How can law firms perform better client due diligence?
Law firms can strengthen client due diligence by investigating company ownership, directors, shareholders, beneficial owners, regulatory history and adverse media before accepting instructions. VerityRadar brings this information together in one platform, making investigations faster and more comprehensive.
What is enhanced due diligence for law firms?
Enhanced due diligence (EDD) is a deeper investigation carried out when a client or transaction presents a higher level of risk. It often includes reviewing ownership structures, related entities, sanctions, adverse media and corporate relationships.
How does VerityRadar support an AML programme?
By doing the research your programme depends on. It helps legal professionals understand the businesses and people behind transactions, supporting stronger customer due diligence and informed risk assessments – with every finding traceable to the document it came from.
Can VerityRadar investigate overseas companies?
Yes. VerityRadar enables firms to investigate companies operating across multiple jurisdictions, helping legal teams assess ownership structures, corporate relationships and potential risks before engaging with international clients or counterparties.
Who within a law firm uses VerityRadar?
VerityRadar is designed for partners, lawyers, compliance managers, risk teams, client onboarding teams and business acceptance committees involved in due diligence and client risk assessment.
Is VerityRadar an AML platform?
No. VerityRadar is a corporate intelligence platform. It complements AML and KYC processes rather than replacing them: every report carries the AML-relevant findings — sanctions, PEP and beneficial-ownership screening, each linked to its source — but the programme, the workflow and the reporting obligations remain yours.
