How Legl works

Legl centralises the client lifecycle in a single platform, from initial onboarding through to final payment. Client information is collected through secure, digital journeys and submitted for automated checks such as identity verification, source of funds validation, and ongoing monitoring. All activity is logged automatically, creating a clear audit trail that law firms can review and use to demonstrate regulatory compliance.


Where to find Legl

Law firms and regulated businesses access Legl through a web browser. Clients interact with Legl through secure links shared by their firm, typically as part of onboarding, verification, or payment requests.


Permissions and access

Important information
