Issue 01 / 2026From Montabaur · DACH-wideA studio for law firm integration

Tools are there.
Connections are missing.

DATEV, M365, DMS, beA, RA-MICRO — every firm owns the stack. We build the missing bridges between them so handoffs, documents and follow-ups flow automatically. Self-hosted, GDPR-compliant, operable by your team.

§ 014–6 weeks until the first workflow runs in production.
§ 0220 firms analysed in our digital benchmark.
§ 03No vendor lock-in. You own the workflows and documentation.

§ IThree Patterns

Your tools work.
The spaces between them don't.

We analysed 20 firms. The same three friction points show up everywhere — regardless of size, stack, or practice area.

01

Data typed three times.

Client data travels by copy-paste from email to DMS to DATEV. Every system has its own state — none are reliably aligned.

Intake · Copy-Paste · Drift
02

Follow-ups rely on individuals.

Whether documents get requested, deadlines tracked, or clients informed depends on one person remembering. Holiday equals standstill.

Memory-Reliance · Ops-Risk
03

Nobody sees the full status.

Which case is waiting on what? What's missing, what's overdue? Without a cross-system picture, idle time and clarification ping-pong emerge.

Status-Blindness · Mail-Ping-Pong
§ IIMethod

No big project.
A clean cut through the bottleneck.

Firms don't need a transformation show. They need one resilient live process — and the confidence that it won't hinge on the consultant.

01

Analysis

We find where manual work lives between your systems and which process has the highest leverage — not via a discovery call, but through a focused workflow check.

  • Process walk with assistants
  • System map & break points
  • Bottleneck prioritisation
02

Integration

We build the connection: data flows automatically, handoffs run rule-based, status is visible everywhere. Productive after 4–6 weeks, not 6 months.

  • n8n + M365 Graph + APIs
  • Owner, status, escalation
  • Test on real data
03

Live operation

The workflow runs on your stack. Self-hosted, GDPR-compliant, fully documented — handover-ready for assistants, back office, or a different vendor.

  • Runbook & monitoring
  • Team training
  • Monthly review, optional

§ IVVoices

What clients say about the operative side.

< 12 h to the first qualified response.

Intake automation clearly accelerated our first response. Status is transparent now — noticeably fewer enquiries slip through.

Partner·Employment law firm · Europe

Three clear status stages instead of mail ping-pong.

Monthly planning, AI copy and publishing in one workflow — including approval. Social is now predictable without starting from zero each week.

Partner·Business law firm · EU

A visible state for assistants and partners.

We finally know which enquiries are open and who owns them. The support team saves real time because status queries disappear.

Office Manager·IP boutique · International

Checklists and documents without Excel.

Client onboarding is now automatic: checklists, document requests, deadline setting. We used to manage this in tables.

Describe the one bottleneck
that costs you the most.

We usually respond within 24 hours with a concrete assessment — or a precise follow-up question. No sales funnel, no mandatory discovery call.
