It has been difficult to escape the recent flurry of publicity in the legal press surrounding the new Money Laundering Regulations 2007. The new regime, which is due to take effect in December, will impact on every law firm member of staff.
What these regulations have also highlighted is the growth in online training; in this case as a means of gearing up staff for their onerous new responsibilities. One large group of leading law firms is collaborating to produce online learning materials for their people; their aim, presumably, is to ensure that the training can be delivered as quickly and as cost-effectively as possible. For firms with smaller budgets, there are plenty of other online materials available to get staff up to speed on the new regulations.
