Rechtigo is the platform for the entire legal case. You describe your issue in your own words and, within a few minutes, find the lawyer who best fits your case based on reviews and profile – and who can actually take it on. Every lawyer responds within 24 hours at the latest. Your case then runs in a digital case file that brings everyone involved together: you, your lawyer and their team, your relatives if you wish, your legal expenses insurer and – for businesses – the whole company. For lawyers, Rechtigo not only brings mandates but also takes over the routine around each mandate. Everything is free for clients; lawyers pay a fixed subscription with no commission. Registration opens in October 2026, and the launch is planned for 15 January 2027.
What it is about
Rechtigo is a platform where people with a legal problem find the lawyer who really fits their case – and then never lose sight of it. You describe what happened in your own words. An AI assesses the issue, warns you about typical deadlines and sums everything up in a case brief. You then see the lawyers who are suitable for exactly this case – selected by what other clients say about them, what their profile says and whether they can currently take on new mandates. It takes minutes, not days. And within 24 hours at the latest, you know whether the lawyer will take your case.
What comes next is the real difference. Your case lives in a digital case file that belongs to you: power of attorney, documents, messages, deadlines, every completed stage. You see the status without having to call. You upload what your lawyer needs as soon as they need it. You know what happens next and what it will cost. And your entire legal history – every case, every document, every decision – remains available to you for as long as you want. Nothing sits in a folder that gets lost when you move house, or in an inbox you can no longer find.
Rechtigo is meant for everyone who deals with legal cases: for private individuals, whether for the first or the tenth time; for relatives helping someone through a case; for lawyers who want not just prepared mandates but a platform that takes the work around the mandate off their hands – finished letters based on their templates, follow-up requests in one click, deadlines and appointments kept safe in the deadline register; and for businesses for which legal cases are part of everyday life and which want to manage all of their cases in one place. Advice is given exclusively by admitted, verified lawyers – the technology prepares and keeps things organised; it replaces no one.
Rechtigo is being built in Berlin. Registration opens in October 2026, and the launch is planned for 15 January 2027. Until then, we are gathering the people and lawyers who want to be there from the start via our newsletter and waitlist. Video consultations are possible from anywhere from day one.
One case, everyone involved
A legal case rarely concerns only two people. Rechtigo brings everyone who is involved into the same case file – each with exactly the rights they need, and no more.
Describe your case, read the initial assessment with its deadline traffic light, choose a lawyer, sign the power of attorney on screen, see every step in the case tracker.
A case brief instead of a first meeting in the dark. Finished letters based on your own template, follow-up requests in one click, deadline register and court dates – on your own or as a team.
Clients invite someone to read along or upload documents – without the right to sign, revocable at any time.
The coverage request to the legal expenses insurer goes out in one click, and the reply lands directly in the case file.
After an accident, you choose from your lawyer's partner experts in the case file – without searching yourself.
Team, roles, your own file reference and cost centre, regular lawyers for each area of law – in the free business account or directly from your own systems.
The problems we solve
For clients: a legal case in the dark
Every legal case begins with a search in the dark. Which lawyer is the right one? Do they even have time? What will it cost? Is a deadline running? Directories show profiles, but not availability. Contact forms disappear into inboxes; call-backs come days later or never. And you never find out why someone is listed at the top. And once you have found a lawyer, it goes on: print the power of attorney, sign it, scan it. Send documents by e-mail after the fact. Call to find out whether anything has happened. Your own case feels like something that happens to you – not something you take part in. And when the case is over, its history is scattered across folders, inboxes and memory.
For lawyers: a lot of work before the actual work
Every new mandate takes time before the legal work begins: assessing requests, obtaining the power of attorney, requesting documents, clarifying coverage, preparing recurring letters, managing deadlines and appointments, keeping clients up to date. With Rechtigo, all of this is automated for you – you stay in control and give the approval.
How Rechtigo works
For clients
In your own words, typed or spoken, in any language – or as a photo of the letter you received. No account, no form.
Area of law, typical deadline, usual cost range, next steps. This produces the case brief your lawyer reads before the meeting.
You only see lawyers who can actually take the case – with a transparent match percentage and the reason why they fit: reviews from real clients, specialisms from their profile, measured response time. Every profile is verified, including admission to the bar.
Book an appointment straight away, in person or by video – or submit your case and receive a suggested appointment. Every lawyer on Rechtigo commits to responding within 24 hours at the latest: acceptance or rejection. If no answer comes, we automatically forward your request to the next best lawyer.
Sign the power of attorney on screen, upload documents, clarify questions about the case file, follow every stage in the case tracker – live, without calling, with reminders by e-mail and on your phone. Your lawyer works in the same case file, with deadline register, follow-ups and appointments. And when the case is closed, it remains part of your legal history.
For lawyers
Rechtigo supports every mandate from first contact to the ongoing case file – in exactly the order in which the work arises:
Every request arrives as a case brief: facts, goal, deadlines, opposing party – with a note from the conflict check. You decide whether to accept; nothing is assigned.
With the booking, the power of attorney is requested and signed on screen. The document checklist goes to your client automatically, and you follow up on anything outstanding in one bundled click.
The coverage request to the legal expenses insurer is ready-worded and goes out in one click. The reply lands automatically in the right case file – all you do is confirm.
Mandate confirmation, request to inspect files, objection and other recurring letters are produced ready-made from your templates and the case file data; you review and approve. Your mandate data does not train any AI. Available as an extra on request.
Deadline register with advance deadline, local public holidays, entry check and outgoing check – every calculation is a suggestion; you make the binding check. You take over court summonses with a conflict check, and the request to postpone is ready for review.
They see the status in the case tracker and are reminded automatically – by e-mail and, if they wish, by push notification or SMS. Questions are handled via the messages in the case file.
File-opening sheet, deadline sheet and calendar subscription bring every mandate into your familiar environment.
Our mission
We want no one to go through a legal case without knowing where it stands. We want the path to the right lawyer to take minutes, not weeks. We want clients to be able to understand, follow and help shape their case – and lawyers to spend their time on legal work instead of phone chains and paper. And we want the legal history of a person or a business to be complete, organised and available at any time, instead of getting lost in folders and inboxes over the years.
To achieve this, we are building a platform in Berlin that serves everyone involved: GDPR-compliant, data processed exclusively in the EU, no AI training on mandate data, professional secrecy built in from the start, no commission for referring mandates, no paid placement. We are having legal questions about the platform independently reviewed before launch.
What Rechtigo costs
Describing your case, initial assessment, lawyer search, booking, case file, helper access and legal history. You only pay your lawyer's fee – directly to them.
No paid placement, no cost per request. The first 50 lawyers in each city start with three months free.
The business account with team, roles, your own file reference, cost centres and regular lawyers.
What happens next
Until registration opens in October 2026, we are gathering lawyers for the Founding places and preparing for the launch on 15 January 2027. In the next articles, we will show in detail what the platform can do and how clients, lawyers and businesses use it step by step. We publish every milestone here and in the newsletter.
