What ADVOKAT does

ADVOKAT, legally ADVOKAT Unternehmensberatung GREITER & GREITER GmbH, is an Austrian provider of law practice management software headquartered in Innsbruck with a second office in Vienna. Founded in 1980 and family-owned under managing shareholder Mag. Evelin Greiter, the company has built and maintained software for Austrian law firms, legal departments, and public authorities for approximately 45 years, serving the majority of Austrian lawyers with a staff of around 70. Its customer base spans solo practitioners through the country's largest firms, with 4 of the 5 largest Austrian law firms and 9 of 11 best regional firms counted as customers per the TREND Ranking 2024.

The ADVOKAT platform is a modular Windows-based system centered on a Basis|Paket (core case management for the electronically maintained legal file) and supplemented by ten add-on modules: Inkasso|Paket (debt collection), Workflow|Paket (process automation), Finanz|Paket (accounting and controlling), Insolvenz|Paket, Assistenz|Paket, Mandanten|Paket, Wohnungseigentum|Paket (condominium management), Marken|Paket (trademark management), Collaboration|Paket, and WebERV|Useware. Adjacent services include ADVOKAT Online (a portal providing authorized access to Austrian public registries and electronic legal traffic), ADVOKAT SharePoint Online (Microsoft 365-native document collaboration), and the ADVOKAT KI-Assistent (AI-powered text summarization, analysis, and reformulation billed per query). The company operates its own transmission point for the Elektronischer Rechtsverkehr (ERV) and is an authorized business partner of the Republic of Austria for registry access.

ADVOKAT generates revenue through three streams: annual software subscriptions for the modular platform, usage-based billing for ADVOKAT Online registry queries and ADVOCOM communications, and professional services (business development consulting, implementation, training, and support). Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales with a Verkauf & Produktberatung team, augmented by event marketing (Anwaltstag, Juristenverband), a partner network of system integrators and hardware/software vendors (PIT IT, Administrator.at B2B, Canon Austria, Philips Speech Processing, sproof sign, apricon, Archivium), and a self-serve online portal. The company has no external funding, no disclosed acquisitions, and operates exclusively in Austria.
