Anti Money Laundering (AML) regulations will come into effect and be applicable to all Australian law firms from July 2026, significantly changing the way many firms operate, in particular, during client on-boarding processes.
To ensure your firm is across these changes, ALPMA is delivering a dedicated stream of AML content at the 2025 ALPMA Summit + ALTACON, on 4 September at the International Convention Centre, Sydney.
Navigating the New AML/CTF Maze: Governance, Compliance and Technology for Law Firms
Presented by: Adam Simms, Director, Acclivity
Australia's AML/CTF regime is on the cusp of a seismic shift, with law firms set to fall squarely within its regulatory reach. This session unpacks what’s coming and what it means.
We’ll explore the emerging obligations, the operational and ethical dilemmas they raise, and how firms can respond with integrity and foresight. From governance frameworks and risk assessments to client onboarding, suspicious matter reporting, and the spectre of tipping off, the maze is complex but navigable. We’ll also examine how legal practices can embrace technology without compromising privilege, and how compliance can be embedded without paralysing the business of law. Whether you're in leadership, risk, or practice management, this session offers practical guidance to prepare your firm now and position it as a credible, compliant, and trustworthy advisor in a new regulatory era.
Ignorance will not be a defence; preparation is your best protection.
