Firms carry AML obligations on client and matter intake, often against corporate clients with structures that take real work to establish. IQON handles the intake, the ownership and the record — and keeps them current for as long as the retainer lasts.
Matter 2026-0418
A consistent intake process that does not depend on which fee earner opens the file.
Screening, adverse media and risk classification on clients and connected persons.
Diligence recorded against the relationship and available when the matter is reviewed.
Corporate clients, ownership and relevant structures identified and maintained throughout the relationship.
Holding chains and cross-border ownership held as one picture.
Requested from the client directly, chased automatically and filed against the matter.
Partner or MLRO sign-off as a recorded step, not an email.
Monitoring continues for the life of the retainer, not just at intake.
The firm's reason for accepting the client, recorded in its own words.
A legal firm's core systems are built around matters, documents, time and billing. IQON sits around the client relationship, coordinating onboarding, ownership, KYC, approvals, monitoring and evidence across the life of that relationship.
When an existing client opens a new matter, the firm starts from a current view of the client rather than rebuilding the compliance picture from scratch.
Create the client relationship and start the intake process with the information already available.
Request declarations, ownership information, source of funds, documents and other required information directly from the client and connected persons.
Establish beneficial ownership, screen relevant people and entities, assess risk and identify anything requiring further review.
Route the completed case to the appropriate partner, MLRO or other reviewer, with the information and evidence needed to make the decision.
Keep screening, ownership information and risk under review for the life of the retainer, with relevant changes triggering follow up when needed.
Client intake brings together several IQON capabilities in one coordinated process.
Collect information, declarations, documents and verification from clients and other participants.
Send engagement documents, declarations, mandates and other documents for electronic signature where the process requires it.
Route information requests, reviews, approvals and follow up between fee earners, compliance staff and external participants.
