Aderant and First AML launch AML compliance integration for law firms

August 10, 2026 5:01 PM

Aderant, a business management software provider for law firms and a unit of Roper Technologies (Nasdaq: ROP), has made generally available an integration connecting its Aderant Expert and Expert Sierra practice management platforms to First AML, a provider of anti-money laundering and client due diligence solutions.

According to a press release, the integration allows law firm staff to run AML checks from within the Aderant workflow, without switching to a separate system. Verification outcomes are written back into an AML approval history table in Expert or Expert Sierra, accessible through Entity Manager for reporting and audit purposes.

The integration includes a review screen that allows assigned users to confirm which contacts and matter parties are included before a case is submitted to First AML. The system also recognizes individuals previously verified through First AML. Firms can run the workflow as a standalone check or incorporate it into an existing file-opening process.

Implementation is handled through Aderant's Professional Services team, which configures the integration for each firm individually.

"For clients running Expert or Expert Sierra alongside First AML, AML checks now happen inside the same workflow staff already use, instead of as a separate process," said Josiah Chaves, Chief Client Officer at Aderant.

Milan Cooper, CEO of First AML, said: "AML compliance shouldn't require firms to leave the systems they already rely on."

The integration follows a partnership announcement between the two companies earlier in 2026. Aderant is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. First AML is based in Auckland, New Zealand, with offices in Australia and the U.K.
