Evidence-Grade UK Data for Every Stage of the Matter

Simunix gives UK law firms the data behind client due diligence, lawful tracing and property evidence. Every search is made under UK GDPR and tied to a purpose the firm can name. The result is a file that stands up to the regulator and to the other side.

The Challenges

What Legal teams are up against

A retainer cannot open before the client is known

Client due diligence is a condition of acting under the Money Laundering Regulations, and diligence that takes days strains the relationship before it starts. Simunix confirms individual clients against multiple UK data sources in one check, with PEP, sanctions and adverse media screening included, alongside identity and bereavement checks, and resolves corporate clients through ORBIS to the register entry and the directors behind it. Each check is stored against the matter at the point it completes, forming the CDD record the regulations require.

Litigation waits on an address nobody holds

Proceedings cannot be served on a defendant whose last known address is three moves old, and a judgment pursued against a counterparty with nothing recoverable turns costs already spent into costs thrown after them. Simunix locates individuals across 120M+ UK consumer and business records, with current and previous addresses showing each move, and person verify confirms the individual before papers are prepared. ORBIS sets out directorships and mortgage index charges, while Land Registry titles show what the counterparty owns before the firm advises on enforcement.

Finding the beneficiaries an estate owes

A private client file holds the addresses people had when the will was drafted, and an estate cannot be distributed around a beneficiary who has moved twice since. Simunix traces from whatever the file contains, a name, a last address or a maiden name, and follows the record forward to a current address across 120M+ UK records. Person verify ties that address to the right individual, and Land Registry titles and the Companies House register confirm what the deceased held and in whose name.

Outcomes

What changes with Simunix

Findings that name their source

A trace, a title check or a company report arrives citing the record behind it, whether the Electoral Register, the Land Register or Companies House. When the other side questions how a fact was established, the answer is the source itself.

Weeks of correspondence become a single search

Address history, person verify and telephone validation compress traces that once ran through agents and returned post. Fee earner and paralegal time goes into the matter. Estates distribute sooner and proceedings serve at the first attempt more often.

A CDD file the COLP can stand behind

Due diligence run through Simunix is dated from intake, so an SRA file review finds the evidence the MLRs require already on the file. The contemporaneous record carries the same weight an attendance note does: it was created at the time.
