This paper explores how law firms are rethinking their intake and risk operations as regulatory demands, client expectations, and matter complexity continue to rise. It highlights the widening gap between traditional, disconnected workflows and the need for integrated processes that bring AML, KYC, conflicts, and intake into one environment. The paper outlines why firms are reassessing long-standing practices and show how modern, connected risk architecture enables faster reviews, better information, and more defensible decision-making across the onboarding lifecycle.
