Show Notes

Lawyers have received a range of information about the expanded regime under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) from different sources.  It can be difficult to know when an engagement for a family law matter 'tips over' into being a designated service.

In today's episode, FLPA Immediate Past President Shannon Daykin is joined by Jess Smith, Director at Grant Thornton.  Jess has over 15 years' experience providing advice and guidance on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing.  Most recently, Jess has guided practitioners as they prepare for Australia's expanded AML/CTF regime, and worked with AUSTRAC to support the development of the AML/CTF Starter Kits for Lawyers.

Join us as Jess explains the legislation, what activities undertaken by family lawyers for clients may or may not be deemed a designated service under the legislation, and more.  This is a must listen for all family lawyers.
