Norman Denton – Legal Eye
Norman is the Senior Compliance and Regulatory Specialist at Legal Eye. Facing up to the Compliance Challenges of 2020. The end of a decade doesn’t mark any let up in the pace of Regulatory change. The year ended with the SRA operating on two Codes of Conduct, less prescriptive in helping you manage a law firm, whilst seeking a certificate that you have appropriate Anti-Money Laundering procedures in place, just as 5MLD landed. Regulated by the CLC? Its little different and your year starts with a Consultation on the future of conveyancing. Norman supports firms on behalf of Legal Eye with their compliance challenges. From his first hand experiences, we will discuss some of the current compliance challenges for firms. This will include the current focus on Money Laundering which some firms still struggle with, even before 5 MLD was enacted. The discussion will include some practical examples and the implications for firms and individuals with a tougher focus from Regulators.
