Digital Office
Opensource, secure and private collaboration infrastructure.
Open Source
S. ARAN Law Office provides a complete collaboration infrastructure (file sharing, document collaboration, video conferencing) and uses only open source software.
A software (computer program) is first written by the programmer in a programming language that is human readable and is called the source code of the program. To be understood by a computer, this program is translated into a sequence of zeros and ones that is not readable by a human. This is called executable code or machine code.
Software with open source license guarantees access to the human readable program. In this way, it is very risky for a programmer to include illegal or unethical functions such as collecting and encrypting personal data in a program.
Since the code of open source can be reviewed, it is better for privacy than closed and proprietary software where the code is kept secret by the programming company.
Case Management
We use the case management software j-lawyer. J-lawyer is a German opensource software that allows rigorous and efficient management of each case. J-lawyer is directly connected to the beA as well as to our collaboration server.
J-lawyer is also hosted on our own IT infrastructure and only legal-kanzlei.com has access to the data on this server. Our IT infrastructure does not share your data with third parties.

Our nexctcloud server is privately owned, hosted and maintained. Only you and our office have access to your data.
Video-Conference
As part of the Nextcloud open source suite, you have access to fully encrypted video conferencing. Here also we do not use any external services. Only Legal-kanzlei.com has acces to the videoconference data.
Digital signature
Each document is digitaly signed. A digital signature is more reliable than handwritten signatures as the digital signature authenticates the writer as well as the content of the document.
To get a better understanding on digital signature and how it provide the best document authentication:
Encryption
Digital signature authenticate the content of a file and its writer but does not garanties privacy of the file. Privacy is ensured by encrypting a file.
Upon request, all documents can be encrypted and password protected.
As well and upon request, Emails can also be encrypted.
