SUMMARY:Between duty and scrutiny: navigating the evolving role of lawyer
 s and the responsibility of bars and regulators
DESCRIPTION:Lawyers today stand at a critical intersection of ethical res
 ponsibility\, public obligation\, and civic perception. While profession
 al codes of conduct define a lawyer’s duty to their client\, increasingl
 y complex public law obligations—such as anti-money laundering laws and 
 tax compliance regimes—demand transparency\, accountability\, and someti
 mes even disclosure that may seem at odds with client confidentiality. M
 eanwhile\, public discourse can paint lawyers as enablers of systemic is
 sues\, creating further tension between the profession and the society i
 t serves.\n\nThis panel brings together leaders from bar associations\, 
 the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and academics from around the wor
 ld to explore how the legal profession can maintain integrity and indepe
 ndence while addressing growing external demands and societal scepticism
 . How can bars uphold core legal principles while responding to the mand
 ates of bodies like the FATF\, UN\, and OECD? Should ethical training be
  continuous and mandatory throughout a lawyer’s career? And what can bar
 s do to engage more effectively in civic education\, correct misconcepti
 ons\, and build constructive dialogues with regulators and the public?\n
 \nJoin us for a solutions-focused discussion on the evolving role of the
  lawyer—and the role bar associations must play in safeguarding the rule
  of law\, fostering trust\, and preparing the profession for the challen
 ges ahead.\n\n
