Invoices
DEPLAW automatically calculates RVG and GKG fee items from the claims table, generates legally compliant ZUGFeRD invoices, and posts them DATEV-compatible — with no separate accounting program.
app.dep.law| Item | Factor | Amount |
| Business fee No. 2300 RVG | 1.3× | 1,078.40 |
| Settlement fee No. 1000 RVG | 1.5× | 1,244.31 |
| Expense allowance No. 7002 RVG | — | 20.00 |
At many law firms, invoicing is still where case management and accounting break apart: amounts from the case are transferred by hand into a separate invoicing program. DEPLAW closes this gap by running RVG and GKG calculation, invoice creation, and DATEV posting directly from the case file — with no additional program and no duplicate data entry.
RVG and GKG Amounts Directly from the Claims Table
Business fee, settlement fee, and expense allowance are calculated automatically from the amount in dispute stored in the claims table — or alternatively from the amount recovered or the outstanding total. Court fees under the GKG can be added automatically as well and freely combined with further flat fees. In one concrete example, an amount in dispute of €38,000 results in a net amount of €2,342.71 after the business and settlement fee plus flat fee — €2,787.82 gross.
Central Templates Instead of One-Off Invoices
Invoice templates bundle several line items into one complete billing package, for example for an out-of-court settlement or a first-instance lawsuit. Within the workflow, the right template is selected automatically, the invoice is generated, and it is sent to the designated party — via beA, email, or filed in the online case file. If a flat fee changes centrally, it takes effect immediately across all running workflows, with no need to adjust each template individually. The system is also multi-tenant: multiple law firms or legal service providers can be billed separately and in parallel.
ZUGFeRD-Compliant and Posted to DATEV Instantly
Every generated invoice includes an embedded ZUGFeRD XML for legally compliant electronic invoice exchange and, in the same step, is posted DATEV-compatible to the appropriate general ledger account. This makes it immediately ready for the annual financial statement with the tax advisor — with no media break between invoicing and accounting.

From the claims table to a sent invoice, no detours.
After a successful out-of-court settlement, DEPLAW calculates the RVG fees from the amount in dispute, generates the invoice including the ZUGFeRD XML, and posts it DATEV-compatible — the entire process runs as part of the workflow.
Invoicing across many case files
Every case file, one automatically generated invoice.
Once the right template is determined, DEPLAW generates, sends, or cancels invoices automatically — in parallel across any number of case files and recipients, posted DATEV-compatible.
