This week, we are joined by Asal Heydari, Global Head of Business Acceptance and Conflicts Management at Clyde & Co. Asal has been in law firm risk and compliance since the industry began and has a fantastic perspective on how the space works.

She talked about how to assess urgency when fee earners bring their clients and matters to be cleared, and the benefits of not giving exact timeframes. The benefits of upskilling team members to perform total clearances, and whether AML and conflicts teams should be split, or combined.
