Question 1

Does LEXchat replace the legal review?

Accepted Answer

No. LEXchat is a triage and efficiency tool. Every first analysis is reviewed by you as a lawyer before it goes to the client — the BGFA lawyer's monopoly remains untouched. You save the structuring groundwork, not the responsibility.

Question 2

How are the sources documented?

Accepted Answer

Every statement references specifically: statutory articles (with a Fedlex link), BGE and relevant cantonal decisions (with an entscheidsuche.ch link), as well as the relevant doctrine. You can verify every recommendation directly without leaving the platform.

Question 3

Where is the dossier data stored?

Accepted Answer

In Switzerland: application, database and sign-in run at Infomaniak in Geneva, the backups at Exoscale — deliberately with a second, independent Swiss provider, so that an outage or compromise of one environment cannot reach the backups held in the other. They are encrypted before they leave our servers, and the private key needed to decrypt them is held on no server. Only the public statutory and case-law corpus, which holds no dossier data, is located in Germany. Upstream anonymisation via a Swiss model is under evaluation. We never use your data to train our models.

Question 4

Which areas of law are covered?

Accepted Answer

The focus is employment, tenancy, contract and consumer law. We continuously expand the corpus to social-insurance, immigration and data-protection law. The example dossier gives you an indication of the depth per area of law.

Question 5

What does onboarding look like?

Accepted Answer

You request access by e-mail. Once approved, you accept the contract documents at your first login, create your first mandate and are productive within 15 minutes. On request we give you and your team a personal introduction.

Question 6

There are several of us at the firm — how do we use LEXchat?

Accepted Answer

Each person gets their own single seat — access is personal, as professional secrecy and traceability require. A firm-wide plan with a shared case file is in development; until then several single seats are the right way, even for a firm of five.

Question 7

What does “unlimited under fair use” mean?

Accepted Answer

There is no quota and no per-analysis price. The guide value is 40 analyses per seat and month — deliberately more than normal practice requires. The guide value is not a cap: anyone regularly above it gets a call from us and a suitable offer — not an invoice.
