LexAML: AML/CTF Compliance Platform

How GetPost Labs approaches legal compliance automation. KYC verification, AUSTRAC reporting, and continuous monitoring in a unified platform.

Conceptual Prototype — Illustrating our approach

Executive Summary

The Problem: Law firms face 2+ hour KYC verification per client, unsearchable paper records spanning 7 years, and the constant risk of AUSTRAC audit failures.

The Solution: LexAML automates DVS, ASIC, and ABN checks in 30 seconds. Risk scoring is transparent. Audit trails are always complete and instantly searchable.

The Outcome: Compliance officers focus on genuine risk assessment rather than data entry. Firms go from "scrambling for audits" to "always audit-ready."

The Challenge

Understanding the problem space

"We received an AUSTRAC audit notice and couldn't produce the required documentation in time. Our compliance team worked nights for two weeks."

— Managing Partner, mid-tier Sydney law firm

Anti-Money Laundering compliance requires law firms to verify every client's identity, assess risk levels, monitor transactions, and maintain records for 7 years. Under AML/CTF Tranche-2, these obligations are expanding to cover property transactions and trusts.

Most firms still rely on manual processes: photocopying IDs, filling paper forms, storing documents in filing cabinets. When AUSTRAC audits, the scramble to locate records across years of transactions creates enormous stress and risk.

How Compliance Risk Is Reduced

Systematic verification, not manual checking

Risk reduction comes from replacing error-prone manual checks with automated, auditable verification:

Identity Verification

Before

Photocopy driver's licence, manually enter details into spreadsheet, file in cabinet. Hope nothing is misspelled.

After

DVS check returns verified result in seconds. Digital record linked to client file automatically.

Company Due Diligence

Before

Manually search ASIC website, download extracts, cross-reference directors with client declarations.

After

One-click ASIC extract with beneficial ownership mapping. Directors auto-verified against DVS.

Audit Preparation

Before

When AUSTRAC calls, spend days searching filing cabinets, reconstructing timelines, hoping nothing is missing.

After

Click "Generate Audit Package" — complete history with timeline, all checks, and supporting documents.
