SMARTSEARCH, a UK provider of digital AML and compliance solutions, has integrated its technology with Clio’s legal practice management platform.
The companies said the integration embeds SmartSearch’s AML verification and monitoring tools directly into Clio’s platform.
They said this allows law firms “manage compliance seamlessly within their existing workflows”.
Kerry Cleary, Partnership Director at SmartSearch, said the collaboration simplifies compliance for law firms. “By embedding our digital AML solution into Clio’s platform, we empower law firms to enhance efficiency, reduce risk, and maintain regulatory compliance without disrupting their daily operations,” she said.

SmartSearch said the partnership will automate AML and identity checks, streamline client onboarding and enable real-time data verification. It added that the integration reflects both companies’ focus on meeting the evolving compliance needs of the legal sector.
