AML software built for control, consistency and client experience
AML software for the realities of legal practice
Same, same, different
Configurability without fragmentation
Use rules and requirements to guide the frontline to collect what’s needed, when it’s needed. Risk triggers can differ by practice area or matter type, while remaining governed by a single, firm-wide AML framework.
Smooth sailing
Lower friction for all
AML steps are embedded into matter workflows so fee earners collect what’s required without unnecessary disruption. Risk-based information collection and reuse reduce repeat requests and protect client experience and billable time.
What's in a name
Controls that hold up under scrutiny
AML policy is enforced through rules, thresholds and escalations, not informal judgement. Decisions are applied consistently and evidenced clearly across every file - protecting the firm and your reputation.
“The software itself is very intuitive - it’s not complex, it has amazing features like the corporate structure visualisation tool where I am able to map out the whole client structure, the bespoke risk assessment of course, and the risk rating – everything is in one place.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How does First AML ensure AML controls are applied consistently across a law firm?
First AML operationalises your AML programme through configurable rules and requirements that apply automatically across matters, practice areas and offices. Controls are enforced through the workflow, not individual judgement, ensuring your policy is applied consistently regardless of who opens the matter or where the work is done.
Can First AML support complex legal practices with different matter types and risk profiles?
Yes. First AML is designed for firms with multiple practice areas, varied services and differing risk exposures. You can configure risk factors, thresholds and escalation logic by matter type or practice area, while maintaining a single, firm-wide AML framework and central oversight.
How does First AML support both client onboarding and ongoing CDD in a legal context?
First AML supports the full AML lifecycle for law firms, from initial client and matter onboarding through to ongoing CDD, periodic reviews and trigger-based refreshes. Ongoing monitoring is tied to your firm’s risk rules and events, not static calendars, ensuring AML remains active throughout the client relationship.
How does First AML help law firms demonstrate AML effectiveness during audits or inspections?
First AML creates a complete, audit-ready record of how AML controls were applied in practice. Risk assessments, screening results, enhanced due diligence, overrides, approvals and escalations are all logged with timestamps, reasoning and version history. This provides clear evidence of decision-making, not just policy documentation.
How does First AML handle different offices, jurisdictions or regulatory obligations within the same firm?
First AML allows firms to configure jurisdiction-specific rules, requirements and thresholds while retaining firm-wide governance. This enables proportional compliance for different offices or regulatory regimes without fragmenting systems, processes or oversight.
How does First AML reduce disruption for fee earners while maintaining control?
AML steps are embedded directly into client and matter workflows, reducing ad-hoc requests and follow-ups. Fee earners are guided to collect only what’s required at the right time, while compliance retains control over risk decisions, escalations and evidence.
