Upcoming webinar: Best practice workflows in AML: A webinar for UK law firms

Wednesday 31 July, 12pm UK

Approximately £10 billion of illegal money is estimated to be laundered each year in the UK. And with most law firms exposed in so many ways to the risks of money laundering, the potential for a firm getting caught up in financial crime is easy, maybe easier than ever. It can happen at any point in the legal process – in the course of managing a client’s money or organising funds to create a client’s company or while helping a client buy property.

What’s worse, the repercussions for violating anti-money laundering (AML) regulations are steep, from large fines to civil or criminal charges to reputational damage. That’s all likely to get steeper with Labour planning on further crackdowns on dirty money.

A robust AML framework is the key. Join us in this free, one-hour webinar where we provide critical information on AML legislation, the many ways in which law firms can get caught up in money laundering and the implications if a firm doesn’t have effective AML workflows in place. Significantly, we will guide firms in how to implement best practice AML workflows to manage their money laundering risks so they can develop an effective AML programme and mitigate their risks of being exposed to financial crime. 

This webinar will feature:

  • A basic understanding of the AML regulations in the UK
  • Ways to assess your firm’s risks for money laundering
  • Relevant money laundering case studies – and what you can learn from these stories
  • How to implement AML best practice workflows
  • How to develop an AML programme that works

Upcoming webinar: AI regulation in the UK, EU and the rest of the world

Upcoming webinar: AI regulation in the UK, EU and the rest of the world

Wednesday 24 July 12pm UK

The pace of AI regulation is heating up. From the monumental AI Act passed by the EU, countries and states around the world adopting copycat laws, to commitments by the new UK government to better regulate artificial intelligence. Regulators and legislators are racing to ensure they are not left behind by the AI revolution, and can levy ever larger fines on companies who get things wrong.

As companies and industries race to ensure they are AI-ready, the cost of a compliance failure is ticking up. With potential fines that could dwarf GDPR, getting it wrong when rolling out AI technology could be devastating.

In this free 1 hour webinar, VinciWorks compliance experts will discuss critical upcoming AI regulations in the UK. From fines on compliance failure to possible new protections for workers, the UK has fallen behind on AI regulation recently but looks set to catch up quickly. We’ll also consider the implementation of the EU’s AI Act – the blockbuster regulation which has set a new global standard. And we’ll consider new regulations across the world from key US states like California and AI laws in Brazil. China and the Middle East.

Key points this webinar will cover:

  • What the UK plans for AI regulation
  • How would the UK enhance protections against AI discrimination
  • What does the EU’s AI Act work?
  • What are the sanctions on businesses under the EU AI Act?
  • What businesses need to know when investing in AI
  • Other AI laws and regulations around the world

On-demand webinar: GDPR – six years on

On-demand webinar: GDPR – six years on

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has now been in force for six years. During that time, fines have totalled billions of euros, with over €1 billion in fines coming in the past 12 months. The most recent fines show that both large and small businesses are subject to regulators’ scrutiny.

With fines and enforcement actions, developments in GDPR case law and new challenges of AI, data protection remains one of the most complex areas of compliance. Despite best efforts, many organisations are still falling short when it comes to getting GDPR right.

In this webinar, we examined GDPR’s widespread impact not just in Europe but around the world. As places like Brazil, California, and even China race to enact GDPR-like protections, what does the future hold for data privacy?

The webinar covered:

  • Recent GDPR fines and case studies
  • International developments and new GDPR-style laws around the world
  • Focus areas for EU data protection authorities
  • Where the UK and US stand with data protection and GDPR
  • Artificial intelligence and data protection laws
  • Best practice guidance to solidify your GDPR compliance
