AI back office for law firms
AI for your firm: your data stays in the EU, every draft is released by a person.
Alois is the industry configuration of our AI back office for law firms. Inbound mail and client communication are triaged, deadlines and urgency are detected, and reply drafts are prepared. Every draft is released by a human before it is sent.
- Hosting in the EU
- EU language models
- Release before every dispatch
What Alois takes on in the firm
AI inbox for the firm
Email and scanned mail come together in a single inbox. Alois understands each item, assigns it to the matter and prepares it for handling, instead of manual review.
Detect deadlines and urgency
Alois flags deadline-relevant correspondence and urgent items. Your team keeps an overview of the inbox and makes the decision; the AI handles the groundwork.
Reply drafts for release
Based on your templates and files, Alois drafts fitting responses for client communication. The attorney reviews, adjusts and releases. Nothing goes out without human control.
Client data stays in the EU
Alois runs in EU hosting with EU language models. On request we prepare operation on your own hardware. We agree the requirements arising from § 203 StGB with your firm.
Professional secrecy under § 203 StGB
A data processing agreement alone does not cover the German attorney-client privilege. That is why we agree with your firm before the start how Alois is operated and which agreements this requires.
EU hosting, own hardware on request
Alois runs in a data centre in the EU. On request we prepare operation on your own hardware.
EU language models
The inbox and client communication are processed by language models from the EU.
Release principle
Every draft is reviewed by a human before it is sent.
Typical use cases in the firm

Frequently asked questions from law firms
May an attorney use ChatGPT?
For matter-related content this is delicate: entering confidential information into a US cloud service risks breaching the attorney-client privilege under § 203 StGB. Alois is meant as an alternative: EU hosting, EU language models and a release before every dispatch. We agree with you before the start how Alois is operated in your firm.
Does a data processing agreement cover attorney-client privilege?
A data processing agreement governs GDPR-compliant processing on behalf of a controller. On its own it does not lift the criminally sanctioned duty of confidentiality under § 203 StGB. That is why we clarify together before the start which agreements and which form of operation your firm needs.
Where is client data processed?
Alois runs in EU hosting, and the inbox and client communication are processed by language models from the EU. On request we prepare operation on your own hardware in your firm.
Is the solution GDPR- and §203-compliant?
Alois brings EU language models, EU hosting and a release principle where every draft is reviewed by a human before it is sent. On request we prepare operation on your own hardware. We agree the concrete setup with your firm.
