On Wednesday, 19 March 2025, we hosted the first Bennett Briefing of the year – an invitation-only event featuring internationally renowned financial crime expert Nathan Lynch in conversation with Thaw Thaw Htin, Principal at Bennett.
Held at our offices in Westralia Square, this fireside chat provided attendees with valuable insights into the evolving landscape of financial crime, anti-money laundering reforms, directors’ liability, scams and cybercrime threats.
Nathan Lynch, an investigative journalist and author with extensive experience in uncovering the hidden world of dark money, shared his analysis on how illicit funds flow through the global financial system and the growing risks businesses face. Drawing from his extensive research, including his acclaimed book, The Lucky Laundry, Nathan discussed real-world cases of money laundering, regulatory enforcement and the need for stronger compliance frameworks.
Leading the discussion, Thaw Thaw Htin provided legal perspectives on directors’ responsibilities, the latest regulatory changes and how businesses can safeguard themselves against financial crime risks. With her background in regulatory enforcement at ASIC and extensive experience advising businesses on financial services laws, Thaw Thaw offered practical guidance on navigating the complex regulatory environment.
