Coming soon for legal teams

duely for legal firms is opening in phases

Legal practices face tranche 2 obligations too, but legal workflows bring additional complexity around privilege, confidentiality, trust structures, and matter handling. We are opening legal support in phases and inviting early access interest now.

Why legal is different

Legal practices have compliance requirements that standard tools aren't built to handle. We're building legal-specific workflows because the differences matter.

Legal professional privilege

AML/CTF obligations and privilege create tension that compliance workflows must navigate carefully. The boundary affects what can be disclosed, reported, and exported.

Confidentiality in document handling

Law firms handle sensitive client documents with strict confidentiality expectations. Evidence capture and export must respect those boundaries.

Complex trust and entity structures

Multi-layered corporate structures, trust arrangements, and cross-border entities are common. Beneficial owner identification requires a systematic, documented approach.

Approval and access controls

Partner sign-off requirements, matter-level access controls, and ethical wall considerations add complexity that needs to be addressed at the workflow level.

What's available now and what's coming

The core compliance platform is live. Legal-specific workflows are opening in phases — each item below is tagged honestly so you know exactly what your firm gets today versus what's still in development.

Matter-First Compliance

Available now

Each client engagement becomes its own compliance unit. Whether it's a property conveyance, commercial acquisition, or trust administration, duely creates separate Matters with independent scoping, risk assessment, and evidence trails — reflecting how legal practice actually works.

  • Separate Matters for each designated service engagement
  • Independent compliance lifecycle per engagement
  • Service-specific scoping for different legal practice areas
  • Full audit trail per matter, not just per client

Entity Structure Mapping

Available now

Systematically map complex client structures — companies, trusts, partnerships, and their interrelationships. Identify beneficial owners and controllers with a guided workflow that documents your reasoning at every step, even when information is difficult to obtain.

  • Map multi-layered corporate and trust structures
  • Identify beneficial owners using 25% ownership threshold tracking
  • Record controllers, trustees, directors, and appointors
  • Document reasoning when ownership information cannot be obtained

Trust Account TTR Capture

Available now

When cash receipts at or above the $10,000 TTR threshold come through your trust account, your team flags the transaction in duely and the structured TTR capture workflow opens — with all evidence linked back to the relevant matter.

  • TTR capture workflow for trust account cash receipts at threshold
  • Matter-linked transaction records for compliance evidence
  • Structured AUSTRAC-aligned TTR data capture
  • Evidence trails connecting trust account movements to specific matters

Audit-Ready Evidence Packs

Available now

Generate tamper-evident evidence packs for any matter at any time. Every compliance decision, verification result, and risk assessment is captured in a versioned snapshot, with role-based Standard and AMLCO-only Sensitive profiles.

  • Versioned evidence packs with per-version SHA-256 integrity hashing
  • Two profiles by role — Standard (default) and AMLCO-only Sensitive
  • Complete decision trail: decision, rationale, timestamp, and approver
  • Export-ready snapshots for regulatory review or internal audit

Privilege-Aware Workflows

On the roadmap

Legal professional privilege handling — including a privilege assessment gate before SMR submission and matter-level privilege flags — is in development. We're building this carefully because the boundary between AML/CTF disclosure and privilege is non-trivial.

  • LPP assessment gate before SMR submission (in development)
  • Privilege flags on matter records to guide workflow behaviour (in development)
  • Structured documentation of privilege considerations in compliance decisions (in development)
  • Separate handling for matters where privilege and compliance obligations intersect (in development)

Dual Risk Assessment & Pre-Commencement CDD

On the roadmap

Legal-specific risk patterns — dual risk assessment (firm-level plus matter-level) and a pre-commencement CDD workflow — are on the roadmap. The general matter-level risk wizard and ECDD workflow are available now, but the legal-specific calibration is still being developed.

  • Dual risk assessment combining firm-level and matter-level views (in development)
  • Pre-commencement CDD workflow tuned for legal practice (in development)
  • Legal-calibrated risk factors with senior partner approval routing (in development)
  • Available now — general matter-level risk wizard with automatic ECDD triggers

What you can do now

While legal-specific workflows are in development, there are practical steps your firm can take today.

Assess your readiness

Take the 2-minute assessment to understand whether tranche 2 is likely to apply to your firm and where the gaps are.

Start your AML program

Get your AML/CTF program and governance planning started. Having the program in place before legal workflows launch puts your firm ahead.

Join the update list

Join the legal update list for product releases, launch news, and optional conversations about your firm's specific use case.

Get early access to legal workflows

Priority updates on legal workflow releases, optional conversations about your firm's use case, and no claim that full legal support is already live.
