Your team decides with confidence,
when the knowledge is within reach.
When the lawyer leaves, the knowledge leaves. When the contracts team turns over, the learning starts again. When a compliance reform hits, the first point of reference is missing. There’s an alternative.
The cost of knowledge nobody can find.
The most expensive working hours are the ones spent searching for what the company already knows. The finding holds across decades and sources.
of the workweek is what knowledge workers spend searching for internal information or tracking down the colleagues who have it.
McKinsey Global Institute, The Social Economy, 2012search time per employee per week, without and with structured knowledge management. Almost half the searching disappears.
Bloomfire, The Value of Enterprise Intelligence, 2025. Vendor study, over 10,000 respondents across 115 companies If HP knew what HP knows, we would be three times as profitable.
From knowledge to advantage.
Structured contract knowledge, accessible and maintained: it speeds up negotiations, cuts the cost of mistakes, and stays in the company even when individuals leave. Not an appendix to the mandate, but infrastructure that grows with your business.
Contract logic
Which clauses apply and why, which pitfalls in which market, what room to move in which negotiation.
Clause library
Maintained building blocks for supply, service, Standard Terms, and framework contracts. Versioned by jurisdiction and product.
Playbooks
Negotiation playbooks and escalation paths. For your contract managers, sales, and procurement teams.
Maintenance
Updates on case-law changes, reforms, new model contract clauses. Quarterly or event-based.
Four kinds of questions, four kinds of pages.
Knowledge platforms rarely fail on content. They fail on structure. Every page answers exactly one kind of question. The principle behind it, Diátaxis, sorts content along two axes: practice or knowledge, onboarding or day-to-day. Four fields, four kinds of pages.
“Teach me.”
Getting started Tutorial
The first contract check with the playbook, step by step.
“How do I do this?”
Guides How-to
Defect found: give notice without delay, with a model letter.
“Why is it like this?”
Background Explanation
Why excluding the CISG across the board is often the worse choice.
“What applies?”
Reference
Clause library with agreed positions, German and English.
Four steps to a running platform.
Not a megaproject: a clear path. Every phase ends with a visible result.
- 01
Discovery
Contract landscape, recurring questions, conversations with procurement, sales, and legal. The result is a prioritized topic plan.
- 02
Build
Structure, playbooks, clause library, how-to guides. In your corporate design, in German and English.
- 03
Launch
I train your teams on the live system. Feedback from the first weeks flows straight back into the content.
- 04
Maintenance
Case law, reforms, new clauses: the content stays current, quarterly and event-driven.
Build and maintenance run as flat fees. No hourly billing, no open flank in the budget. A platform for a listed corporation is currently taking shape on exactly this pattern.
AI makes answers cheap. Not correct.
Any company can rent a capable language model today—the models are becoming interchangeable. What no model brings along is what only your company knows: your contracts, your positions, your limits.
Anyone can rent a model. Nobody can rent your knowledge.
An AI assistant without that foundation still answers, just wrongly. That is why the platform is built machine-readable from day one: every page that helps your procurement team today is the foundation on which your internal AI assistant answers correctly tomorrow.
Other law firms sell hours.
I build infrastructure.
What the platform is not.
Not a legal database
Legal databases are written for lawyers. This platform is for the people who negotiate contracts: procurement, sales, project leads. In their language.
Not an empty wiki
Generic repositories decay because nobody owns them professionally. Here, a specialist lawyer curates, with a maintenance commitment.
Not a mandate with an end date
A legal opinion answers one question and gets filed away. The platform answers the next hundred, because it grows.
Frequently asked questions.
-
01 Where does the platform run?
As a dedicated instance for your company on European infrastructure, accessed through your own single sign-on. No shared SaaS, no mandatory US cloud.
-
02 What about data protection?
Before go-live, I sign a data processing agreement with you under Article 28 GDPR. Responsibilities are cleanly separated; your content remains your content.
-
03 Who maintains the content?
I do. Quarterly as part of the maintenance fee, and event-driven when reforms or new case law land. Your team asks questions and gives feedback; it does not have to maintain anything.
-
04 Which languages?
German and English, in full. Translation is part of the service, not your project.
-
05 What does it cost?
A flat setup fee scoped to the build and an ongoing maintenance flat fee. Both are fixed before we start. The concrete quote follows the discovery phase.
-
06 How fast is the system usable?
That depends on the cut. A focused start with one area of law and one team is live within a few months. You get the realistic plan after discovery.
What’s part of the whole.
Knowledge Management is the second stage of the system. Advice comes before it, training comes after. Three pillars, one mechanism.
- Legal Advice. International contracts and Standard Terms. More on legal advice
- Knowledge Management. Here on this page. Contract logic, structured, accessible, maintained.
- Training. Your team applies what came out of the advice. More on training
