A DOOGUE + GEORGE WEBINAR SERIES

AML FOR LAWYERS. AN OVERVIEW OF THE LAW

Anti-Money Laundering and the Proceeds of Crime Act

Many lawyers have questions about AML (anti-money Laundering) and the various regimes in Australia. We thought it was important for lawyers to understand how the Proceeds of Crime legislation works both at a State and a Federal Level.

As a firm, Doogue + George have been, and are, involved in many of the largest cases involving the intersection of these laws and Criminal Law. It is an area with complicated legislation and time frames that often end with automatic forfeiture with no recourse for clients. Our aim is to give you a good understanding of the basics of this area.
