You create the client in DATEV. The audit-proof GwG file is built automatically.
No second tool, no duplicate entry. Legalian reads the client from DATEV and checks it automatically in the background - the cleared file is ready to download, and automatic write-back into DATEV isn't part of the integration.
Two steps. You only do the first.
The file flows from DATEV straight into the automatic GwG check.

Built for German practices and their duty of care
Hosted in Germany, audit-proof under GwG and natively connected to DATEV - three reasons practices trust Legalian.
Hosted in Germany
Your client data stays in German data centers. Confidentiality under §203 StGB preserved.
Audit-proof under GwG
Every UBO is source-backed, every step documented. Your files survive the chamber audit.
DATEV Integration
Native DATEV integration, not a bolt-on tool. The client comes straight from your DATEV - the cleared file doesn't flow back automatically.
