AI in the
Legal De­part­ment

When using AI in the legal de­part­ment, ap­plic­able data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions must be ob­served, in par­tic­u­lar the General Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (GDPR). Rel­ev­ant issues include data pro­cessing, tech­nic­al and or­gan­iz­a­tion­al safe­guards, and po­ten­tial data trans­fers outside the European Union. There­fore, it is crucial to de­term­ine the con­di­tions under which an AI model is op­er­ated and how its use aligns with ex­ist­ing data pro­tec­tion re­quire­ments.

With otris copilot, we follow the prin­ciple “AI of your choice, our plat­form.” otris provides the in­ter­face and user in­ter­face that allow you to in­teg­rate the right AI pro­vider into your spe­cial­ist solu­tion. You decide which model to use and under what con­di­tions the pro­cessing takes place. This way, you retain control over how and where your data is pro­cessed.

AI can make in­form­a­tion more readily avail­able, or­gan­ize content, and high­light risks. However, the tech­nic­al rating and de­cision-making remain your re­spons­ib­il­ity. otris copilot sup­ports your legal de­part­ment with ana­lys­is and pre­par­a­tion without as­sum­ing legal re­spons­ib­il­ity.

No. otris copilot assists with the col­lec­tion, ana­lys­is, and review of content, but does not replace a legal rating. The final de­cision rests with your legal de­part­ment.

Among other things, AI can sys­tem­at­ic­ally capture in­form­a­tion such as con­trac­tu­al part­ners, terms, dur­a­tions, clauses, li­ab­il­ity pro­vi­sions, and other con­tract-related details.

AI assists with con­tract review by more quickly identi­fy­ing and cat­egor­iz­ing terms, clauses, con­tract terms, and other con­tract-related in­form­a­tion. This allows for a more tar­geted review and rating of an­om­alies, risks, and rel­ev­ant dis­crep­an­cies.

In my opinion, this ques­tion would ac­tu­ally be more rel­ev­ant to searches than some phrases con­tain­ing “otris copilot,” because users often start by search­ing in general terms rather than by the product name. In terms of content, it aligns per­fectly with your site’s focus on testing, eval­u­ation, and risk iden­ti­fic­a­tion.

AI sup­ports your legal de­part­ment es­pe­cially in areas where thor­ough­ness and time savings go hand in hand. Ex­tens­ive doc­u­ments can be ana­lyzed quickly ac­cord­ing to defined cri­ter­ia, the de­scrip­tion can be cap­tured more pre­cisely, and re­cur­ring pro­cesses can be pre­pared more ef­fi­ciently. In this way, AI helps make in­form­a­tion avail­able more quickly and sig­ni­fic­antly reduces manual routine tasks.

otris copilot is par­tic­u­larly well-suited for cap­tur­ing, ana­lyz­ing, and re­view­ing Con­tracts and other legally rel­ev­ant doc­u­ments. This in­cludes, for example, eval­u­at­ing clauses, search­ing through ex­ist­ing doc­u­ments, and pre­par­ing for legal exams.

Clear guidelines are es­sen­tial for the use of AI in the legal de­part­ment. These include, in par­tic­u­lar, data pro­tec­tion, the se­lec­tion of an ap­pro­pri­ate model, and the con­di­tions under which data is pro­cessed. otris copilot is de­signed to in­teg­rate these re­quire­ments into ex­ist­ing busi­ness pro­cesses in a con­trolled manner.
