Gemma Turnbull

Head of AML
Law Society of Scotland

Having spent the last 10+ years in roles dedicated to economic crime prevention in both the legal sector and financial services industry, it is fair to say that I am passionate about anti-money laundering!

From the early years of my career opening business bank accounts face to face in branch and having to conduct customer due diligence in real time, right through to managing global AML teams, I understand the protection which is offered by robust regulatory compliance but also the challenges that it can present on a day-to-day level.

My role as Head of AML at the Society is not limited to the Supervision of AML Compliance. In view of the developing and emerging risk faced by firms, it is critical that Support plays a key part in what I do.
