nu:legal Counsel
Legal answers in minutes. Built like the work matters.
nu:legal Counsel is the technology behind every routine legal task on the platform. Custom-built for German legal work, by lawyers who practice it. Drafts in minutes. Trained for this.
The difference is in the work.
Platforms like ChatGPT or Claude generate a six-paragraph employment contract. Counsel generates a 60-page bilingual corporate contract, structured the way a Freshfields lawyer would structure it — because that's who built the workflow.
General-purpose tools tell you a privacy policy is “GDPR-compliant.” Counsel cross-checks against GDPR and the German BDSG, names the Verantwortliche, and flags the cookie consent setup that would get you a TTDSG fine.
Generic tools answer the question. Counsel answers it the way a specialist would — with the right detail, in the right structure, ready for the work you actually need to do.
Why Counsel is built differently.
Lawyer-built workflows.
Every Counsel workflow is built by a practicing lawyer in employment law or data privacy — not adapted from generic prompts, not bolted onto a general-purpose model.
Trained for the German system.
KSchG, BGB, AGG, BDSG. Counsel knows the framework you actually have to comply with — because the lawyers who built it work inside it every day.
Continuously benchmarked.
Every release, we test Counsel's output against expert legal work — and against platforms like ChatGPT or Claude. The tool gets sharper every time.
Transparent reasoning.
You see what Counsel checked, why it made each call, and what it flagged for human attention. No black box.
Knows when to stop.
When a situation is too complex or sensitive for the tool alone, Counsel surfaces it clearly and offers specialist review. We'd rather refuse than handle it badly.
The kind of work Counsel handles every day.
