Why not just ChatGPT?
Concrete risks when using ChatGPT for legal questions
We hear these three cases every week from clients who asked ChatGPT first — and then come to us with avoidable costs or missed deadlines.
Hallucinated paragraphs
ChatGPT regularly invents statute citations (e.g. §305c BGB para. 4 — does not exist). Pasting that unchecked into an objection destroys your credibility before the court.
Wrong deadlines
German fine notices give you 14 days from delivery; payment orders give you 14 days to object. ChatGPT confuses these with US-style 30-day windows — and a missed deadline easily costs four figures.
Confidentiality gone
Every prompt is sent to OpenAI in the US. For trade secrets, HR data or client correspondence that breaches Art. 28 GDPR — and in dispute it taints evidence.

Honest cost math
A typical NDA draft incl. review and lawyer handover.
| Scenario | With ChatGPT | With SmartLegalPro |
|---|---|---|
| Generate NDA from template | EUR 20/mo subscription + 1–2h research + risk of wrong clauses | From … per generation (40 credits) — vetted DE template, instant PDF/DOCX |
| Refine clause (adjust liability) | Multiple prompts, no diff, no audit | Redline diff, version history, quality score — price depends on the scope of the change and is shown before every revision |
| Lawyer review in a dispute | Lawyer starts from zero: from EUR 250 initial consultation | Case file + analysis + versions handed over in one click: significantly shorter mandate |
