STANBIC PARTNERS WITH THE LAW ASSOCIATION OF ZAMBIA TO HOST MONTHLY WEBINAR SERIES UNDER THE TITLE OF “THE LEGAL PRACTICE IN THE 21ST CENTURY”
LUSAKA, ZAMBIA – Stanbic Bank Zambia Limited remains committed to the development of Zambia, which we call our home and thus we drive its growth. As a Bank seek to consistently meet our customers’ demands with precision and speed using technology to empower our people to deliver strong business results. This promise continues notwithstanding risk events such as disease pandemic (COVID 19) and as a Bank we remain resolute in having a structured approach towards Compliance and Risk in general. We however cannot achieve excellent client experience alone without engaging with our stakeholders, which includes co-operating professional bodies and regulatory bodies alike.
It is for this reason that the Bank has partnered with the Law Association of Zambia to host monthly webinar series under the title of “The Legal Practice in the 21st Century”. This will spur discussion towards continued development of our country, Zambia and it is also hoped that the monthly topics will provide practical insights that will enhance client delivery across multiple disciplines beyond the legal and financial service industry.
Stanbic Bank Chief Compliance Officer, Walubita Luwabelwa said “It is very timely that Stanbic has partnered with the Law Association of Zambia during this time to bring to you industry thought leaders that will share experiences of how they have meandered volatile business environments, key legal and compliance issues necessary for success, and expectations from supervisory bodies. As a bank, this is consistent with our commitment to develop Zambia by not just offering financial and related products, but also actively engaging with you our customers at various levels to deliver sustained value.”
LAZ Executive Member, Mr. Stanley Banda “ I tuned into the webinar series “The Legal Practice in the 21st Century” episode 1 on Tuesday 22nd June 2021. The topic under discussion was the “Evolving Role of In-House Counsel - The Practice of Compliance”. I must say that by the end of the episode, my expectations had been far exceeded. As a newly admitted member to the Zambian Bar, I am faced with making career choices within the legal fraternity that has been dominated by traditional roles of a lawyer going to represent a client in Court. From the episode, I was enlightened to practice areas that have evolved for lawyers over the last few years that I would not have been aware of had I not tuned in. The episode was well structured, informative and quite interactive. I look forward to the following episodes and would encourage my fellow lawyers and general viewers and listeners to tune in.”
