Legal Information - Person

The Legal Information - Person API provides crucial insights into a person’s legal history, helping identify liabilities, assess risks, and ensure compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. By accessing up-to-date legal data, businesses can strengthen due diligence, avoid reputational harm, and make informed, secure decisions.

With this API, you can:

• Scan for legal occurrences related to a individual, including court documents, rulings, and decisions from Swedish courts and authorities
• Check whether company representatives (board members, beneficial owners) are involved in legal matters
• Access legal documents and rulings for in-depth analysis
• Perform checks on individuals, if required by AML regulations, up to 6 years of history

Use case:

• A financial institution uses the Legal Information - Person API to check if a potential business partner or its board members have been involved in legal disputes or court decisions, ensuring compliance with AML regulations and reducing exposure to legal risks.
• Before awarding tenders, a municipality cross-checks vendors against Roaring's legal information API. It identifies suppliers involved in ongoing or past legal disputes, helping to flag those with potential reputational or compliance risks.
