Legal tech is growing fast. But a changing sector presents new challenges for law firms as they look to adopt the smartest possible technology solution – and that’s where all-in-one partners like Checkboard stand out from the crowd.
According to new data from the government-backed industry advocacy group Lawtech UK, investment in legal tech has reached new heights [2]. In the first six months of 2025, 27 legal tech firms raised an astonishing £117 million, with an average deal size of £4.3 million.
The sector’s incredible growth speaks to increasing demand for smart, modern solutions to legal challenges. Firms are now looking for platforms that help them become faster and more efficient, manage more matters, and grow their client base.
It’s no coincidence, then, that legal tech is dominated by B2B. Documents and contracts, risk, and matter management are all key areas of growth as firms look to digitalise their operations, manage compliance, and reduce risk.
But with growth comes fragmentation. Law firms looking for a variety of solutions might find themselves confronted with dozens of platforms performing dozens of different functions. That’s why forward-thinking solicitors need to seek out a partner that helps them supercharge every step of their legal onboarding.
That’s where Checkboard steps in.
The complete solution
Checkboard is ahead of the curve. With years of experience serving law firms, Checkboard is a trusted name when it comes to compliance and onboarding across different legal professions.
What makes Checkboard different is that it hasn’t just created a smart solution in one area, but across the entire legal onboarding [3] and AML and KYC compliance workflow.
Here’s what sets Checkboard apart:
- Speed – Checkboard reduces your due diligence time by as much as 80% by creating faster, more streamlined workflows
- Transparency – You get full oversight of the entire workflow, and clients are in control of their own onboarding
- Flexibility – With easy APIs, you can integrate Checkboard with your existing workflows and platforms
How does it work?
- Clients get sent a secure link to download the Checkboard app
- They’re guided to upload all the relevant documents and input all the important information to complete their checks and verification
- An actionable report is sent straight to you, highlighting inconsistencies, errors, and red flags
Better compliance
And what’s the impact? Better compliance, faster workflows, and more transparency for you and the regulators.
But more importantly, Checkboard is an all-in-one system that guides you through the entire onboarding process, from ID checks to compliance fees. It means you don’t have to shop around for different platforms for each part of the workflow.
Adopting an all-in-one platform makes it easier to reduce risk across the entire onboarding workflow. This helps you save time on compliance that can be better spent growing the business, onboarding new clients, and building stronger client relationships.
