We are proud to announce that Good Law Software (GLS) has partnered with the risk management platform for professional services, Thirdfort, to aid lawyers in tackling the ever-increasing risks of fraud and money laundering.
This integration with Thirdfort will disrupt the legal industry since it will eradicate the need for our clients to look for other software to carry out checks such as Know Your Client (KYC), Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Source-of-Funds (SoF). GLS will now provide all of these services within the system.
Thirdfort has been very dedicated and sincere with its aim to support law practitioners as they navigate the growing problem of fraud and compliance burden. The integration with GLS is an additional legal platform partnership for Thirdfort.
The partnership of GLS with Thirdfort will aid users to finish their KYC and AML checks securely and conveniently on their cellphones. It is also a quick process now and takes mere minutes to complete. This solution combines government-grade ID verification, live company AML data, PEPs and Sanctions screening and UBO discovery so that clients have the most accurate, up-to-date and reliable information, all in one place.
Via this collaboration with Thirdfort, users of GLS now have the convenience of not leaving the software in order to conduct ID & AML checks. Law practitioners can now experience flexibility over the information they can request from clients – i.e. with a Source of Funds check or an additional Proof of Address upload. Additionally, users can also complete their ID checks themselves and the legal or property professionals will continue and complete their transactions from there. The whole process has become quick and easy to do.
The best-in-class KYC and AML services, Open Banking and transaction-specific data that power Tirdfort’s proprietary risk engine identifies fraud and money laundering risks faster, smoother, and more accurately than manual verification.
GLS is an all-in-one, cost-effective Legal Practice Management Software designed by legal professionals for legal professionals. GLS offers a complete range of integrations and features, among which FCA-approved open banking, accounting, legally optimised calendar, dashboard, advanced reports, HR, CRM, and so many more.
“This is a fantastic milestone for GLS, having now fully complemented and integrated with a powerful digital ID check and AML tool such as Thirdfort. At GLS, we see Thirdfort as a powerful, easy-to-use, secure and cost-effective tool for lawyers and consumers equally,” says Atef Elmarakby, the Founder and CEO of Good Law Software, about this partnership with Thirdfort.
Likewise, the Head of Partnerships at Thirdfort, Matt Berry had this to say about the integration between the two companies, “GLS is an innovative legal software provider and we’re excited to announce our partnership. Thanks to a seamless integration GLS’s clients will now be able to benefit from Thirdfort’s best in class product and meet their compliance requirements in a fully integrated way. We’re really pleased to add another Case Management provider to our growing ecosystem of integration partners and look forward to working more closely moving forward.”
