The €29 Alternative to a €300/Hour Lawyer: Akordans Case Assessment
A lawyer would charge you €300 to €400 per hour to do what Akordans' Case Assessment does for €29.
That is not an exaggeration. A proper legal assessment of a commercial dispute — reviewing your evidence, researching applicable laws and regulations, analysing the strength of your position, identifying counterarguments — requires hours of qualified professional time. At standard legal rates, that is €600 to €1,200 before any action has been taken.
Akordans' AI does the same work. It reads your evidence. It researches the laws that apply to your situation across every relevant jurisdiction. It produces a professional written assessment of your legal position. And it delivers a downloadable PDF report you can use immediately — in direct negotiation, in correspondence with the other party, or in any subsequent legal proceedings.
All of this for €29. And crucially — you do not need the other party to agree to anything.
Who This Is For
The Case Assessment is for anyone who needs to understand their legal position clearly before deciding what to do next:
- You have been unpaid and want to know exactly how strong your claim is before approaching the other party
- You have received a legal threat and want to understand whether it has merit
- You are considering taking a dispute to court and want an independent assessment before committing to legal fees
- You want a professional document to present to the other party as leverage in direct negotiation
- You need to know which laws and regulations apply to your situation across different countries
The Case Assessment works regardless of what the other party does. You pay €29. You get your assessment. End of story.
What the Assessment Covers
Your Case Assessment is a structured professional document covering nine sections:
1. Case Overview — A neutral summary of the dispute as you have presented it.
2. Legal Position — A clear assessment of where you stand legally, with specific reference to applicable laws and regulations.
3. Strength of Claim — An honest rating: Strong, Moderate, or Weak — with detailed reasoning. We do not provide false comfort.
4. Evidence Assessment — What your evidence proves, what it does not prove, and what additional evidence would strengthen your position.
5. Regulatory and Legal Framework — The specific laws, directives, and regulations that apply to your dispute — including jurisdiction-specific rules where relevant.
6. Arguments in Your Favour — The strongest legal arguments supporting your position.
7. Potential Counterarguments — What the other party may argue, and how to address those arguments.
8. Recommended Next Steps — Practical, prioritised recommendations for what to do next.
9. Resolution Options — Your options, from direct negotiation to formal legal proceedings, with an honest assessment of each.
The Regulatory Research Advantage
This is where Akordans' AI genuinely changes the equation.
Understanding which laws apply to your dispute requires knowing the regulatory framework across every relevant jurisdiction. A service contract between a Belgian company and a Dutch supplier involves questions of EU commercial law, Belgian contract law, Dutch law, and potentially sector-specific regulations in both countries.
A lawyer would bill you for every hour spent researching this. Akordans' AI does it automatically. The regulatory research is included in the €29 fee — not billed separately.
What You Receive
When your assessment is complete, you receive:
- A full written assessment document viewable in your Akordans account
- A downloadable PDF with Akordans watermark and certification
- A clear recommended next step
The PDF is yours to use as you see fit. Present it to the other party. Share it with your own lawyer. File it with a court as supporting documentation. Use it as the basis for a direct negotiation.
What Happens Next
If your assessment confirms a strong claim and you want to attempt formal resolution, Akordans' mediation service lets you invite the other party to resolve the dispute together — both parties pay €39.50 each, removing any perception of bias.

But many disputes are resolved at the assessment stage — not because of any formal process, but because the other party receives a professional document demonstrating clearly that an independent AI has assessed the situation and found against them. That document changes conversations.
