Verifiable trust infrastructure for the legal profession
The European legal profession faces a digital transformation mandate: eIDAS 2.0 wallets by December 2026, digitalised judicial cooperation, and cross-border legal communication requirements. Trust infrastructure that preserves lawyer-client confidentiality across digital channels is essential.
Discuss legal trust infrastructureLegal professionals face three converging mandates: EU Digital Identity Wallets under eIDAS 2.0 requiring new client identification workflows, the Digital Justice Strategy 2025-2030 digitalising judicial proceedings, and cross-border legal communication requiring verifiable document authenticity. Each demands trust infrastructure that preserves confidentiality while enabling verification. The architectural approach proven in Swiss healthcare applies directly to legal document exchange, notarial verification, and court communication integrity.
Regulatory drivers
eIDAS 2.0 / EUDI Wallet
EU Digital Identity Wallet regulation requiring all 27 member states to provide digital identity wallets by December 2026, expanding qualified trust services for the legal profession.
450 million EU citizens eligible for EUDI Wallet
Digital Justice Strategy 2025-2030
EU strategy for digitalising justice systems, with CCBE engagement on lawyer-client confidentiality in digital systems and cross-border legal communication frameworks.
1 million+ lawyers across EU member states
Judicial Cooperation Digitalisation
Cross-border judicial proceedings increasingly requiring authenticated document exchange, notarial verification, and verifiable court communication through eDelivery and eJustice portals.
2.4 million cross-border civil cases per year in EU
Solution overview
Verifiable trust infrastructure for the legal profession means every document exchange -- court filings, notarial acts, cross-border legal communications -- carries cryptographic proof of origin, integrity, and authorisation while preserving lawyer-client confidentiality. This architectural capability ensures that digitalisation strengthens rather than weakens the trust framework that the legal profession depends on.
See how it works →Proven at scale
Healthcare proved the architecture at scale. HIN -- operator of Switzerland's health information network -- processes over 800,000 verified messages per month through 850+ gateways serving 30,000+ healthcare institutions. The same infrastructure that verifies healthcare communications -- where patient confidentiality is paramount -- applies to legal document exchange: organisational boundary trust, document integrity verification, and confidentiality preservation operate identically.

Healthcare and legal share the same fundamental requirement: communication must be verifiable without compromising confidentiality. The architecture that protects patient data protects legal privilege equally.

Being a lawyer myself, I understand the non-negotiable requirement for confidentiality in legal practice. We designed this architecture so that digitalisation under eIDAS 2.0 strengthens rather than weakens the trust framework lawyers depend on -- verifiable communication without compromising professional privilege.
