Here is what that means in practice for your firm.

SpineLegal is the latter — workflows, templates and compliance guidance are built for each market, not adapted from an English original. ![French flag symbolizing international reach of SpineLegal Software for legal firms in France.](https://spinelegal.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/fr.png) ### Français France · Belgium · Luxembourg · Switzerland CNB & Paris Bar aligned · Native UI · French document templates ![German flag representing SpineLegal Software's expansion into the German legal tech market.](https://spinelegal.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/de.png) ### Deutsch Germany · Austria · Switzerland BRAK & DAV aligned · Native UI · German-language workflows ![Spanish flag representing SpineLegal Software's expansion and legal software solutions in Spain.](https://spinelegal.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/es.png) ### Español Spain · Latin America Consejo General aligned · Native UI · Spanish templates ### GDPR compliance ## GDPR is not a checkbox. It's built into the platform. Every EU law firm handling client personal data is a data controller — and that carries significant legal obligations. As your data processor, SpineLegal meets every one of those obligations by default, not by configuration, so your firm is compliant from day one without manual setup. ### Data Processing Agreements SpineLegal acts as a data processor for your firm's client data. A GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreement covering the obligations of Article 28 is available for all EU law firm clients — covering purpose limitation, sub-processors, security measures and breach notification timelines. ### EU data residency by default All client data for European law firms is held within Microsoft Azure's EU regions. No data transits to or is held in the United Kingdom, the United States or any other third country without a valid transfer mechanism — adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses — in place. ### Right to erasure and retention rules GDPR's right to erasure requires law firms to delete a client's personal data on request — subject to the firm's own legal retention obligations. SpineLegal's matter management includes configurable retention policies and a deletion workflow that satisfies both requirements simultaneously. ### 72-hour breach notification Article 33 GDPR requires notification to the supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach. SpineLegal's incident response tooling logs detected anomalies, triggers internal alerts, and helps prepare the notification documentation within the required window. ### Multi-jurisdiction practice ## AI legal software for multi-jurisdiction European practices For practices operating across multiple EU member states — with lawyers working in different languages and different national frameworks — SpineLegal’s AI maintains consistency across jurisdictions while respecting the local legal environment of each matter. A German employment matter, a French commercial dispute and a Spanish real estate transaction can all run inside the same platform, each with its own language settings, compliance rules and document templates.
