Legal and Tax
Use AI. And keep client confidentiality intact.
We draw the line cleanly: anything touching client data runs on your side, research may go to the cloud. And we secure your IT to the standard your professional obligations require.
What is different in your industry
For holders of professional confidentiality obligations, passing on client data is not a question of data protection alone, it is a question of professional law. Every provider and every tool has to fit that, AI included. This applies to law firms and tax advisors regulated under German professional law.
So we classify first instead of forbidding wholesale. Anything that touches client data runs on your own infrastructure, without a network connection if you want it that way. Research, case law and general knowledge go through the cloud, because that is where they are faster and better. The line between the two is defined and enforced, not left to the individual case.
What applies to you. And what we do about it.
Professional law decides where client data may run. We build and operate the infrastructure so the answer is always the same: on your side.
