What Skribe Rechtsanwälte GmbH does

Skribe Rechtsanwälte GmbH is a Vienna-based litigation law firm (7 lawyers, 40 total employees) that operates as the legal arm of the ERLEDIGT. ecosystem, alongside FairPlane (consumer claims platform) and UNOY (technology infrastructure). Founded by Dr. Alexander Skribe, the firm specializes in three practice areas: mass proceedings (Skribe Massenverfahren), damage compensation (Skribe Anspruch/Schadenersatz across six claim types), and compliance (DSGVO, AI Act, DSA, ElWOG). Since 2010, the firm reports €52M enforced for clients across more than 500,000 cases with a 98.5% success rate, including 149 supreme-court decisions (30 EuGH, 16 BGH, 3 BVerfG, 100 OGH) and anchor wins such as OGH 9 Ob 57/25k (Smart Meter, June 2025) and the C-452/13 Germanwings precedent.

The firm's operating model combines licensed-attorney review with the proprietary UNOY platform, whose COIA agents and structured workflows automate case intake, claims assessment, document drafting, and execution. A documented four-eyes attorney-review principle applies to all outputs above €5,000 dispute value, aligning AI use with §9 RAO professional-conduct rules and EU-hosting/AVV-compliant data infrastructure. The go-to-market is hybrid: sales-led enterprise engagement (Dr. Skribe as named contact for 50+ cases/year mandates), API integrations with insurers (Allianz Rechtsschutz, ERV, HanseMerkur), self-serve B2C intake via FairPlane (ADAC-Rechtsanwalt for German members), and inside-sales phone/online form intake for SMEs and individuals. Pricing is transparent and segmented: fixed price per result from €120 incl. VAT, third-party litigation funding (~30% success share), RATG billing for court work, and hybrid wave-based pricing for enterprise clients.
