Intake is where most of the risk sits.
Worth walking through how yours runs today.
A consistent intake process that does not depend on which fee earner opens the file.
Client due diligence that stands up later
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.
Across intake and beyond
Client onboarding
AML/KYC
Screening, adverse media and risk classification on clients and connected persons.
Client and matter due diligence
Diligence recorded against the relationship and available when the matter is reviewed.
Beneficial ownership
Corporate clients, ownership and relevant structures identified and maintained throughout the relationship.
Complex structures
Holding chains and cross-border ownership held as one picture.
Information and documents
Requested from the client directly, chased automatically, filed against the file.
Internal approval
Partner or MLRO sign-off as a recorded step, not an email.
Ongoing obligations
Monitoring continues for the life of the retainer, not just at intake.
Decision evidence
Why the firm accepted the client, in the firm's own words, kept.
