Legl

A London-founded software company that helps law firms manage client onboarding, compliance and payments.

About Legl

Legl makes software for law firms. Before a law firm can act for a new client it has to check who they are and collect forms, which is called onboarding, and it must also check for risks such as fraud or money laundering (known as KYC, short for know your customer). Legl turns those steps into a digital process, so a client can complete them online instead of by endless emails. It also helps firms collect payments and see patterns such as when clients tend to pay.

Legl was founded by Julia Salasky and launched in October 2019. She had earlier founded CrowdJustice, a website that lets people raise money for legal cases. Running that taught her that law firms could modernise how they run their business, not only how they deliver legal advice. In her words, a lot of legal tech focuses on making legal services better, but Legl saw an opportunity to make the delivery better. Its headquarters is in London, and the company is now remote-first, with staff across the UK.

Legl's careers page says it wants to bring the legal industry into the 21st century by making it simpler for firms to take on clients, easier for people to pay for legal services and easier to access the law. It talks about helping law firms work more efficiently so they can spend more time on client experience.

Its platform includes a no-code builder (no programming needed) for onboarding steps that can be tailored by client, type of law or level of risk, an audit trail that records what was done, payment collection and links to the case management systems that firms already use. A report from around March 2021 said it was used by 12 of the UK's top 200 law firms and had around 100 clients in total, though that figure is likely out of date.

Legl describes its culture as collaborative, ambitious, diverse and agile, and says it is not driven by egos. Its values are Agile, Ambition and Collaboration. Benefits it lists include share options, 30 days of paid holiday, flexible hours, a learning budget of £1,000 a year and in-person team offsites twice a year. These are the company's own claims. Its pages list teams in customer success, engineering, marketing and sales. The roles we saw were for experienced people, and we found no graduate or apprenticeship scheme (as at 2026), so check its jobs page.
