Client Overview
Schulz & Partner Rechtsanwaltskanzlei u. Unternehmensberater (Schulz & Partner) is a German boutique law firm specializing in professional debt counseling, known for guiding clients through highly regulated financial processes with precision. The firm combines deep legal expertise with operational innovation, advancing modern, forward-looking process improvements. Faced with increasing volumes of creditor data checks and proof-of-income evaluations, Schulz & Partner set out to overcome the inefficiencies of traditional, document-heavy legal workflows—where manual data extraction and verification slowed cycle times and introduced compliance risks. To improve speed, consistency, and reliability while maintaining rigorous audit trails, the firm aimed to reduce manual burden and establish a new benchmark for accuracy in financial assessments.
AI streamlines financial eligibility checks in a highly regulated sector
Schulz & Partner, in partnership with cronos automation, reimagined its verification workflows by combining UiPath Document Understanding™ with AI agents and human oversight. Previously, staff manually extracted creditor details from unstructured PDFs and cross-checked them against internal databases, often slowed by inconsistent naming conventions or missing entries. Now, robots ingest documents, extract structured data, and update records automatically. AI agents built with Agent Builder in UiPath Studio validate extracted information against the firm’s master data, suggest corrections for discrepancies, and flag uncertain cases for review in UiPath Action Center. A parallel agentic automation evaluates proof-of-income documents, handling eligibility checks that once required manual intervention.
These integrated solutions have streamlined case handling, reduced verification cycles from an average 15 minutes to 60 seconds, increased accuracy, and helped safeguard compliance. By embedding an agentic automation framework, Schulz & Partner is optimizing internal operations while setting the stage to scale similar innovations across the legal services sector.
Outcomes:
Streamlined complex verification work by transforming manual, document-heavy reviews into a faster, more consistent flow—reducing effort on routine checks and freeing teams to focus on higher-value analysis
Improved accuracy and confidence across creditor and income assessments by standardizing how information was extracted, validated, and reviewed, helping the firm make decisions with greater clarity and reliability
Strengthened compliance and auditability by creating a clear, end-to-end trail of every action, correction, and exception, giving Schulz & Partner a more trustworthy and resilient verification process
