Good Law Software (GLS) is partnering with the risk management platform for professional services, Thirdfort, to help lawyers tackle the surging fraud and money laundering risks.

This integration with Thirdfort will remove the necessity for our clients to scour other software to conduct checks such as Know Your Client (KYC), Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Source-of-Funds (SoF). All of these services will now be available within the GLS platform.

The integration with GLS is a further legal platform partner for Thirdfort and closely follows partnerships with cloud-based software Dye & Durham and case management platform SpineLegal. The move demonstrates Thirdfort’s aim to better support legal professionals as they tackle the growing fraud and compliance burden.

The integration of GLS with Thirdfort will help clients complete their KYC and AML checks securely and conveniently on their smartphones in a matter of minutes. This solution combines government-grade ID verification, AML data and up to date, PEPs and Sanctions screening so that clients have the most accurate, up-to-date and reliable information, all in one place.

Through this partnership with Thirdfort, GLS clients now have the convenience of not leaving the CMS to order ID & AML checks. Legal professionals have the flexibility over the information they can request from clients – i.e. with a Source of Funds check or an additional Proof of Address upload. Clients 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.

Thirdfort’s proprietary risk engine identifies fraud and money laundering risks faster, smoother, and more accurately than manual verification. The risk engine is powered by best-in-class KYC and AML services alongside Open Banking and transaction-specific data.

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.

Atef Elmarakby, the Founder and CEO of Good Law Software, said about this partnership with Thirdfort, “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.”

Similarly, 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.”
