Navigating Australia’s Tranche 2 Reforms: What Lawyers Need to Know Now
Australia’s long-anticipated AML/CTF Tranche 2 reforms are set to bring legal practitioners squarely within the regulatory framework for the first time. This practical, lawyer-focused session cuts through the policy noise and explains what the new regime actually means for day-to-day legal work — from onboarding clients and handling funds to managing red flags in transactions and advice. Designed for principals and employed lawyers alike, the program translates Tranche 2 obligations into real-world workflows, highlights common risk scenarios in legal practice, and clarifies personal and professional liability exposure. Attendees will leave with concrete steps to prepare their practice, protect their clients, and reduce regulatory and disciplinary risk.
