Thirdfort + Actionstep Partner for Law Firm AML – Artificial Lawyer

Client due diligence pioneer Thirdfort is partnering with Actionstep, the law firm practice management company, to integrate its digital ID verification, AML, and Source of Funds capabilities into the latter’s platform.

Aimed at streamlining compliance for mid-size law firms, the deal enables lawyers to carry out client due diligence without ‘context switching’ and complete Thirdfort’s checks entirely within Actionstep workflows.

This is what they say is now possible:

‘Seamless workflow integration: Firms can initiate ID, AML, and Source of Funds checks directly in Actionstep, reducing administrative tasks and the need for platform switching.

Accelerated client onboarding: Digital verification reduces time-to-onboard by up to 80%, helping firms start work faster.

Enhanced compliance and risk management: Secure document scanning, facial recognition, and bank-grade encryption help firms meet AML obligations with confidence.’

Actionstep operates in the UK, North America, Australia, and New Zealand. Meanwhile, Thirdfort provides automated ID verification, anti-money laundering (AML) and Source of Funds checks on individuals and businesses. 

Amie Hornegold, Strategic Partnerships Manager at Thirdfort, said: ‘Partnering with Actionstep is all about empowering law firms with smarter, simpler ways to meet compliance needs without disrupting their workflow.’

While Oliver Tromp, Regional Vice President UK, Actionstep, added: ‘By combining our powerful practice management platform with Thirdfort’s best-in-class ID verification and AML tools, we’re enabling firms to reduce risk, boost efficiency, and stay compliant, all whilst maintaining a high standard of client service. It’s a win for firms, a win for clients, and a win for the future of law.’

Thirdfort has come a long way since first hitting the legal tech scene as part of Mishcon de Reya’s MDR Lab and has now ‘verified over two million individuals on behalf of more than 1,500 law firms, estate agents, and other regulated professionals’ – which is quite an impressive feat of scaling.

The integration with Actionstep should help them to stay close to where their customers and potential new customers already are operating, thus growing the business. For Actionstep, the deal helps to keep customers happy by providing a wider range of capabilities all on one platform.
