The leading solution for the selection of law firms

A Selection of our Partners

„We hear a lot about Legal Tech, but rarely see any real benefits for our daily work. With Lintum, legal departments can easily create RFPs to source legal services from outside counsel in a transparent and well documented process.”

Frequently Asked Questions

FOR WHAT SORT OF REQUESTS FOR PROPOSAL (RFPS) IS LINTUM SUITABLE?

Lintum may be used for smaller (e.g. litigation, preparation of standard contracts) as well as major RfPs (e.g. M&A transactions, comprehensive compliance investigations). The advantage to use Lintum for all external legal services purchased is that an inhouse lawyer will have the full overview at any point in time over the complete external legal spend through the dashboard implemented in the tool.

WHAT IS THE EFFORT REQUIRED TO INSTALL THE SOFTWARE? ARE THERE ANY TRAININGS NECESSARY TO USE THE SOFTWARE?

Lintum is a cloud-based solution and, as such, can be easily used upon installation with any up-to-date browser. As a result of the intuitive set-up, no trainings are required.

HOW DOES LINTUM’S TOOL SUPPORT THE COMPLIANCE OF CORPORATE CLIENTS?

Transparency is central to our DNA, and we act as neutral trusted partners for both corporates and law firms. Lintum offers the opportunity to corporates to invite as many law firms as desired to respond to an RfP, and to draw a ‘side by side’ comparison between the responses received, based on economic and qualitative criteria. The in-built documentation of this process is tamper-proof.

WHERE WILL DATA BE STORED, AND IS SUCH STORAGE SECURE?

Lintum collects data as part of your use of the tool. All data is stored with encryption in a redundant way in Microsoft’s cloud in Western Europe. The software is “made in Germany”. Further information regarding this data, and why we collect such data, can be found in our Data Protection Statement.

WE ARE A CHARITY AND WOULD LIKE TO USE LINTUM. ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL CONDITIONS?

We would be glad to support selected charities. Please contact our team at hello@lintum.com for further information.

Dr. Jens Kellerhoff

Chief Legal & Strategy Officer

Jens is admitted as an attorney to the bar in Germany. His main focus is M&A, commercial and corporate law, but in his legal inhouse capacity he also covers a wider remit of legal areas. He is familiar with both the law firm and the corporate perspective: For many years, he worked as a lawyer in large law firms, was a partner at a market-leading transaction insurance broker and held positions as a general counsel and compliance officer in German and international corporations. Now, Jens would like to contribute to the innovative development of the German legal market with Lintum.

Professional legal procurement injects innovation into the legal market. Both corporations and law firms benefit from more structured processes, and legal services will increasingly be rendered at fixed prices.
