60% of all client due diligence information requests are returned within a single day. This allows fee earners to get started on their matters faster, aligning the needs of both the compliance team and the fee earners they support, and encouraging adoption of the technology. Naturally there was a change management process going from having no firm-wide approach to client due diligence, to introducing a technological solution to facilitate it, but the change management process with Legl was a “seamless” one.

Legl understands the problems facing law. It’s why, when I first looked at the platform, I knew exactly what it was and what it could do for our firm. The fact it continues to do more of what we need with each passing year is a testament to how you get innovation right!
