Background
Who is Wolfgang Stenzel?
Wolfgang Stenzel, LL.M., is an attorney in Graz with his practice at Tummelplatz in the heart of the city. He studied at the Vienna University of Economics and Business and passed the bar exam at the Vienna Court of Appeal in 2020 with distinction. He gained professional experience at renowned firms in Vienna and Graz before founding his own practice.
The practice areas are unusually broad and deliberately digital in orientation: startup and formation law, data protection and IT law, contract law and general terms, crypto and social media law, and family and inheritance law. What connects all areas: Stenzel advises clients who operate in a digital world and expects his own firm infrastructure to match the same pace and precision.
The Challenge
What used to be difficult.
For a new matter, the law firm needs the right power of attorney. Data must be captured, transferred into the template and provided for signature.
UNOY asks for the required client and case data in a structured way. The data is reused for the power of attorney and the case file.
This way, the workflow connects data capture, document and handover. The law firm keeps control of its templates and approvals.
Voice
The power-of-attorney tool has completely changed how we start a matter. What used to be email back-and-forth and paperwork is now a digital workflow, from the initial information through to the file in Advocat.

Clients
Data in · matter in Advocat
Stenzel carries the legal responsibility with his own professional liability. UNOY prepares every client request in a structured way. The attorney reviews, signs and sends.
Application
Connect details, signature and file.
The information captured is reused in the planned workflow. This creates a basis for reviewing and accepting the matter.
Onboarding
Client captured in structured form.
01 · Onboarding
The client opens the onboarding form and enters master data, contact information, and case-specific details. The form is dynamic: depending on the selected area of law, the correct mandatory fields appear (legal form for incorporations, counterparty name for representation, subject matter for litigation).
Power of Attorney
Template-based generation.
02 · Power of Attorney
UNOY suggests the appropriate type of power of attorney based on the area of law and case specifics. The attorney confirms or switches manually. The template is populated with variable fields: client data, counterparty name, subject matter, and scope of authority.
Processing rules
Standard power of attorney (litigation, representation, service): template generated · Edge case (incorporation, data protection representation, atypical situation): escalation to attorney with explanation · No match: stop, manual drafting required.
Signature
Client signs digitally.
03 · Signature
The client receives a link to sign digitally. The power of attorney is finalized in the same step. Relevant documents (ID, articles of association, evidence) can be uploaded immediately; UNOY assigns them to the file based on rules.
Advocat Import
Matter file created in Advocat.
04 · Advocat Import
After the attorney approval: all structured data, client master record, case data, power of attorney, documents, flow directly into Advocat. No duplicate entry, no manual transfer. The firm can begin substantive work from the moment of signature.
Findings
Develop professional templates yourself.
Authorised people can maintain the planned types of powers of attorney and details. Changes are reviewed before use.
The real gain lies in the chain. Client enters data → UNOY generates power of attorney → client signs digitally → UNOY creates the matter file in Advocat. Four steps that previously required four different systems and several days are now one continuous workflow.
The workflow focuses on the start of a matter: capturing data, preparing the power of attorney, signing it and handing it over to Advocat. Other law firm tasks remain separate.
Maintain templates in-house. Stenzel can create and change types of powers of attorney within the planned scope. The legal logic stays within the firm.
