What specialist review actually means.

When you add Expert Review to a piece of work on nu:legal, here's what happens:

A specialist takes the work.

A practicing employment law or data privacy lawyer — at least 5 years of experience, personally vetted by our founder — picks up the file.

They review it the way they'd review their own.

They read the situation, check the draft against German practice, flag what needs adjustment, and rework anything that doesn't hold up.

They sign off.

Their name, license, and expertise go on the work. They're professionally accountable for the advice they give.

You get it back in 24–48 hours.

Faster than a firm. Same level of professional protection.

The moments worth adding it.

Expert Review is the right call when:

The stakes are high.

A senior hire's contract. A contested Kündigung. A major commercial agreement.

There's special protection involved.

Terminations during Elternzeit or long-term illness. Sensitive data processing. Regulated industries.

It could be challenged.

Performance disputes. Cross-border arrangements. Anything that might end up in court.

The asymmetry is obvious.

When the cost of being wrong is much higher than the cost of being right, add it.

For everything else — routine contracts, standard policies, formal warnings with clear documentation — Counsel alone is built to handle it well. We'll tell you when it isn't enough.

The legal protection you'd get from a firm.

When a specialist signs off through Expert Review, they're professionally accountable for the advice they give — to you, the customer.

This is the same legal accountability you'd get walking into a law firm. Their license. Their professional standing. Their advice on the line.

We don't carry that liability ourselves — no software does, including the tools your current lawyer uses. What we do is make professional accountability faster, easier, and more affordable to access.

Who actually reviews your work.

Every specialist on nu:legal is a practicing lawyer in employment law or data privacy with at least 5 years of experience.

Each one is personally reviewed by nu:legal's founder, Bork Morfaw — a former Freshfields lawyer — before they're activated on the platform. Background, work, fit. Not a checkbox. A conversation.

When you add Expert Review, you'll see the lawyer's name and credentials before the work goes out. No anonymous reviewers. No “someone on our team.”
