1. Launch Kick-Off

Roles & Responsibilities

Legl Team

  • Launch Manager: Ensures your firm is set up for success from launch to adoption and growth with Legl. Partners closely with your firm’s “Success Owner(s)” to drive adoption of existing and new functionality.

  • Customer Support: Available Monday - Friday from 9am - 6pm to answer questions, provide product or technical support, and assist with brand or admin requirements.

Your Firm

  • Success Owner: Lead the Legl launch project and ongoing adoption of new functionality. They are familiar with the Legl setup and facilitate training and internal change management.

  • Executive Sponsor: Key stakeholder providing sign-off and guidance on timelines, change management, and the scope of the Legl implementation.

Typical Launch Steps

  1. Kick-Off Call: Introduction to your CSM, alignment on your launch plan, and determination of next steps and responsibilities.

  2. Implementation: Complete firm branding, payment settings, and custom client workflows. Communicate a training and rollout plan with your team.

  3. Training: Remote video training led by your CSM to prepare users for the platform.

  4. Launch: Begin using the Legl platform, replacing any existing processes.


2. The Kick-Off Call

Agenda

  • Introduction to your CSM

  • Reconfirm objectives with Legl

  • Align on the launch plan, including timelines and dependencies

  • Determine next steps and ownership

Recommended Preparation

  • Attendees: 2x firm Success Owners, a firm Executive Sponsor, and any influential or consultative members

  • Considerations: Departments launching Legl, timelines, dependencies, roles, and responsibilities


3. Determining Your Launch Approach

The “All Out” Approach

Ideal for quick value realisation and firm-wide consistency. Suitable for firms with established internal processes or replacing existing software.

The “Phased” Approach

This approach typically suits firms who may still be re-establishing their internal processes and want to heavily incorporate feedback before a full launch. This might see firms start by launching with a “pilot” team of a limited number of users or departments, before iteratively rolling out the rest.


4. Communication

Announcing Legl to Your Firm

Communicate the following:

  • What is Legl and why is the firm adopting it

  • Which tools will be implemented

  • Expectations from everyone at the firm

Adding Legl to Client-Facing Documentation

Use templated copy for client care letters/terms of business to explain the use of Legl for secure digital identity verification, online payments, and document sharing.


5. Implementation

Implementation and Customisation

Legl’s implementation can be completed in as little as 24 hours. Key steps:

  • Setup at least one workflow

  • Confirm client-facing branding and custom settings

Implementation Checklist

  • Attend user training (Success Owner)

  • Add users to your Legl account (Success Owner)


6. User Training
