AML Compliance for Solicitors
Combining every AML service you need in one convenient place, SmartSearch makes anti money laundering checks for solicitors easy. We focus on meeting regulatory requirements in line with the SRA, so you don’t have to.
Ensuring Solicitors are AML Compliant
As The Law Society says, ‘compliance with money laundering obligations is one of the greatest challenges for solicitors in the UK today’. AML checks for solicitors can be an expensive, time-consuming task, and manual checks can often prove inaccurate, as they’re open to human error.
The SmartSearch platform is the most efficient and cost-effective way of carrying out money laundering checks for solicitors. We offer the only AML solution with full sanction and PEP screening, and ongoing monitoring. Our electronic verification is fast and reliable, and all our checks are automatically saved, so you can retrieve them on demand for audits and regulatory visits. New and existing clients can be onboarded in bulk, so you remain compliant at all times.

Just a few areas we can help you with
Flexible AML Services for Solicitors
From KYC and sanctions screening to ongoing monitoring – you can access all our AML services in the holistic SmartSearch platform, but we know that flexibility is important. That’s why SmartSearch can integrate these products into your law firm’s software directly, to make AML checks for solicitors even easier, using existing files.
Our user-friendly app will even grant you access to these services when you’re out of the office, so you can verify your client’s identity on the go, and receive automated alerts to any change in their status.
