Bristol, UK – 3rd February 2026 – Barcan+Kirby LLP, one of the South West’s leading law firms known for delivering high-quality legal services across Bristol and South Gloucestershire, today announced the successful firm-wide rollout of Legl’s client intelligence and client lifecycle management platform. This strategic digital initiative positions Barcan+Kirby alongside a growing cohort of leading firms in Bristol and the South West that have partnered with Legl to transform client engagement and operational efficiency.

The Legl platform introduces streamlined, firm-branded client-facing workflows that empower clients to complete identity verification, submit forms, and sign documents with speed and ease. Behind the scenes, Legl’s integrated automation and compliance tools provide Barcan+Kirby with enhanced visibility and control over AML and regulatory obligations while reducing manual workload and internal process complexity.

A cornerstone of the partnership has been Legl’s consultative approach. During the selection and onboarding phase, every department and team at Barcan+Kirby participated in comprehensive process-mapping sessions. These collaborative workshops helped align people, process, and technology, enabling the firm to redesign and optimise critical workflows ahead of launch.

The platform is now positioned to enable Barcan+Kirby to accelerate the onboarding of over 500 new clients per month, improving responsiveness and enhancing the overall client experience.

Why Barcan+Kirby Chose Legl

Barcan+Kirby selected Legl for its ability to deliver deep integration with existing practice management systems, robust compliance capabilities, and a unified platform that replaces disparate legacy tools with a single, cohesive solution. Legl’s expertise and trusted partnership throughout the deployment ensured the firm’s teams were supported at every stage.
