23 February 2006
Welcome to the first edition of Clayton Utz Banking & Financial Services Insights for 2006.
We've been waiting for the new anti-money laundering laws for a long time - now that a draft has been released for public comment, what will it mean for our everyday business? We'll carefully examine the draft bill in this edition.
We'll also look at some of the more common conflicts in a financial services conglomerate (and how to deal with them) and what can happen if you don't give a debtor written notice of an assignment of debt.
Finally we'll meet Geoff Geha, who has just become a partner in our team, and our new special counsel David Lester.
