Example

Good day, my employer terminated me without notice yesterday. What can I do?

Good day. Termination without notice is time-critical. Please note: I do not provide legal advice. I capture your inquiry in structured form and immediately route it to our employment-law specialist Dr. Meier. Could you briefly confirm: 1. Was the termination written or verbal? 2. Are you an employee or executive? 3. What is the employer's name (for conflict check)?

Written, employee, the company is Müller AG.

Thank you. Your inquiry is captured and prioritized for forwarding to Dr. Meier. She will be in touch within 2 hours. Please have the termination letter and your employment contract ready for the first meeting.

What blocks law firms every day

High-end legal work competes with "does the client have a question" calls. That comes at the expense of mandates.

  • Clients expect immediate availability

    A client with a Friday-evening termination doesn't wait until Monday. Whoever isn't reachable often loses the mandate to the next firm.

  • Inquiries often don't match your profile

    You're a commercial law firm — but many inquiries concern family, tenancy, or inheritance law. The first call drags on until it's clear: not your case.

  • Reception as bottleneck

    Calls must be classified by phone — area of law, urgency, claim value. With three incoming calls at once, callers wait.

  • Client confidentiality is fundamental

    Professional secrecy under Art. 321 Swiss Criminal Code is non-negotiable. Generic chatbots in foreign clouds are unthinkable in a law firm.

Connected directly to your business system

Odeo connects directly to your law firm software through its existing interfaces, with no detour via middleware such as n8n or Zapier. Initial inquiries reach the system pre-structured, without your office having to retype them.

  • Via existing interfaces, for example REST API and webhooks
  • No middleware such as n8n or Zapier, data flows directly
  • If there is no interface, Sidora AG builds it

Check free slots

Slots for a first meeting on employment law are still free on Tuesday at 9:00 AM and Thursday at 4:30 PM, at the office or by video. Shall I record your request for one of these slots?

  • Check first-meeting slots

    Odeo reads free slots per area of law directly from your law firm software or calendar.

  • Hand over initial inquiries

    Area of law, urgency and opposing party for the conflict check reach your system as a structured record.

  • Notify the responsible person

    Odeo reports time-critical inquiries immediately by email, from Professional also in Slack or Microsoft Teams, from Enterprise by SMS.

What Odeo handles in your firm

Odeo gives no legal advice. What Odeo does: structure inquiries, classify by area of law, and escalate to the right person.

  • Capture initial inquiry in structured form

    Client name, contact channel, area of law, brief description of facts, urgency, possible conflict of interest — all structured in one inquiry.

  • Routing by area of law

    Commercial to the partner, tenancy to the junior team, criminal to the criminal-law specialist colleague. Odeo escalates per specialty.

  • Conflict-of-interest check

    Odeo recognizes potential opposing parties (counterpart name, company) and flags them for manual conflict review — before the first meeting takes place.

  • Appointment and document preparation

    Odeo politely requests relevant documents (termination, contract, draft complaint) and, with a connected calendar, offers free first-meeting slots.

  • Initial fee transparency

    Odeo explains hourly rates, flat fees, and possible cost consequences — based on your published fee principles. No promises, no estimates.

  • Deadline indicators

    For time-critical inquiries (notice period, complaint deadline, statute of limitations), Odeo flags urgency and escalates immediately, instead of landing in the standard inbox.

Built specifically for Swiss law firms

Client confidentiality is non-negotiable. Odeo is configured so it doesn't lower your legal standards — it extends them.

  • Swiss data residency available

    Hosted in Switzerland, built in-house by Sidora AG, FADP- and GDPR-compliant. Data stays in Switzerland as long as a local LLM is used; we run local LLMs such as Apertus, Llama or Mistral in the Enterprise plan on request at extra cost.

  • Clear advisory boundaries

    Odeo explicitly gives no legal advice. Answers are limited to structuring, routing, and explaining your firm content. This reduces liability risks.

  • Conflict keywords

    You define a list of conflict clients or opposing parties. Odeo automatically flags every new inquiry against the list, before the first meeting begins. This uses the escalation rules in the Enterprise plan.

  • Escalation per area of law

    Commercial to partner X, family to colleague Y, criminal to senior Z — by email, SMS, or Slack, depending on urgency. You define the rules. Slack is available from Professional, escalation rules and SMS from Enterprise.

Does Odeo give legal advice?

No. Odeo explicitly does not provide legal advice. The only task is structured pre-qualification: classify area of law, capture facts, assess urgency, prepare conflict review, and route to the responsible attorney. This reduces liability risks for your firm and respects the attorney monopoly.

Can Odeo be connected to our law firm software?

Yes. Odeo connects directly to your law firm software through its existing interfaces, such as a REST API or webhooks, with no middleware such as n8n or Zapier. If there is no interface, Sidora AG develops it. Odeo then hands over initial inquiries to the system in structured form and offers free slots for first meetings. You decide which data is transferred. Direct integrations are quoted per project and transparently in advance.

How is client confidentiality (Art. 321 SCC) preserved?

Odeo is hosted in Switzerland. Data stays in Switzerland as long as a local LLM is used; we run local LLMs such as Apertus, Llama or Mistral in the Enterprise plan on request at extra cost. Conversation data is not used to train external models. You can define escalation rules (Enterprise) and deletion rules that map professional secrecy. Sidora AG is a Swiss provider based in Winterthur.

Does Odeo recognize conflicts of interest?

Odeo supports the conflict check: you define a list of existing clients and opposing parties. Odeo automatically flags every new inquiry against the list and marks potential conflicts for manual review — before the first meeting takes place. The escalation rules required for this are included in the Enterprise plan.

Can Odeo book first-meeting appointments directly?

Yes, with a direct integration with your calendar or law firm software. Odeo then offers free slots, hands over the booking, and tells the client in the chat which documents to bring. Webhooks are included from the Professional plan; direct integrations are quoted per project.

How is Odeo set up without blocking the firm for weeks?

Setup under 30 minutes: you enter your firm website URL, Odeo automatically crawls all content. You then define the tone and, in the Enterprise plan, escalation rules and conflict keywords. The Sidora team supports the setup and provides templates for law firms.

What does Odeo cost for a small firm (2-5 attorneys)?

For a firm of this size, the Professional plan is typically sufficient: CHF 124/month annual billing (CHF 149 monthly) for 5,000 chats and all languages. Lead detection is available as an add-on for +CHF 49/month. Escalation rules are included in the Enterprise plan. For comparison, as our own model calculation: a secretary with 5 additional phone hours per week costs over CHF 15,000/year.
