Jonathan is a leading barrister and compliance expert specialising in financial crime and ESG compliance. With two decades of experience advising global businesses and holding senior roles at GlaxoSmithKline and Tesco, he brings practical, technology-driven solutions to complex compliance challenges.
Modern slavery affects 27.6 million people globally, with forced labour generating $150 billion in criminal profits annually. Understanding and preventing these practices is both a moral imperative and critical business risk management, especially given recent legal developments that have fundamentally changed how companies face potential money laundering liability.

Anyone responsible for supplier relationships
For every 1,000 people globally, 3.5 are working in forced labour conditions. Your organisation could be exposed through direct employment, suppliers, or extended supply chains. The landmark 2024 World Uyghur Congress v National Crime Agency Court of Appeal ruling has revolutionised this landscape, establishing that companies cannot rely on paying fair market value to avoid money laundering liability when dealing with goods suspected of being produced through forced labour.
This case fundamentally changed the interpretation of the "adequate consideration" exemption under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), meaning goods produced through forced labour can remain "criminal property" throughout the supply chain, exposing businesses to serious financial crime risks.
Through detailed case studies from fashion, manufacturing, and agriculture sectors, you'll see how forced labour risks manifest in practice and understand the new money laundering implications for businesses. Learn from both successful prevention strategies and recent regulatory enforcement actions that demonstrate the expanded scope of liability.
This training provides practical tools to identify, prevent, and respond to forced labour risks while ensuring full compliance with evolving legal requirements. Understand your new money laundering exposure and protect your organisation from both regulatory sanctions and reputational damage in this transformed compliance environment.
