Risk update 

Dr. Fabian Horton will provide participants with an update on the issues and recurring themes observed by LPLC in the claims against practitioners. His presentation will identify some of the root causes behind these claims and identify some practical tips and strategies you can implement into your day-to-day work to reduce your exposure to claims. You will also have the opportunity to share some of your own thoughts on what works well and what doesn’t in regional practice.

Navigating Anti-money laundering/Counter-terrorism and new Privacy Act laws 

This section will address the proposed anti-money laundering/counter-terrorism (AML/CT) regulations and changes to the Privacy Act.

 In this seminar, we will provide an overview of:

          - Proposed AML/CT regime application to lawyers
          - AML/CT compliance obligations for your firm
          - Implications of proposed changes to Privacy Act laws for your firm
