Overview
Ongoing monitoring allows you to track changes to business clients throughout your relationship with them. Monitoring can be enabled automatically for new businesses or manually for existing business clients in Legl.
Before you start
Before enabling ongoing monitoring, ensure that:
You have permissions to run company reports or sanctions screenings
How to enable ongoing monitoring for business clients
Enable ongoing monitoring for new business clients
Ongoing monitoring is automatically enabled when the first relevant check is completed:
Create a company report for the business client.
Company information monitoring is automatically turned on once the first company report is created.Run a business sanctions screening.
Sanctions monitoring is automatically turned on once the first sanctions screening is completed.
Once enabled, Legl will begin monitoring the business for relevant changes.
ℹ️ Further guidance
See the below guide for full steps on how to run a company report and sanctions screening:
Enable ongoing monitoring for existing business clients
Go to Engage in Legl.
Select Businesses and search for the relevant client.
Open the business client record.
Select the Monitoring tab.
Use the toggles to enable Company information monitoring and/or Sanctions monitoring.
ℹ️ Important
When you enable monitoring for an existing business, Legl will create a new company or sanctions report to ensure no changes were missed while monitoring was off.
Additionally, if monitoring is re-enabled for a company, a new company report will be generated, and the associated costs will apply. This ensures that any changes during the disabled period are captured.
Enable ongoing monitoring in bulk
If you need to enable ongoing monitoring for multiple business clients:
Contact [email protected] and request bulk enablement
The Support team will assist with enabling monitoring across multiple clients

Important information
Ongoing monitoring only begins after the first company report or sanctions screening is completed.
Enabling monitoring for existing clients always creates a new report.
Monitoring updates must be reviewed by a firm user; Legl does not automatically refresh reports unless selected during review.
Re-running a company report as part of a review will incur a charge.
Disabling monitoring for checks older than 12 months can help streamline compliance efforts by focusing on relevant and recent data.
Re-enabling monitoring will incur the full company report fee for the newly generated report, ensuring the most current information is captured.
