AML for law firms & legal professionals
Structured client intake, UBO visibility for trusts and shells, sanctions screening, and documented risk decisions — for practices with AML obligations under MLR, FATF DNFBP rules, or firm policy.
Compliance units in large firms, trust & corporate practices, and legal teams with AML obligations — not a practice management or billing system.
Complii supports client AML intake and monitoring — it does not provide matter management, trust accounting, or bar-regulated filing.
Regulatory landscape
Typical obligations by jurisdiction and how Complii supports your program. Requirements vary — validate with your compliance counsel.
| Jurisdiction | Typical obligation | How Complii helps |
|---|---|---|
| UK / EU | MLR / AMLD6 — client DD, UBO, PEP | Client profiles, corporate KYB, screening, risk framework |
| United States | ABA guidance and firm AML policies | Documented CDD, screening, case evidence |
| LATAM | Local DNFBP rules where applicable | Configurable risk rules and audit trail |
| Global | Sanctions on clients and related parties | Screening with match review and rescreening |
