Description

The AML Clinic Podcast is hosted by Michelle Clement, a former SRA AML Regulatory Manager who has audited hundreds of law firms and authored key SRA guidance now used across the profession.


This podcast delivers practical, actionable insight on anti-money laundering (AML), financial crime risk, and regulatory oversight. Each episode offers real-world examples, straight-talking analysis, and lessons from the blind spots regulators focus on, helping law firms and compliance teams understand not just the rules, but how regulators actually assess risk.


Designed for MLROs, COLPs, COFAs, compliance professionals, fee earners, and partners, the AML Clinic Podcast equips you to build defensible AML frameworks, make informed decisions, and stay ahead of enforcement trends. Whether you’re looking to improve firm-wide risk assessments, enhance client and matter-level diligence, or navigate SRA and FCA supervision, this podcast gives you the knowledge to act confidently and proactively.
