AML Autumn Update 2025

So much has happened in recent months to subtly reshape the ML compliance environment.

A new LSAG Guidance Note published in April 2025, a fresh list of high-risk countries released in June 2025, the renewed AML Data Collection exercise in September 2025, and forthcoming Amendment Regulations due in Spring 2026 all add up to yet another round of modifications to an already overburdened system.

During this webinar, Trevor Hellawell will guide you through what these developments mean in practice. He will explain the SRA’s heightened expectations on firms – including the need for a full practice-wide risk assessment, thorough CDD and KYC with verification, client and matter risk assessments, and clear rationales for every assessment made. Trevor will also explore the importance of developing an overarching understanding of your clients’ background and finances.

Finally, Trevor will cover the evolving sanctions regime and discuss its impact on legal practices.
