Legal Tech

Document automation is used in the creation and management of contracts, pleadings and other suitable documents, adapted to the specific individual case. This applies in particular to model contracts in Corporate/M&A and Employment and in pleadings and statements of defence in class actions.

Intelligent tools that draw on algorithms and artificial intelligence and, as such, learn and accelerate working steps, make it possible to focus on complex facts and individual client support. Legal chatbots can also be put to beneficial effect for repetitive issues for instance.

In many client matters, the analysis and evaluation of unstructured mass data plays an important part, for example in compliance, investigation or antitrust proceedings. Here we use eDiscovery solutions across the board, which make it possible to handle the processing of large quantities of data in compliance with data protection requirements, while at the same time being crucial for quality management, efficiency and risk management.

Collecting factual information with multi-dimensional interlinking from different sources and systems in a clear manner compliant with data protection, processing it, and organising it in work streams so that it can then be used in our processes has been very time-consuming up to now. We have optimised this process with a specially developed, customisable legal tech tool, for which we received the PMN Management Award 2020 in the category Legal Tech.

We use a variety of innovative tools: These include IT tools that support the storing of factual information as well as automated notification of deadlines in case work.

Highly intelligent pattern recognition technologies that learn from the interactions between lawyers and documents also minimise repetitive activities by comparing contract clauses, simplify work steps and support client processing.

As part of our Gleiss Lutz Academy, we also provide our lawyers with targeted training on legal tech topics. One important element of this training is learning how to work with a “no code automation platform”. In this way, we simplify the use of legal tech tools and train our lawyers’ understanding and handling of digitalisation topics.

In the areas of strategic approach, focus and time management, we rely on professional legal project management in our client work so as to always maintain an overview and to be able to assess the status quo in the best possible way.

Our expertise is a key factor in our success as a law firm. To bundle this knowledge and make it available to all employees, we use our knowledge management system, which goes beyond a pure information management system. This means that we are optimally prepared for all challenges.
