Those involved in business formations may unknowingly be violating professional conduct rules. As compliance requirements evolve to protect against money laundering, terrorism, and tax evasion, it has become harder for attorneys to keep up. But those who fail to comply can face serious fines and may even lose their license altogether.
Join this on-demand webinar to safeguard against ethical violations. Attendees will have a better understanding of compliance requirements, new and emerging legislation, and best practices for new client due diligence.
Learn about:
- The intersection of business formation and money laundering/terrorism/tax evasion
- How attorney-client privilege is impacted by current and emerging legislation
- Penalties for doing business with certain risk groups
- The ABA's Gatekeeper initiative that offers risk-based guidance

Garth Jacobson, Esq. – CT Government Relations and Regional Attorney
Garth B. Jacobson serves as a Senior Government Relations Attorney for CT Corporation. Prior to this position, he worked at Preston Gates and Ellis LLP. Previously, he held the position of Chief Legal Counsel to the Montana Secretary of State where he successfully litigated election law cases before the state trial and appellant courts and federal courts. During that tenure, he served on the state bar committees that drafted business entity legislation including profit and nonprofit corporate acts, revisions to the partnership laws and the limited liability company act. Additionally, he developed and administered alternative dispute resolution of business name infringements. He served on the Montana Ethics Advisory Commission. He also served on the Board of Trustees of the State Bar of Montana and was also the president of the First Judicial District Bar Association.
In this deck I present my point of view on how to approach the inevitability of regulation, and how to build a risk and compliance program the smart way. PART 1 provides a historical overview of AML regulation and explains why and how value transfer systems are regulated. PART 2 deals with the main risk areas facing non-bank financial institutions, how to identify the risks and how to prepare and present a risk assessment to regulators and bankers. PART 3 is about designing a program the smart way, i.e., with an engineering mindset. It also provides an introduction to suspicious activity detection via transaction monitoring and behavioral data analysis. PART 4 includes a few words of unsolicited advice (contrarian, of course) that I've followed myself to build several companies, obtain and maintain hundreds of bank accounts and pass dozens of examinations in multiple countries over the past 13 years. BOTTOM LINE: Regulation is inevitable and here to stay. Focusing on the spirit of the law (policy goals) is (should be) more important than focusing on the letter. Unfortunately, regulators and companies alike today focus on the formal aspects and the letter of the law. The result? A witch hunt for needles in the haystack after which only lawyers win. In the 21st century, compliance and risk should be done by engineers on both the business and government side.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
