Law firms
AI for contracts and briefs. Client confidentiality stays intact.
Client confidentiality is not only protected by professional rules: in Germany, a breach is a criminal offence under § 203 StGB. Draft contracts, briefs, due diligence reports and client data must not reach third parties. At the same time, contract analysis, research and legal tech are fundamentally changing the profession.
The challenge
Why AI has hardly been permitted here so far.
Relevant regulations
- § 203 StGB
- Client confidentiality
- Art. 28 GDPR
- 01Under § 203 StGB, breaching client confidentiality by disclosing data is a criminal offence.
- 02Contracts contain company names, trade secrets, purchase prices and terms.
- 03Due diligence documents in M&A transactions require the highest confidentiality.
- 04A data breach can weaken the client’s position in proceedings.

Nothing changes for your staff.
Your software calls the AI as usual. Anonix sits in between, replaces the personal data and puts it back into the response. Integration consists of two changed lines: API address and API key. This works with OpenAI®, Claude® and Gemini® as well as with self-hosted models.
