KYC
Know Your Client (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) solutions help law firms and legal departments verify the identity of clients and assess associated risk before or during onboarding, in line with regulatory client due diligence obligations. These tools typically screen individuals and entities against sanctions lists, politically exposed persons databases, and adverse media, often supplementing this with source of funds checks and know your business (KYB) verification to unwind corporate structures behind a client entity. Screening is usually paired with ongoing monitoring rather than a single check at onboarding, and may integrate with new business intake and conflicts checking systems so identity verification happens as part of a single workflow. KYC and AML technology is particularly important for firms operating in jurisdictions with strict client due diligence requirements, such as the UK and EU. AI agents are increasingly used within this category to automate labor intensive compliance tasks, including remediating false positive alerts from screening tools, verifying that client documents meet policy requirements, and summarizing due diligence findings to give risk teams faster, more consistent context on cases flagged for review.
