New professional law: Now the lawyers' ingenuity is required

Lawyers couldn't do what they wanted for a long time.

Time and again, the strict professional law stood in the way, which in the past decades successfully drove out almost every inventive spirit - even in favor of the clients.

It prevented a merger with doctors, engineers and actuaries, in which there is actually little to complain about if the rules are clear to everyone involved.

The same forced lack of ideas made itself felt in the legal tech area.

The most useful innovations in the legal advisory market in recent years have therefore primarily taken place outside the legal industry.

As a lawyer, you needed a lot of ingenuity beyond the paths carefully marked by the bar associations in order to be able to position yourself successfully in the legal tech market.

Here, too, digitization can offer real added value;

in a number of areas it provides the most important prerequisite for consumers to be able to enforce their legal claim even with small amounts of damage.

The legislature has now finally recognized this and has significantly relaxed the professional rules in some areas.

But now the lawyers also have to deliver.
