European law firms operate across borders, languages and regulatory regimes simultaneously. SpineLegal supports French, German and Spanish natively — not translated — and runs on EU-hosted Azure infrastructure that meets GDPR data residency requirements for every member state your firm operates in.
EU Azure hosting, data processing agreements, retention rules.
CNB / Paris Bar alignment, French document templates.
BRAK / DAV alignment, German-language workflows.
Consejo General de la Abogacía Española alignment.
Conflict checking, confidentiality controls, ethical walls.
There is a difference between a platform that has been translated into French and a platform that natively supports French legal practice. SpineLegal is the latter — workflows, templates and compliance guidance are built for each market, not adapted from an English original.

Every EU law firm handling client personal data is a data controller. SpineLegal is your data processor — and every obligation that entails is met by default, not by configuration.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
