For lawyers

In order to register, we only need your name and e-mail address and for your lawyer profile your jurisdiction and practice area. All other information is voluntary.

You have full control over your matter list and can change, delete or unpublish matters at any time.

To have matters confirmed by your client (optional), you do not need to provide us with details about your client. You yourself send a link to your client. The client then gives his contact details directly to us and decides for himself whether and which of his information may be published. After confirmation, we delete all contact details.

For clients

When you confirm a matter as a client, we ask you to provide us with the following information: business e-mail address, name, company and position.

We use your business email address to validate that you work for the client. Your email will not be published.

Name, company and position will only be published if you explicitly consent to this for each individual piece of information.

If we cannot validate from the e-mail address whether you work for the client, we can use the name, company and position for a plausibility check.

Immediately after validation, i.e. usually 72 hours after your matter confirmation, we delete all your data (unless you have explicitly agreed to the publication of individual details).

You do not need a user account to confirm matters.
