DocIQ · Building Swiss legal AI since 2017

Since 2017Founder · Swiss legal AI
01

Problem

Build one of the first Swiss platforms applying AI and NLP to legal documents, and keep extending it as the market shifts from NLP to LLMs to court-grade anonymisation, while meeting CH/DACH expectations on data residency, multi-language, and Swiss legal-market procurement.

02

Approach

Founded the company in Zug in 2017 (Contract Vault GmbH). Designed and shipped DocIQ 1.0 (2018) as enterprise document lifecycle management with contract analysis, metadata extraction and intelligent search. Scaled to production deployments at the Swiss Insurance Association (SVV), Laux Lawyers and Kaiser Odermatt & Partner. Rebuilt the platform from the ground up for the LLM era: Sphere (next-generation AI document intelligence) and Shield (court anonymisation for the Swiss judiciary, fine-tuned local NER + LLM, zero data persistence).

03

Outcome

Production at the Swiss Insurance Association, Laux Lawyers, and Kaiser Odermatt & Partner since 2021. Shield v1 (court anonymisation for the Swiss judiciary, fine-tuned local NER + LLM, zero data persistence) shipped 2025. Sphere + Shield v2 launched 2026: Word-native tracked changes, six integrated legal databases, AI Playbooks, court anonymisation rebuilt from the ground up. Continuously evolved as Swiss legal AI matured around it.
