Legal Compliance redesign
We're excited to announce that Access Legal Compliance is receiving a significant user experience upgrade.
Guided by your feedback, weāre redesigning the platform with a cleaner, more modern interface that makes everything easier to navigate, from File Audits and Complaints to Undertakings and the Risk Register. The tools you use every day will feel more intuitive, helping your team work through compliance tasks faster and with greater confidence.
We'll be sharing more information as we get closer to rollout. In the meantime, please see below for a sneak peek, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to your Account Manager.

Adding a breach
A reminder about in-app support
Following our update last month, here's everything you need to raise a support case quickly and easily in Access Legal Compliance.
How to raise a support case
All support queries for Access Legal Compliance are now handled directly within the product. Simply click the Digital Assistant icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen to:
Enter a query and raise a support case if needed (support-entitled users only)
Search our knowledge base for instant answers, 24/7
View the latest product news, release notes, and newsletters
The Customer Success Portal is no longer used for new cases, however, any cases raised through the Digital Assistant will still appear there once resolved, so your records always remain intact.
This change brings everything you need into one convenient location, with no more switching between platforms. All users can access Help Centre content, while support-entitled users can raise cases as usual.
