AML Reforms Are Here – Is Your Legal Firm Ready?

The new Anti-Money Laundering (AML) reforms for Australian legal firms, set to be effective in 2026, are part of a broader effort to modernise and expand Australia’s AML/Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) regime.
Compliance can seem complex and overwhelming, but without a clear strategy, your firm risks falling behind. Every day without a clear AML strategy is a missed opportunity for compliance, efficiency, and maintaining a competitive edge.
