What is the Legl and NebuLAW integration?

An overview of how Legl connects with NebuLAW by Dye and Durham to run KYC and KYB checks without leaving your platform.

Written by Shanté Simpson

Legl is integrated directly into your NebuLAW platform, which is built on Salesforce. This means you can run Know Your Client (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) checks without switching between systems.

The integration is API-based, so checks can be initiated, tracked, and reviewed from within your existing NebuLAW workflow.

ℹ️ Tip

NebuLAW is a legal practice management system built on top of Salesforce. If you are using NebuLAW, you are working within a Salesforce environment that has been customised specifically for law firms. Legl connects to NebuLAW via the Legl API, which has been integrated by the NebuLAW team. NebuLAW is the UK product name. The same product is known as Unity in Australia.


What this integration covers

This integration supports the following modules:

  • KYC (Know Your Client): initiated from within NebuLAW, with results returned to the client record in NebuLAW and to Legl

  • KYB (Know Your Business): initiated from within NebuLAW, with results returned to Legl and a link back from NebuLAW

  • Pay (Payment requests): not available in NebuLAW

ℹ️ Important

While some results are returned directly into NebuLAW, we recommend reviewing the full KYC and KYB reports within the Legl platform for the most complete view. You will receive a notification from Legl when a report is ready.


How the integration works at a high level

The integration runs over the Legl API, which has been built into NebuLAW by the NebuLAW team.

At a high level:

  • A user initiates a KYC or KYB check from within a client or matter record in NebuLAW

  • Client or business details are passed to Legl automatically. No manual data entry is required

  • Legl runs the check in the background

  • Results are returned to NebuLAW and are also available in Legl for full review


When you would use this integration

Firms typically use the Legl and NebuLAW integration:

  • During client onboarding to verify the identity of individual clients

  • When verifying the identity and background of a business entity, including sanctions screening

  • When compliance teams need a single workflow that combines practice management and identity verification

  • When firms want to keep client records and compliance reports aligned in their existing Salesforce-based system


Where to find this in NebuLAW

The Legl KYC and KYB options are accessible from within client and matter records in NebuLAW. The exact placement depends on how your firm has configured the Salesforce environment.

ℹ️ Important

NebuLAW is built on Salesforce, which is highly configurable. If you want to change how or where results are displayed, or adjust the workflow, this requires changes to the Salesforce configuration and should be done with the support of the Dye and Durham team. The Legl API connection itself is also configurable by Dye and Durham.


Key things to be aware of

  • Pay (payment requests) is not available through the NebuLAW integration

  • KYB results are reviewed in Legl, not within NebuLAW. NebuLAW provides a link and a summary, but for full review, compliance sign-off, and audit purposes, always access the report through Legl

  • Configuration of the NebuLAW interface is owned by Dye and Durham. Legl provides the API connection

  • Legl provides automation and identity verification, but compliance decisions remain the responsibility of the firm
