Description

On January 1, amendments to the Law Society's client identification and verification, cash transaction, and trust accounting requirements for lawyers and paralegals come into effect. These changes enhance existing requirements aimed at combatting money laundering and terrorist financing, while preserving solicitor-client privilege and the independence of the legal professions. Our presenters guide you through the amendments to the Law Society's by-laws, give you tips to smoothly integrate the changes into your practice, assist you with identifying red flags and managing risk, direct you to available supports and resources, and answer frequently asked questions. Do not miss this informative program.
