1. AML Survey

 
CLT has joined forces with the TM Group, which comprises TM Property Service and Search Choice, to conduct research with legal and conveyancing professionals on the subject of Anti-Money Laundering.

The aim of this research is to understand current experiences, and to capture views and opinions regarding the regulations and their implications. The results of this research will be launched at the National Conveyancing Congress on the 25th September 2008.
