Risk assessments sit at the heart of effective AML compliance in legal practice, but they are often treated as box-ticking exercises. This focused course shows your people how to use risk assessments as a practical filter that protects the firm, its lawyers, and its clients from financial crime.

A firm-wide risk assessment (FWRA) is the backbone of a law firm’s AML framework—but in many practices it is either generic, outdated, or sits on a shelf. This course gives leaders and compliance teams a clear, practical roadmap for designing, documenting and maintaining a FWRA that genuinely reflects the firm’s risks and drives better decisions. Learners see how a strong FWRA underpins client and matter risk assessments, resource allocation and regulatory confidence.

Assessing each client’s risk profile is a core part of AML compliance and can’t be left only to specialists. This course shows fee earners, onboarding staff and supervisors how to use a structured, practical approach to client risk so they can decide what checks are needed, how closely to monitor a relationship, and when to say no.

Understanding where a client’s money comes from is central to effective Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance, yet Source of Funds and Source of Wealth checks are often the part clients like least. This course helps your teams handle SoF and SoW in a confident, proportionate way that protects the firm without needlessly frustrating clients. Using contrasting scenarios, learners see when basic checks are enough and when deeper questioning and evidence are essential.

Anti-money laundering compliance in law firms depends on the everyday vigilance of everyone who deals with clients or files—not just specialists. This course helps staff at all levels recognise common AML red flags and understand exactly what to do when they appear.
