Legal Eye Academy unveils enhanced AML training module

Legal Eye has announced an important new update, with the launch of an enhanced Anti-Money Laundering (AML) module, designed to reflect the latest AML guidance from the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).

The Legal Eye Academy – a purpose-built online training platform helping legal professionals to meet mandatory compliance requirements – continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of modern law firms. The newly released module is the latest development in the Academy’s mission to ensure firms stay ahead of regulatory change while saving valuable time and resources.

Key features of the 2025 AML module include:

• Full integration of the SRA’s 2025 AML guidance, ensuring firms are training staff on the most current legal and regulatory requirements.
• A new interactive map highlighting jurisdictions and regions considered high-risk, enhancing awareness and due diligence among users.
• A comprehensive update on the Terrorism Act, with clear guidance on what this means in practice for Money Laundering Reporting Officers (MLROs) and wider legal teams.

The updated module complements the Academy’s existing suite of training tools, which cover essential topics such as anti-bribery, GDPR, cybercrime, vulnerable clients, reputational risk, and client service delivery. Each module is designed to fit into busy legal workflows, with interactive, bite-sized training that users can complete at their own pace.

Paul Saunders, Managing Director of Legal Eye, commented: “Keeping up with the compliance landscape can be a real challenge for law firms – particularly when in-house resources are limited. Our updated AML module ensures firms remain compliant with the latest regulations and are able to train their teams efficiently, effectively and with confidence.”

With its personal logins, progress tracking, assessment features, and built-in reminders, the Legal Eye Academy makes firm-wide training straightforward and auditable. It’s proved to be a vital asset for firms looking to evidence their commitment to compliance with clients, regulators and insurers alike.
