What practitioners struggle with

Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Amiqus addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.

New client calls the office, receptionist takes notes on paper, conflict check takes 48 hours — by then the prospect hired the first attorney who picked up the phone

Client & Matter Lifecycle 45 vendors affected Solo practitioner · Small firm (2–10) · Mid-size firm (11–50) · Large firm (51–200)

When a law firm is about to open a cross-border matter or act for a new counterparty, conflicts is not enough — they need sanctions, PEP, adverse-media, and ownership screening in one report before the engagement goes live, so they do not inherit AML risk or explain later why nobody checked the red flags.

Filing & Compliance 3 vendors affected Small firm (2–10) · Mid-size firm (11–50) · Large firm (51–200) · In-house counsel

Law firm onboarding a new client needs to complete AML/KYC identity verification but the manual process takes days — collecting passport copies, proof of address, running sanctions and PEP lists, documenting source of funds, all while the client is waiting to instruct and the clock is ticking on their matter
