What is AML software for UK law firms?
AML software for UK law firms helps teams verify clients, assess client and matter risk, collect source-of-funds evidence, screen for PEP and sanctions exposure, and keep an auditable record of decisions. Certivus supports these workflows for firms that need structured client due diligence and clearer evidence trails.
- Built for KYC, CDD, risk scoring, screening, and evidence storage
- Supports SRA and internal AML review preparation without replacing professional judgement
- Useful for regulated matters where client identity and funding evidence must be documented
Who supervises you

Who uses it
Certivus is built first for UK accountancy practices, and the practices already on it include two UK law firms, Shams Williams and Afsar Williams. The MLR 2017 framework (reg. 18 firm-wide risk assessment, reg. 28 CDD, reg. 33 EDD triggers, reg. 40 retention) is identical between accountancy and SRA-regulated practice. Certivus founder Mehmood Rajoka is an owner of RR Accountants, and RR runs its AML on Certivus.
Questions
What AML evidence should a law firm keep?
A law firm should keep evidence of client and matter risk assessments, identity verification, beneficial ownership checks where relevant, source of funds/source of wealth enquiries, PEP and sanctions screening, ongoing monitoring decisions, policies, controls, procedures, and staff training.
Does Certivus replace legal-sector AML guidance?
No. Certivus supports evidence collection, screening, risk scoring, and records. Firms should still follow SRA, LSAG, and internal compliance guidance and take legal or compliance advice where needed.
Which law-firm workflows does Certivus support?
Certivus supports client intake, matter-level checks, risk assessment evidence, PEP and sanctions screening, review decisions, and exportable audit records for internal or regulator-facing reviews.
