Corporate Law Agent
Can you show me the company’s ownership structure?
The ownership structure here includes both the shareholders of Nordstern Technologie GmbH and its holdings in other companies. A shareholder list alone would therefore answer only part of the question.
Direct and indirect equity interests are relevant to this overview. Voting rights and special rights are distinct from these; an ownership percentage alone does not establish them.
The specific companies and percentages need support from register extracts and shareholder lists. Next, I need to check the commercial register.

Simulated register access using fictional sample data.
Yes. Here is the ownership structure of Nordstern Technologie GmbH from our fictional example.
Shareholders of Nordstern Technologie GmbH
- Max Mustermann: 55%
- Lena Berger: 30%
- Hanse Ventures GmbH: 15%
The shareholdings add up to 100%.
Company investments
- Nordstern Digital GmbH: 100% – a wholly owned subsidiary.
- Nordstern Services GmbH: 75% – the remaining 25% is held by Elbe Partner GmbH.
Direct and indirect ownership
Max Mustermann directly holds 55% of the parent company. His calculated indirect interest in Nordstern Services GmbH is therefore 41.25% (55% × 75%).
This overview shows equity interests. Different voting rights or special rights are not yet reflected here.

More about PII maskingChoose an agent for your area of law.
Assign a lease review to a tenancy law agent or ask a corporate law agent to review company resolutions. The agent works from the documents you provide and the professional guidelines you have specified.
Grounded in legal doctrine
Legal Cognition is developed in Germany by lawyers and AI developers. Its starting point is continental European legal methodology, with its systematic approach to legislation, doctrinal relationships and application of legal rules to the facts of each case.
01
Understanding the law as a system
Which provision applies? What are its conditions and legal consequences? How does it relate to other provisions? These relationships determine how we structure legal analysis in the product.
02
From the facts to legal reasoning
Our lawyers define how the relevant facts are assessed against the legal requirements. This includes interpreting provisions and considering case law and legal scholarship. The reasoning should make differing views and unresolved requirements clear.
03
Legal design and technical implementation
Lawyers and AI developers work together to implement these requirements in research, document review and the work of AI agents. They determine which review steps are needed, which sources are consulted and how an assessment can be checked by a legal professional.
Legal Cognition OS
01 / AI agents
Carry out legal assignments autonomously
Assign AI agents to conduct research, review extensive documentation or prepare drafts. They break the assignment into steps, use the necessary tools and apply your organisation’s knowledge.
Results supported by sources
Legal assessments and factual findings are supported by legal authorities and document references. You can consult the cited passages in the original sources.
Approval under your control
You decide which steps require your approval. At those points, the agent pauses and submits its work for your review.
Ongoing monitoring
Selected emails, documents and matters are monitored for issues requiring attention. Reviews start at scheduled times or when relevant changes occur.
02 / Matter
Organise legal matters and proceedings
A matter brings together the documents, participants and tasks for an engagement or proceeding. You can check its progress and open the related documents and review findings.
Adapted to the type of matter
An acquisition calls for different information and review steps from court proceedings. The fields, views and processes reflect the type of matter you are handling.
Set access rights
You determine which documents and functions internal and external participants can use. Permissions reflect each participant’s role in the matter.
Address outstanding issues
Pending reviews, identified risks and decisions requiring attention are brought together in the matter. You can work through them using the related documents.
Keep a record of the work
Changes, document access and approvals are logged in the matter. You can see who carried out each action.
03 / Obligations
Monitor deadlines and obligations
Obligations brings upcoming deadlines and duties from your matters into one overview. You can see when action is needed, who is responsible and what remains outstanding.
Identify obligations in documents
Legal Cognition identifies notice deadlines, contract renewals and other obligations in your documents. You can check the extracted information against the relevant passage.
Set reminders
Choose how much time you need to prepare. Reminders prompt you to take the required action ahead of the relevant deadline.
Assign responsibility
Assign the work to a responsible person. For each obligation, record its status and the next required step.
Plan across matters
The deadline calendar shows upcoming dates across your matters. Filter the view by matter, priority and entry type.
04 / Tabular Review
Review documents against your questions
Tabular Review examines multiple documents in parallel using a shared set of questions. Results appear in a table, with one row per document and one column per question.
Define your review questions
Choose which information and provisions to examine, such as liability caps, consent requirements or termination rights.
Check answers against the original
Findings include a verbatim quotation and source reference. You can read the passage on which each answer is based.
Ask AI about the findings
Ask follow-up questions about the results, such as which contracts require consent before an acquisition. The AI uses the review data to answer.
Filter and export results
Narrow the table to the results relevant to your review. Export the findings for further work.
05 / Playbooks
Review contracts against your standards
Playbooks record your organisation’s requirements for contract review. Legal Cognition checks contract clauses against them and identifies points that need negotiation.
Define negotiating positions
For each topic, specify your preferred terms, acceptable departures and unacceptable conditions. Add model wording, for example for liability caps or termination rights.
Assess clauses against your requirements
The review assesses contract provisions against the positions in your playbook. You can see which clauses meet your requirements and which depart from them.
Read the reasoning
Each assessment includes an explanation and a reference to the relevant contract passage. You can check why a provision was classified as acceptable or as a departure.
Reuse your playbooks
Apply the same review requirements to further contracts. Upload individual documents or review documents within an existing matter.
06 / Contract intelligence
Analyse your contract portfolio
Contract Intelligence brings together contract data and review findings across your portfolio. You can see which agreements are in place, where provisions depart from your standards and which reviews remain open.
Capture contract data automatically
Legal Cognition extracts parties, terms, contract values, governing law and deadlines from the documents and records them in the contract register.
Compare departures across the portfolio
The overview shows which contracts contain clauses that depart from your requirements. Compare, for example, how often liability or confidentiality provisions meet your standards.
See what is coming up
Contract values, upcoming renewals and notice deadlines appear in one overview. You can identify which contracts need attention next.
Find relevant contracts
Filter the portfolio by party, clause, risk or date. Find agreements with a particular counterparty or an approaching notice deadline.
07 / Editor
Draft and revise legal documents
Create and edit contracts, pleadings and other legal documents directly in Legal Cognition. AI assists with drafting based on the matter documents and your professional requirements.
Revise specific passages
Ask AI to add clauses or revise selected sections. You specify the substantive changes the draft should incorporate.
Review proposed changes
Insertions and deletions appear as tracked changes. You can accept, reject or adjust each proposal yourself.
Comment on the document
Comments and explanations appear beside the relevant passage. Questions and notes remain attached to the text they concern.
Continue editing in Word
Open and edit DOCX files in your browser. Then export the document in DOCX format to continue working in Word.
08 / Dynamic templates
Build templates without coding
Turn your contract precedents and other standard documents into automated templates. You define which information to collect and which clauses or wording variants follow from it. AI assistants help you build the template.
Define clauses and conditions
Set the conditions under which particular provisions are included in the document. Templates can accommodate multiple interdependent decisions.
Connect the questionnaire to the document
Link questions to the relevant information and wording variants. Answers determine both the follow-up questions and the content of the draft.
Share and embed templates
Share templates through a link or embed the questionnaire in your website or other applications. You decide whether recipients only submit information or also receive the generated documents.
Create bilingual templates
Provide the template text in two languages. Both language versions use the same information and conditions.
09 / Workflow Builder
Automate legal workflows
Define how recurring assignments should be handled, from collecting contract data through an AI review to drafting a document. In Workflow Builder, you set the sequence and conditions for each step.
Assemble the steps
Arrange forms, AI instructions and document templates on a visual canvas. You decide which results are passed to the next step.
Define branching conditions
Specify how the workflow responds to different inputs or review findings. Depending on the case, it proceeds to further questions, an additional review or document drafting.
Assign sources and instructions
For each AI step, specify the information, templates and professional instructions it should use.
Publish and reuse workflows
Make completed workflows available to your team for further assignments. Changes are versioned so the version used can be identified.
10 / Monitors
Track legal developments
Track new legislation, court decisions and publications from public authorities and assess their impact on your work. Monitors links legal monitoring with your contract templates, playbooks and regulations. Relevant developments become concrete review assignments and, where needed, proposed amendments.
Choose topics and sources
Choose areas of law, jurisdictions and available sources. New publications retain their original source and publication status. You can see when sources were last successfully checked.
Assess the impact on your documents
Assess which clauses, contract templates, playbooks or regulations may be affected. The review links the legal source to the affected passage and explains why a review or amendment is recommended.
Assign and track reviews
Prioritise relevant findings and assign review to the responsible people. Sources, documents, deadlines and progress remain together – from the first alert to the documented decision.
Prepare amendments
Turn confirmed findings into contract template redlines, revised playbook rules or draft amendments with a side-by-side comparison and reasoning. You decide which proposals are approved.
Execute Legal Intelligence
A contract draft is shaped by the facts, the legal requirements and the decisions made in negotiation. A judicial decision requires consideration of the parties’ submissions, the evidence and the legal authorities. Administrative proceedings involve examining applications and supporting documents, involving the relevant parties and giving reasons for decisions. Which information matters and which steps follow depend on the task and the participants’ roles.
Your organisation’s knowledge also informs this work. It includes established wording, experience from earlier proceedings and professional standards. Much of it is recorded in past matter files or held in individuals’ experience. This knowledge should remain available when others take over a matter or AI agents undertake assignments.
This requires more than a model. It requires infrastructure built for legal work. That infrastructure must provide access to the relevant documents and legal sources, account for responsibilities and include the tools needed to carry out the work. Legal Cognition is building this infrastructure.
Our operating system is designed to make your organisation’s legal knowledge available when an assignment is being carried out. Your professional requirements can be recorded in playbooks, templates and recurring workflows. AI agents apply these requirements to the assignment and submit their results with the sources used and the proposed changes. You should be able to see what a proposal rests on and which questions remain unresolved.
Legal judgment develops through education, experience and close consideration of each case. It is exercised within professional and institutional responsibilities. These conditions shape how we use AI. Your organisation decides which tasks agents undertake, which steps require approval and who conducts the professional review of the results.
The same applies to the technical implementation. Legal Cognition is designed to work within the systems your organisation already uses. You determine who may access which documents, where data is processed and which AI models are used.
Legal expertise should determine how AI works. That is why we are building Legal Cognition.
