Comprehensive background checks for the legal sector

Accurate has a reputation for going above and beyond to deliver exceptional screening services to the legal sector. As a result we serve over 100 legal clients, including 7 out of the top 10 global law companies and 4 of the 5 UK magic circle firms.

Secure, reliable, and compliant screenings

The legal sector demands a specific, professional and personal service for background checks.

We work closely with industry regulators including the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to ensure every aspect of background screening is covered comprehensively and meets the high standards required.

And our approach means every company and individual involved in a background check can be assured of an exceptional, reliable, and personal service every time.

The personal touch – for everyone

Accurate works closely with every client to ensure our background checking service precisely matches our customers’ requirements. We build bespoke packages in consultation with employers rather than dictating what we think they need. Our service covers legal practitioners through to support staff and we give every employee involved a personal ‘VIP’ service including their own dedicated case worker.

Navigating complexities across international business

The legal industry is a global one and Accurate’s service matches this. Our background checking service spans 200 countries, reflecting both the needs of our clients and the demands of each location. Accurate’s international teams ensure lawful and ethical practices around the globe. Our specialists understand how to secure the assurances and references employers need, who to approach and how to get the information required.

Going further to deliver certainty

Unlike other providers Accurate does not operate a ‘three strikes’ policy and will continue to work on a screening project to ensure references are secured. Alongside our legal knowledge we have a cultural understanding of how background checks work in diverse countries and locations, with the result that checks can be carried out smoothly for all.

Delivering confidence with transparency

Accurate’s service keeps organisations in the loop, informing them of any issues as they emerge throughout the screening process. We give our clients access to a dedicated screening platform which will make them aware of red flags or discrepancies if and when they arise. The level of reporting provided can be designed uniquely for each client giving them the assurance they need every step of the way.
