Legal risk management platform: Onboard clients with zero compliance surprises
Mitigate risk from the first interaction with in-form Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks, backed by a powerful conflicts engine. Explore how our client onboarding software helps your law firm stay compliant.
Eliminate risk before it disrupts revenue
Law firms cannot afford compliance surprises after a pitch is won. Missed conflicts, incomplete AML checks, and unclear approval chains can stall engagements, damage reputation, and expose the firm to regulatory consequences. What begins as a business development opportunity can quickly become a compliance liability without structured legal risk management controls in place from day one.
The root cause is fragmentation. Intake, conflicts, AML screening, and approval workflows often sit across disconnected systems and teams. Business development moves forward while risk teams operate in parallel, increasing the likelihood of missed checks or delayed approvals. This disconnect shows up in challenges like these.
- Conflicts identified late in the pursuit process
- AML screenings triggered after proposals are drafted
- Manual intake processes that increase error risk
- Lack of visibility into who has approved what
- Siloed business development and risk workflows
- Inconsistent audit documentation across matters
Build compliance into every client onboarding decision
The Microsoft Industry Cloud for Law Firms offering from sa.global provides key client onboarding tools and integrated risk management capabilities that enhance efficiency and compliance. It combines sa.global’s evergreen conflicts engine with empower onboard, delivering a coordinated legal risk management framework across intake, AML, and approval workflows.
This connected approach directly addresses the operational gaps described above. Conflict checks, AML screening, and approval routing are embedded into your client onboarding software so compliance is enforced before revenue is pursued. That control layer removes the manual rework behind the challenges above. Here is what it enforces.

Unify risk, compliance, and onboarding workflows
Effective legal risk management depends on operational unification. evergreen and empower onboard bring together intake, conflict checks, AML screening, and approval workflows into a single structured process.

As part of the Microsoft Industry Cloud for Law Firms, this approach anchors legal risk management within Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Azure, creating a secure and connected environment where client onboarding software and risk controls operate on the same data foundation.
