On October 22, 2014, at the International Bar Association (IBA) Conference in Tokyo, the American Bar Association (ABA), IBA, and Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) released “A Lawyer’s Guide to Detecting and Preventing Money Laundering.” The free guide provides attorneys with practical tips to help them avoid inadvertently participating in money laundering activities and comply with their legal obligations to fight money laundering.
Venable partner Kevin Shepherd, chair of the ABA Task Force on Gatekeeper Regulation and the Profession, led the ABA working group which helped develop the guide in conjunction with working groups established by the IBA and CCBE.
