FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions that come up most often in introductory conversations. If yours isn't here, just ask.

What is CEAVEO LEGALinhouse?

An integrated platform for legal management in SMEs: matter management, contract management, deadlines, correspondence, documents, receivables and AI assistance — all in one application, GDPR-compliant, with data location Germany.

An additional data protection management module (DPMS) for record of processing, DPIA, DPA management and incident response is in planning as an optional add-on — currently not yet included in the platform scope.

Who is LEGALinhouse for?

For SMEs with 1 to 200 employees, for small in-house legal departments (1-5 qualified lawyers) and for external counsel with SME clients. Three detailed profiles are under Use Cases. We sell strictly B2B (per §14 BGB).

Does the AI hallucinate case references or court decisions?

Structurally no. The AI can only cite from a verified case law database (generation-time constraint), and every citation is also validated against the database after generation (post-hoc validation). If a case reference appears in the output, it exists — or it is explicitly marked as unverified.

Full explanation: Concept · Case-citation protection.

Where is my data stored and processed?

All client data is processed and stored in a datacenter in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. There is no data flow to third countries — also for AI inference, which runs on a platform in the EU region Frankfurt. More under Security · Data location.

How is the AI GDPR-compliant?

Before any text touches the AI, it runs through a 3-phase anonymization: pseudonymization of 15 entity types (names, addresses, IBAN, case numbers, etc.) on our own servers in Germany → AI processing on a platform in the EU region Frankfurt → re-personalization. The language model sees no identifying data.

Does LEGALinhouse replace my lawyer?

No. LEGALinhouse is a productivity tool, not a legal service under the German Legal Services Act (RDG). For court proceedings, strategic decisions or complex specialist questions you still need legal counsel — LEGALinhouse makes the preparation faster and the matter files better. More under Concept · RDG and Limits.

What does LEGALinhouse cost?

During the beta phase we set up access individually. The pricing model for general availability will be published before the GA release in June 2026. Our pricing reflects a per-employee cost structure, not enterprise license economics.

When is LEGALinhouse generally available?

LEGALinhouse is currently in beta. The planned general availability (GA) is June 2026. Beta customers stay in the system and transition seamlessly into GA.

How is LEGALinhouse different from a general AI chatbot?

A general AI chatbot has no legal knowledge model, no verified case law database, no GDPR anonymization of your client data and no RDG-compliant architecture with draft-status enforcement. LEGALinhouse has all of that built in — and is additionally a complete legal management platform, not just a chat.

Can I take my data with me?

Yes. LEGALinhouse offers data export — client data can be exported in a structured format. There is no vendor lock-in on data. We are happy to provide details on request.

Can I integrate LEGALinhouse with other tools?

LEGALinhouse has built-in integrations with key components — including Deutsche Post INTERNETMARKE for franking. Standard interfaces (calendar export, data export, DPA templates) follow standard paths. Specific integrations we discuss individually — get in touch.

Which languages and jurisdictions does the AI support?

Primarily German law with 19 German legal specialists. Additional specialist profiles cover international jurisdictions — over 140 profiles in total. The UI is bilingual (German / English).

Do you offer training for my team?

Yes. Beta customers receive direct onboarding with the product team. For general availability we are building self-learning materials and optional training — details closer to the release.

Who is behind LEGALinhouse?

LEGALinhouse is a product of CEAVEO UG (haftungsbeschränkt), based in Eckernförde, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. CEAVEO builds AI-powered software for SMEs. More at ceaveo.com.
