In today’s regulatory landscape—marked by increasingly strict and complex anti-money laundering (AML) obligations—client due diligence is a critical process for law firms. More than a formal requirement, it represents a concrete responsibility in preventing money laundering and terrorist financing.
In this context, technology is emerging as a strategic tool to ensure that procedures are not only compliant but also efficient and scalable.
The Italian newspaper ItaliaOggi recently conducted a survey exploring the tools and strategies adopted by Italian law firms to manage AML compliance. Among the interviewees was Francesco Biazzo, who outlined LEXIA’s innovative approach.
“Alongside the traditional collection of data and documents,” Biazzo explained, “we are developing proprietary software that enables us to manage client due diligence through a guided digital form, which organizes all required information in a structured and compliant manner.”
This digital tool allows for centralized and organized information management, improving internal efficiency and reducing operational risk. Key features include automated alerts that notify the team when due diligence must be updated—either due to regulatory requirements or internal risk-based policies.
The integration of legal expertise and technology marks another step forward in LEXIA’s commitment to a modern, transparent, and fully compliant law firm model—aligned with international best practices in the field of compliance.
