Three friction points

Generic KYC tools don't fit a law firm.

Three friction points every firm knows - and our answer to each.

work_history

KYC per matter, not per client

One client often has several matters with different scope. We check exactly the right amount per matter.

check_circle KYC per matter, not per client
lock_person

Who may see which file - you decide

Restricted files and matters behind an information barrier stay protected. Only authorised people see the file.

Deep research when needed

For pre-engagement and counterparty research, DIRT (Deep Investigation Research Tool) delivers sourced findings - each one cited.
