SPG 28th Annual Conference 2026
Date: 8th – 10th May 2026
Venue: Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club
In 2026 small law firms that view compliance as a strategic investment—rather than a regulatory burden—will thrive. A proactive approach ensures compliance is not only achievable but advantageous.
What are the biggest compliance risks for small law firms in 2026?
Key risks include AML failures, inadequate risk assessments, and poor data management
Setting your compliance priorities for 2026With limited time and resources, SP’s and small firms must focus on the highest-impact compliance areas:
- Anti-money-laundering (AML) – Maintain an updated firm-wide risk assessment and clear documentation of source-of-funds checks.
- Client confidentiality and data protection – Review data handling and cyber policies, aligning with UK GDPR standards.
- Training and competence – Regularly refresh staff knowledge of SRA Codes and emerging risks.
- Financial and sanctions compliance – Verify client and transaction details using reliable tools and stay current on sanctions updates.
We have a great line up of speakers to cover these topics so that you walk away from the conference with the tools and knowledge to confidently embed compliance tasks into your daily workflow.
