The law firm Streich & Wittke has chosen Pandektes as its AI research solution for the entire practice. In doing so, the specialized real estate law firm from Stuttgart demonstrates that it ranks among the technological pioneers in Germany. This is no coincidence, but a conscious strategic decision made by the firm's leadership.
“As a specialized real estate law firm with offices in Stuttgart and Hamburg and a small, dedicated team of five lawyers, we face a wide range of challenges every day – not only legal, but also organizational. The shortage of qualified personnel in secretarial and front-office roles prompted us early on to embrace digitalization and automation. Since 2019, we’ve been pursuing the goal of working as paperless as possible and making our processes as efficient as they can be.” - Janis Wittke, Partner at Streich & Wittke
This commitment to constantly seeking ways to enhance efficiency naturally includes the potential integration of AI solutions into daily legal work. That path eventually led to initial conversations with Pandektes. What began as a trial phase quickly developed into a productive collaboration. Within a very short time, Streich & Wittke became one of the platform’s most active users.
“It‘s been amazing to work with Streich & Wittke ensuring a smooth adoption of Pandektes. Within a short time the firm have integrated the Pandektes platform into daily research, analytical and productivity tasks. The trust that Streich & Wittke have put in us and their commitment to growing with us is a big compliment and a testament to the work we have done so far. I look forward to develop Pandektes further, so we can add even more value for every lawyer at Streich & Wittke.” - Casper Laursen, CEO at Pandektes
The timing couldn't have been better.
“Pandektes came to us at exactly the right time. Of course, the tool doesn’t replace legal work – nor is that its goal. But it is a valuable companion in our daily practice, helping us get faster access to files, significantly reduce research time, and bring structure to complex matters. Whether in construction law, tenancy and condominium law, or energy law – Pandektes has become an indispensable part of our routine. We quickly became power users because we make full use of the software’s potential – and we enjoy pushing its limits.” - Janis Wittke, Partner at Streich & Wittke
The firm applies Pandektes flexibly and across different legal domains. This allows them to address various legal questions, quickly identify relevant sources from multiple areas of law, and create initial text modules.
“What we particularly value is that Pandektes isn’t limited to individual areas of law, but aspires to cover the entire field of civil law. This versatility is what makes the tool so valuable for us. Even when directly compared with other solutions, no competing product could convince us more in terms of functionality, usability, and data protection.” - Janis Wittke, Partner at Streich & Wittke
From the first conversation to full implementation, the process took just over a month. During this time, the team had the opportunity to thoroughly test the platform and get a feel for it before signing a contract.
“Kudos to the team behind Pandektes – especially Mr. Brigger, who guided us through the features with great patience and is always open to feedback. The collaboration is not only professional, but also exceptionally pleasant on a personal level.” - Janis Wittke, Partner at Streich & Wittke
Streich & Wittke clearly demonstrate that the use of AI in law firms is no longer just about efficiency – it’s an expression of a modern legal philosophy. They show what the future of legal work can look like. By positioning themselves as pioneers, they hope to encourage other firms to view AI not as a threat, but as an opportunity.
“As one of the first small firms to actively use AI in day-to-day legal practice, we see ourselves as a first mover in our peer group. We’re convinced: the legal profession has nothing to fear from artificial intelligence – it should be seen for what it can be: a helpful sidekick for the modern lawyer. We’re looking forward to continuing our collaboration with Pandektes!” - Janis Wittke, Partner at Streich & Wittke
