Overview
When you make a payment through Legl, your payment details are protected using industry-standard security controls. Legl uses Adyen, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment provider—the highest level of payment security certification available.
Card information is entered directly into Adyen's secure payment pages, meaning sensitive card data never passes through or is stored by Legl or your law firm.
Why payments are handled this way
Payments are processed using this approach to ensure security, compliance, and data protection:
To meet PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) requirements
To ensure sensitive card details are handled only by approved payment providers
To reduce the risk of card data exposure or misuse
To protect both clients and law firms during online payments
How this keeps your payment secure
At a high level, Legl protects your payment in the following ways:
PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment provider
All payments are processed by Adyen, which holds PCI-DSS Level 1 certification (the highest security standard in the payment industry, requiring annual on-site audits and processing over 6 million transactions annually).
Card data never touches Legl
When you enter your card details, you're typing directly into Adyen's secure payment pages. Your full card number is never transmitted to, processed by, or stored in Legl's systems.
Secure, encrypted connections
All payment pages and data transfers use encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections to protect your information in transit.
Strong Customer Authentication (3D Secure)
Additional verification steps, such as approving the payment through your banking app or entering a one-time code, provide an added layer of security.
Fraud prevention controls
Adyen's fraud detection systems monitor transactions for suspicious activity, providing an additional layer of protection.
What Legl and your law firm can (and cannot) see
All card data handling is managed entirely by Adyen. Law firms receive confirmation that payment was successful, along with basic transaction details—not your card information.
When this applies
This security approach applies whenever you:
Pay by card through Legl
Use mobile wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay
Complete a payment using Legl’s hosted payment pages
Important information
Important:
Legl cannot access, retrieve, or reuse your card details after a payment is made. If you have questions about accepted payment methods or payment availability, please contact your law firm directly.
For more detailed information, your law firm may refer to Legl’s PCI guidance and payment provider registration guides, which explain responsibilities in more detail.
