E57: How can compliance keep the legal world ethical?

Law firms are responsible for some of the largest transactions globally – from M&As, to real estate deals, to setting up new companies.

But no money movement is without risk and legal firms come close to some of the most high-risk sectors in the world!

In this week's episode – our host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Bruno Edenogie, Head of EU Compliance & Data Protection Officer at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe.

They discuss how does AML and compliance keeps the sector on the straight and narrow, the biggest challenges when it comes to money laundering, politically exposed persons, and sanctioned individuals, and why it's so important to get this right.

Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Engineers: Nicholas Thon Jørgensen and George Stzuka
