Live, tailored compliance training that changes what people do
Summary
The article promotes live, tailored compliance training for law firms, arguing that generic training often fails to change behaviour or address firm-specific risks. It highlights sessions built around a firm’s practice areas and compliance needs, with emphasis on AML, source of funds/wealth, Codes of Conduct and complaints handling under SRA and CLC requirements.
