London, UK. 2 March 2026 - Actionstep and First AML today announced the global release of their native integration, delivering law firms a smooth, automated and audit-ready AML workflow.
The integration pairs Actionstep’s configurable matter workflows with First AML’s configurable compliance platform, enabling firms to run AML in a way that aligns with how they already work. Frontline staff can initiate AML directly from Actionstep, while AML leaders manage the full process within First AML. Information flows cleanly between the two systems, reducing administrative effort and creating a complete, defensible audit trail.
“Firms choose Actionstep because it adapts to how they actually run their practice, rather than forcing them into rigid processes,” said Oliver Tromp, Regional VP, UK. “First AML shares that same configurable, firm-first philosophy. That alignment is exactly why customers have been asking for this integration: it brings compliance into Actionstep in a way that feels natural, flexible and built for how firms really work.”
First AML brings years of experience supporting regulated firms across the globe, with over two million AML cases completed across multiple regulatory regimes. Firms benefit from an AML platform that is proven under scrutiny, regulator-aligned and refined through millions of real-world onboarding scenarios.
The integration directly addresses the challenges faced by modern law firms globally: executing AML policy in practice, supporting unique firm-wide and client-matter risk assessments, eliminating fragmented manual processes, ensuring consistency across offices and teams, removing re-keying, maintaining continuous audit readiness, and delivering a smoother digital onboarding experience for clients. These capabilities are increasingly important as firms face increasingly heightened supervisory expectations that are outcomes-focused and data-driven.
“Firms want confidence that the AML systems they adopt today will stand up to evolving supervisory models and increased regulatory scrutiny,” said Milan Cooper, CEO of First AML. “This integration embeds a proven, multi-jurisdictional AML capability natively into Actionstep, helping firms evidence consistent, defensible AML execution within their day-to-day legal workflows.”
The Actionstep × First AML integration is now available. Contact partnerships@firstaml.com for more information.
