpractice claims; parallel regulatory investigations and prosecutions. There will be at least one useful takeaway.
