Inside Risk and Compliance

Amasis Saba is our guest this week, Head of Business Acceptance at Simmons & Simmons. Amasis shared a wealth of information and advice and this episode is an invaluable listen for anyone wanting to build a meaningful career in this field.

We discussed dealing with fee earners as your customers, progressing to Head of level without being a qualified solicitor and the importance of deeply understanding the law to build influence and expertise. As a former chair of the Law Society's Money Laundering Task Force, Amasis also talked about what the task force does and how it shapes the AML landscape in legal practice. Amasis also shared insights on how to get involved and upskill yourself in this space.
