Legal Eye annual conference: preparing for a visit from the regulator – what to expect

Hyatt Regency Birmingham |Thursday 9 June 2022 | 9.30 -13.00

Legal Eye’s annual conference is back and people are registering for this completely free event fast!

Held at the impressive Hyatt Regency hotel in central Birmingham (just opposite the ICC), the Legal Eye team are excited to bring their event to as many people as possible, having increased capacity for the event.

Joined by sponsors, Pexa, Armalytix, Today’s Conveyancer, The Cashroom and Today’s Media, the half day event leads with the theme of “Preparing for a visit from the regulator: what to expect”.

This is especially timely given the Risk Outlook for 2021/22 which highlighted the “new normal” and the need to ensure an increase in its proactive monitoring and regulating of anti-money laundering (AML) arrangements within the profession. Couple this with the SRA’s Business Plan for the same, firms can expect an uptick in the regulator’s visits. The Legal Eye conference this year provides an engaging and jam-packed programme line up:

Conference programme

Suitable for both SRA and CLC-regulated firms, this half-day conference will run from 9.30 (for a 10am start) and conclude by 12.45/1pm with a networking lunch available afterwards.

The theme of the 2022 conference is “Preparing your firm for a visit from the regulator”. Suitable for both SRA and CLC-regulated firms this half-day conference will run from 9.30 (for a 10am start) and conclude by 12.45/1pm with a networking lunch available afterwards and a mid-morning break during which you can mingle with delegates.
