Show me you mean it
PCPs put to work
Configure rules and requirements so your PCPs are actioned in the workflow, not filed away or misinterpreted. Decisions are guided by risk level, matter type and practice area, with approvals and escalations applied consistently, leaving a clear record of what was done, who signed off and why.
The quick and the PEP
Faster onboarding, without missing the risk
Automated outreach, guided document requests and AML-specific workflows keep onboarding moving. Configurable rules translate your AML programme into step-by-step execution, so teams collect what’s needed quickly, consistently and with evidence built in.
What lies beneath
KYB clarity built in
Pull shareholder data instantly and retrieve corporate registry information in a click, then map entity relationships automatically across jurisdictions. Ownership trails are visualised clearly from the entity you engage with through to the UBO and PSC, helping teams focus scrutiny where the risk sits and spot obscure structures without manual tracing.
"CDD is easy to over- or under-do. The First AML platform guides firms on what to ask for and why, and is clear about what the product is doing - which makes regulator conversations much easier."
- Amy Bell, CEO and Founder, Teal Compliance
Why firms trust First AML
Built on real AML experience
We processed over 2 million AML cases ourselves before building the platform - so it’s shaped by what works in practice.
Local support that understands compliance
Our Customer Success team is based in-market and works alongside local firms and consultants to help turn policies into day-to-day workflows.
Solutions, not sales pitches
We take a solution-led approach, configuring First AML around your risk framework, operating model and regulatory context.
Partners
We partner with the core systems law firms already rely on, enabling AML to align with existing client and matter workflows rather than sit alongside them.
Frequently asked questions
How does First AML help UK law firms preparing for a more FCA-style AML supervisory approach?
First AML embeds your policies, controls and procedures directly into matter onboarding workflows. Risk triggers, escalation thresholds and approval requirements are configured once and applied consistently across offices and practice areas.
Under a more evidence-led supervisory lens, this creates structured proof that controls are operating in practice, not just documented in policy.
How does First AML operationalise PCPs for UK law firms?
Rather than treating PCPs as a single document set, First AML translates controls into configurable rules and requirements within the workflow via a centralised rules library.
Policies define intent. Controls are mapped to risk and executed through the platform. Procedures are reflected in step-by-step guided onboarding. This makes the control layer visible, measurable and testable across the firm.
Can First AML demonstrate that AML controls are operating effectively across multiple offices?
Yes. Firm-wide standards are configured centrally, while workflows flex by matter type, jurisdiction and risk level. Risk-based triggers drive Enhanced Due Diligence, structured approvals and documented rationales.
Oversight dashboards provide visibility across practice groups, helping MLROs evidence consistent control application at scale.
How does First AML support control testing and oversight?
Because decisions, risk ratings, approvals and overrides are captured in structured fields, firms can review how controls are applied in reality.
Patterns, exceptions and escalations are visible. This enables targeted internal reviews and supports evidence that control testing informs remediation and improvement.
How does First AML reduce variation in AML execution between partners and teams?
Configurable rules and escalation logic ensure that requirements are triggered by risk, not individual interpretation.
This preserves professional judgement while preventing informal workarounds, creating a consistent control environment across practice areas without imposing blunt, one-size-fits-all processes.
How does First AML help firms evidence defensible AML decisions?
When a judgement is made, the risk factors considered, the checks performed and the approvals obtained are recorded within the case file.
This creates a clear audit trail showing what was done, who signed off and why - aligning with a supervisory model where “show me” carries more weight than “tell me”.
