In Practice

Practical Examples from Legal

Typical scenarios — how we implement solutions in real projects.

1

Law Firm with Digital File Management

A medium-sized law firm migrated from paper files to a fully digital DMS. We implemented an encrypted document management system, integrated the law firm software, and trained all employees. Result: 60% time savings in file management.

2

Notary with E-Justice Connection

A notary needed connection to electronic land registry and commercial register systems. We implemented secure interfaces, electronic signatures, and automated workflows for electronic legal transactions.

3

Business Law Firm with Multi-Office Infrastructure

A business law firm with offices in Zurich, Basel, and Geneva needed a central, secure IT infrastructure. We connected all locations via VPN, implemented a central DMS, and enabled secure home office for all lawyers.

4

Boutique Firm with Cloud-First Strategy

A small specialty firm wanted to go completely cloud-based. We migrated all systems to a Swiss private cloud, implemented encrypted data storage, and enabled mobile work from anywhere.
