We help lawyers work better with their clients

We are not interested in building AI lawyers or adding steps to existing processes.

Instead, we help lawyers become the trusted advisors their clients need.

The ZOA Legal story

2018

Before evolving into ZOA Legal, we began as ZOA GDPR, driven by a clear need: businesses sought external expertise to navigate data protection compliance.

To address this, ZOA GDPR created an intuitive platform that streamlines collaboration between companies and their external counsel, enabling seamless compliance with data protection requirements.

since then

We discovered that the need for external support extends beyond data protection to many other compliance topics as regulations become increasingly complex.

Our customers also shared with us their dissatisfaction with how external experts deliver their knowledge in these areas.


This insight motivated us to develop better solutions for accessing expert knowledge, leading to the creation of the ZOA Privacy Bot for Microsoft Teams, making compliance expertise more accessible and actionable.

2025

Building on our success in data protection compliance, we expanded our vision to empower law firms to share their expertise across a wide range of practice areas. This evolution led to the creation of ZOA Legal, designed to help lawyers collaborate more effectively with their clients.

In early 2025, we are taking the next step by launching ZOA AI, enhancing how clients interact with expert knowledge to deliver an even more seamless experience.

ZOA is a product of SWISS FIN LAB GmbH, based in Zurich. We develop and distribute software solutions for law firms & consultancies in the legal & compliance space.
