This booklet details the research and development of a legal tech self-service platform prototype. Small businesses and startups face legal challenges which consume their limited resources. Three research questions and three objectives were established to motivate the research. Working with Berlin-based law firm SKW Schwarz, the project team conducted content analysis, surveys, and interviews to expose current pain points in commercial law practice. With research across size and industry, the team designed a platform prototype for in-house legal support. The concept includes modern technology practices: UI/UX design, workflow automation, and use of AI. The findings and deliverable aim to provide companies—particularly startups—the knowledge and tools to succeed despite their legal hurdles.
