“Is anything even happening?”
Between two letters, weeks pass in silence. The work is happening — the client just can't see it. So they call, and someone bills an hour to say “we're waiting on the court”.

Your case.
Your case.
Your language.
No more guessing.
Most people meet the legal system on the worst day of their year — often in a language that isn't their own. Lawendo puts the client and the law firm on the same case file, so the answer to “where do we stand?” is always one tap away.

The real problem
Legal work is rarely the hard part.
Legal work is rarely the hard part.
Not knowing is.
Cases are lost to silence far more often than to bad arguments. A missed letter. A deadline nobody explained. A client who gave up asking because the answer never came in a language they understood.
Language turns a case into a maze
Roughly one in seven people in Germany speaks another language at home. They receive the same formal letters as everyone else — and are expected to act on them correctly, within days.
Deadlines that only exist on paper
A date in a letter is not a reminder. Lawendo turns it into one.
Documents scattered across five apps
Email, WhatsApp, post, a USB stick. One case, five places, no version anyone trusts.
Invoices that arrive as a surprise
Costs should be visible while they accrue, not explained afterwards.
One platform, two sides
The same case file, seen from both chairs
Client portals usually serve the firm. Case tools usually serve the lawyer. Lawendo is one shared record — which is the only way both sides ever see the same truth.
Find a lawyer who fits — and who is real
Search by practice area, language and location, then compare profiles side by side. Every firm on Lawendo goes through a verification step before it can take a client.
A timeline instead of a black box
Every step, document and message on one thread. You always know what happened, what is next, and what is expected from you.
Book appointments directly
See real availability and book without a phone-tag loop.
Understand what you're reading
Plain-language guides for your kind of case, in your language.
Costs you can watch
Invoices and payments in the same place as the case.
Stop paying partners to give status updates
When the client can see the timeline, the “just checking in” call disappears. The hours you bill go back to being legal work.
Ask for documents once
Send a document request, and the client sees exactly what is missing — with a deadline attached. No more three-email threads about a missing page 2.
Capability-based roles
Decide exactly what each assistant may see and do — per capability, not per job title.
Deadlines that chase themselves
Tasks and dates with in-app reminders for whoever owns them.
Reach clients you currently turn away
Nine languages means a wider intake without hiring for each one.
Not a translation layer
The whole product
The whole product
changes language.
Not a PDF glossary. Not machine-translated help text. The interface, the case, the notifications and the guides — all of it, in nine languages. Arabic and Persian aren't mirrored as an afterthought: the entire layout flips to right-to-left.

How it works
Three steps, then clarity
Describe your situation
Answer a few plain questions in your language. No legal vocabulary required — that is precisely the part you came for help with.
Choose a verified firm
Compare lawyers by practice area, language and location. Send a request; the firm responds with a proposal you can actually read.
Work the case together
Messages, documents, appointments, deadlines and invoices — one place, both sides, always the same status.
Data protection
The quiet part
The quiet part
we built first.
A legal platform holds the most sensitive record a person owns: what happened to them, and what they are afraid of next. We treat that as an engineering constraint, not a policy page.
Lawendo is built in Europe and is being developed towards full GDPR alignment ahead of general availability — with independent review before we open to the public.
Rules live in the database, not the screen
Access is enforced at the data layer. Hiding a button is not security; refusing the row is.
Every table has a declared owner
An authorisation manifest states who may touch each relation. Anything not explicitly granted is denied by default.
Your data can leave
Request a copy or a deletion of your data from inside your account. Data you can't export isn't really yours.
Collect less in the first place
Data minimisation and anonymisation are design decisions made before a feature is built, not cleanup afterwards.

Honestly compared
Against how it works today
Most cases are still run over email, post and phone calls. That is the real competitor, so it is the one worth comparing against.
| Email, post and phone | Lawendo | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the case stands | Ask, and wait for someone to look it up | Visible to both sides, always current |
| Documents | Spread over inbox, post and messaging apps | One place, with requests and deadlines attached |
| Deadlines | A date inside a letter | A task with an in-app reminder for whoever owns it |
| Language | Whatever the firm can staff | Nine languages, including real right-to-left |
| Costs | Explained after they accrue | Invoices in the same place as the work |
| Access control | Whoever was on the email thread | Enforced in the database, per capability |
Scope, stated plainly
What Lawendo
What Lawendo
is not.
A surprising amount of trust comes from saying what you do not do. We keep a binding internal list of which features are live, and we do not market anything that is not on it.
Not a law firm
We give no legal advice and never will. Advice comes from the independent firm you engage.
Not an AI that answers legal questions
There is no AI assistant in the product. A machine guessing at your case is not a feature we are willing to ship.
Not a marketplace that ranks by ad spend
Firms are verified before they can take a client. You are not being sold to the highest bidder.
Not finished
We are in an invitation phase while the last release gates close. The security page lists what is still open.
Questions
Straight answers
What is Lawendo, exactly?
A platform where a client and their law firm work on the same case
file. Both sides see the same status, appointments, documents,
deadlines and messages. The interface is available in nine languages,
including Arabic, Persian and Turkish with full right-to-left layout.
Does Lawendo give legal advice?
No, and it never will. Lawendo is not a law firm and does not advise.
It is the shared workspace that makes your lawyer's work visible and
understandable to you. Advice comes from the lawyer you choose.
Which languages are supported?
English, German, Arabic, Persian, Turkish, French, Dutch, Spanish and
Portuguese. Arabic and Persian render as a true right-to-left layout,
not mirrored text. More languages follow demand — tell us which one
you need.
How is my data protected?
Access rules are enforced in the database rather than only in the
interface, every relation is covered by a declared authorisation
manifest with default-deny access, and you can request a copy or
deletion of your data from inside your account. Lawendo is built in
Europe and is being developed towards full GDPR alignment, with
independent review before general availability.
Can my law firm keep its own way of working?
Yes. Firms manage their own team, roles and capabilities, control
which cases a client sees, and keep their own intake and appointment
flow. Assistant permissions are capability-based, so you decide
precisely what each team member may do.
What does it cost, and can I start today?
Lawendo is onboarding firms and clients by invitation while pricing is
settled together with the first firms. Request access and we will come
back with the current terms for your situation or practice size.
Two questions, and you're on the list
We are onboarding a small group of law firms and clients while we finish the last release gates. Tell us who you are — we reply personally, in your language.
No card, no contract, no automated sales sequence.
