However, the technology also brings with it the prospect of abuse leading to trade based money laundering. This seminar explores how the anti money laundering (AML) legislation should respond to the use of blockchain technology in shipping and trade. Drawing on tried and tested forms of blockchain technology based trade transactions, the seminar examines the fault lines in the current regulatory systems, noting that the EU\u2019s future plans for AML reform are starkly different from those of the UK, US and elsewhere. At a practical level the seminar will discuss how best these gaps should be remedied. This seminar is intended to be suitable for attendees with a law or non-law background.&nbsp; No prior knowledge of blockchain technology or trade financing methods is required.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speaker<\/h2><div class=\"wp-block-text-image\">\n  <div class=\"row align-bottom collapse\">\n    <div class=\"column small-12 medium-6 xlarge-5 xxlarge-expand wp-block-text-image-info js-fade-scroll\">\n      <p class=\"wp-block-text-image-title\">Jason Chuah<\/p>\n      <div class=\"wp-block-text-image-intro\"><p><strong>Professor Jason Chuah FRSA <\/strong>is Professor of Commercial and Maritime Law and formerly Head of Department at The City Law School, City University of London, UK.
