Fighting Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Across the Globe – US and EU Reform Legal Frameworks Webinar presented with the European-American Chamber of Commerce

The United States Congress kicked off the new year by enacting the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020, and the European Commission will release a new legislative proposal to strengthen its Anti-Money Laundering legal framework in the next months. Please join the European-American Chamber of Commerce and Orrick for a discussion on both reforms and how they will significantly change the shape of AML/CFT on both sides of the Atlantic.
