Legl
Client onboarding, payments and AML workflow in one place, with a compliance-shaped audit trail that our reviewers can follow.
Tier C — the highest usability score in onboarding, and the audit trail is the reason it beats its peers here. Verify the retention and deletion settings against your own DPA expectations before you route client documents through it.
What it does
AML checks, client onboarding, engagement letters, payments and matter-opening workflows.
Where it holds up
- Onboarding workflow with a followable audit trail
- Combines AML checks with engagement and payments
- Fee-earners actually use it — adoption is the hard part
Where it doesn't
- Retention and deletion require explicit configuration
- Per-matter economics on low volumes
- Less depth than specialist verification vendors

What the vendor's own material and terms say — and where the answer was not published, we say so rather than guess.
| location | UK-hosted |

What it costs, realistically
Subscription with per-matter components.
Who it suits

Firms needing forensic-grade verification only.
How we assessed it
Documentation review; audit-trail design assessed from published material.
