Legal counsel in the classical fields of commercial and corporate law — and advisory for in-house legal teams and law firms introducing the same AI tools we use ourselves.
Request an initial consultation →Contract analysis, due diligence, clause comparison, legal research, first drafts and compliance review — all of it produced with these tools, checked by counsel and signed off by the attorney.
This way of working does not change what the firm does. It changes how deep we go per mandate. More clauses examined, more precedents compared, more contract versions reviewed per matter. Substance that conventionally structured mandates could not deliver within an economic envelope.
Clients gain in two ways. They tend to pay fixed fees rather than open-ended hourly billing, because the effort per task has become more predictable. And they get answers built on a broader analytical base, without paying for every additional hour of research.
The same expertise in using and implementing these tools is offered as a second line of business — advisory for in-house legal teams and law firms looking to bring the same tools into their own practice.
Methodology and tool stack →Asset deals and share deals in the mid-market, cross-border transactions, vendor and buyer-side due diligence, SPA negotiation and closing conditions. AI tools make data-room review and clause benchmarking as deep as much larger fee structures would otherwise require.
Investment agreements, term sheets, convertible notes, cap-table modelling and liquidation preferences. The template-driven work in this field runs AI-augmented against market standards; strategic negotiation is led by counsel.
Asset deals and portfolio transactions, developer and condominium law, commercial and residential lease law. For clients with large holdings, AI-augmented portfolio review covers rent-index conformity, clause risks and optimisation potential.
Software licences, SaaS agreements, data-processing agreements, IP strategy and platform compliance. Contract portfolios are analysed with AI tools, benchmarked against industry standards and consolidated into heatmap reports.
Wealth succession, foundation set-up and structuring, association law, advice to family businesses and family offices. Discreet, long-term, personally led by counsel.
Representation before German state courts in commercial disputes, enforcement of civil claims, pre-trial dispute resolution. Brief preparation and research run AI-augmented; substantive responsibility lies with counsel.
The tools the firm uses internally are the same tools that many legal departments and law firms are currently evaluating — without having brought them into day-to-day practice yet. EASTKAP advises on exactly that step. The advisory is grounded not in abstract methodology but in deep, hands-on experience using and implementing these systems in our own practice and in several in-house projects.
Which language model, which contract-analysis suite, which research platform for which use case — with a sober assessment of vendors, contract terms, data protection and compliance implications. Followed by pilot and roll-out support, including workflow integration into existing IT.
Risk classification of deployed systems, internal governance structures, documentation templates, end-user guidelines. Equally relevant for mid-market companies and for law firms, as the substantive AI Act obligations come into force.
Practice-oriented training for in-house counsel, associates, paralegals and assistants. Built around real use cases from our own mandates rather than textbook examples. Optional follow-up sparring once the tools are live in day-to-day work.
Hand-picked rulings with direct relevance to our mandates — curated and annotated.
Daniel Wagner combines mandate experience from two international law firms — Watson Farley & Williams in the corporate energy team and Taylor Wessing in M&A — with an in-house position at Eppendorf SE and deep, hands-on engagement with artificial intelligence in legal work.
His mandates include the Veja Mate offshore wind transaction, advice to the insolvency administrator of Veritas AG, the Jawoll acquisition and corporate-law advice to the world's largest search engine provider.
Initial consultations take place in person, by phone or by video. Write to us with a brief outline of the matter — we will respond with concrete suggestions on how to proceed.
