Digital Assets & AML - An Advanced Guide to Legal & Regulatory Compliance for Lawyers

Introduction

Digital assets present both a challenge and an opportunity to innovate for lawyers.

This new virtual classroom seminar will explore how cryptocurrency, digital assets, and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) are developing and the compliance risks and opportunities that result.

Expert speaker Peter Wright will examine how these systems are being used with real-world examples from across the world of banking and financial services as well as looking at their application within the legal profession and some of the innovations within the law tech field.

Consideration will be given to some of the risks highlighted by regulators including the SRA and how innovation taking place in other jurisdictions and sectors may impact the UK in the near term.

This session is aimed at private practice and in-house lawyers and those monitoring compliance from a finance perspective. A basic knowledge of cryptocurrency, blockchain and their general use is assumed.
