Conflicts · Module

Conflicts you see — before they become conflicts.

Optimaite Law screens — in under 3 seconds — every active, archived and potential matter against the new client, the opponent, their directors, group structure and member relationships. You see hits with reasoning — and decide with BRAO-compliant documentation.

What the AI takes over

AI screens direct and transitive conflicts (group, identical directors, shareholder chains) in seconds.

AI in the background

How conflict checking runs in Optimaite

Four layers: direct match, identical directors, group affiliation, transitive shareholdings.

  1. 01Was die KI macht

    AI extracts from the mandate inquiry all parties: client, opponent, directors, ultimate beneficial owners (UBO), intervenors.

    Was Sie entscheiden

    You see the participant graph — add or exclude persons.

  2. 02Was die KI macht

    Layer 1: AI does direct name matching across all matters — fuzzy for spelling variants ('Muster GmbH' = 'Muster G.m.b.H.'), commercial register, VAT ID.

    → M-2023-0091 — Muster GmbH = Muster G.m.b.H. (HRB 67342)

    Was Sie entscheiden

    Hits are color-coded: red (same party), yellow (related person), green (no conflict).

  3. 03Was die KI macht

    Layer 2: AI checks director identity — if 'Max Mustermann' is director at client A and opponent B, that's a conflict.

    Was Sie entscheiden

    Data comes from commercial register extracts or your KYC process — AI connects the dots.

  4. 04Was die KI macht

    Layer 3: AI traces group affiliation — parent/subsidiary/sub-subsidiary, including holdings and trust structures.

    Was Sie entscheiden

    You see the group tree with conflict nodes marked — decide on acceptance with reasoning.

  5. 05Was die KI macht

    Layer 4: Transitive shareholdings — 'client A owns 30% of X, opponent B owns 25% of X' — AI flags for review.

    Was Sie entscheiden

    You weigh: no direct conflict, but reject mandate or disclose to client? Decision is saved with reasoning.

  6. 06Was die KI macht

    AI documents the decision: who checked (lawyer ID), when (timestamp), which conflicts (hit list), how decided (acceptance/rejection with reasoning), what client disclosure occurred.

    Was Sie entscheiden

    For bar-association queries the documentation is printed in 30 seconds — BRAO-compliant.

Berufsträger-Kontrolle. The conflict engine doesn't replace legal judgment — it provides the data basis. Every mandate acceptance remains a conscious lawyer decision; the system only documents.

Built in, not bolted on

Four building blocks working together.

01 · Feature

Fuzzy name matching

Recognizes 'Muster GmbH' = 'Muster G.m.b.H.', 'GmbH' = 'limited liability company', tolerates typos and language variants.

02 · Feature

Commercial register integration

Direct query against the German commercial register (HRB/HRA) — directors, proxies, shareholders, partners are auto-imported.

03 · Feature

Group relations visualised

Group trees as interactive graph. Conflict nodes marked; depth configurable (typically 3 levels).

04 · Feature

UBO detection

Ultimate beneficial owners from trust and holding structures are detected — relevant for AML compliance (GwG).

Whitelist / blacklist

Specific clients or opponents can be explicitly blocked or released for mandates — beyond matter lifetime.

Audit log with reasoning

Every conflict check, decision and client disclosure is documented. Export as PDF for bar association or insurance.

Status quo

Today this costs time. With Optimaite it no longer does.

String match misses many

Legacy conflict checks search 'Muster GmbH' and miss 'Muster Beteiligungs AG' (same director) or 'Muster Holding' (group parent). That's exactly where professional-liability cases arise.

Conflict documentation on paper

When the bar association asks 'When was the conflict checked, who decided?' — the answer sits in an email in the archive. At best.

Large-firm reality: 50,000 matters

With 50,000+ active matters and 200 lawyers, conflict checking isn't 'someone looks it up' — it's a systematic bottleneck.
