2025 Company & Economic Crime Legislation Update 

This course will go live by the end of February 2025

Course Description: This will bring you the most up to date company law developments which are in force and those that come into force during 2025 and beyond, including those under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (‘ECCTA`).

The ECCTA in particular aims to strengthen systems for collecting, accessing and displaying information about UK companies and limited liability partnerships and about the ownership of UK real estate by overseas entities.

In addition, business organisations may incur criminal liabilities if they fail to take measures to prevent fraud by their employees or agents and it will be made easier to prosecute companies for criminal wrongdoing.
