AML Compliance Associate

Who is AML Sorted?

Established in 2025, AMLS is passionate about Anti-Money Laundering compliance in legal services and is a subsidiary of Teal Compliance, one of the largest legal compliance consultancies in the UK. Our mission is simple: law firms and their clients feel safe by having AML compliance programmes which actually work, rather than just ticking boxes. Compliance is a serious business, it's a framework to protect clients, and the staff who work in professional services. As well as being professional, an AMLS person is friendly, approachable, commercially minded and can adapt their approach so that it really fits what our clients need.
