ACAMS-qualified Australian legal practitioner with extensive AML/CTF experience dating back to 2008. I provide comprehensive, high-level compliance solutions. Experienced in designing and implementing robust AML/CTF programs tailored to diverse regulatory landscapes, having successfully advised entities across APAC, EMEA, North America, Bermuda, BVI, and Cayman Islands. Conduct independent AML/CTF evaluations aligned with AML/CTF legislation and rules.

My background includes serving as a Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) for international financial institutions and an AUSTRAC-registered Compliance Officer for local reporting entities. I regularly advise remittance service providers, gambling licensees, financial institutions, and law firms with a particular focus on navigating tranche 2 obligations.

Key Institutional Advantages:

Legal Professional Privilege: Engaging a qualified legal practitioner could ensure that sensitive compliance reviews and advice attract the added protection of legal professional privilege where applicable—a critical safeguard.

Proven Global Frameworks: Extensive cross-border experience ensures programs withstand multi-jurisdictional scrutiny.

Practical Operational Insights: Direct experience acting as an MLRO and AUSTRAC compliance officer guarantees actionable, real-world advisory. True institutional independence permits advising and reviewing professional intermediary clients' AML/CTF needs without associated commercial risks.

I partner with organisations to deliver bespoke program design, independent reviews, and ongoing regulatory counsel, ensuring enduring compliance and robust risk mitigation.
