Partner programme for law firms

You advise on the law. We build the evidence that proves conformity.

The Comply.Land partner programme for law firms advising on the Cyber Resilience Act.

We deliver the technical evidence, and your firm keeps the client relationship.

The Cyber Resilience Act is a market access regime. Without a Declaration of Conformity backed by engineering evidence, your client's product cannot stay on the EU market.

We deliver that evidence, and your firm keeps the client relationship.

Ways to work together

Refer, subcontract or co-deliver

01

Technical referral

Refer. You scope the legal work. We contract directly with your client for classification, documentation and testing.

02

Under your engagement

Subcontract. We work under your instruction. This can be structured so technical findings sit within your privileged file, subject to your jurisdiction.

03

Joint workshops

Co-deliver. Co-branded CRA sessions for your clients' legal, product and engineering teams together.

Choose a model per client or as a standing arrangement.

Leads: owns the deliverable. Supports: contributes input. Refers: typically outside practice scope.

Insurance is not a conformity strategy

Cover pays for losses after the fact. It cannot file a 24 hour early warning with ENISA, produce an SBOM, or put a withdrawn product back on the EU market.

Insurers increasingly exclude losses that arise from non-compliance with mandatory regulation. A dated, retained conformity record is what makes a manufacturer insurable in the first place.

No one should sign blindly

The Declaration of Conformity is signed on behalf of the manufacturer, often by the head of legal or the CEO. The signature states a technical fact: the product meets Annex I. Counsel confirms the client may make that statement. We make sure it is true.

Before anyone signs, send us the file. Our experts return a pass or fail determination within 2 working days, free of charge.

Frequently asked questions for law firms

Do we keep the client relationship?

Yes. In the referral model you scope the legal work and we contract directly with your client for the technical work. In the subcontract model we work under your instruction.

Can technical findings sit inside our privileged file?

The subcontract model can be structured so technical findings sit within your privileged file, subject to your jurisdiction. Whether privilege applies is a matter for your firm and the law that governs the engagement.

Which model should we choose?

That depends on the client. You can choose referral, subcontract or co-delivery per client, or agree a standing arrangement. We discuss it in the introductory call.

What do co-delivered workshops look like?

Co-branded CRA sessions for your clients' legal, product and engineering teams together.

Can you check a client's existing CRA documents?

Yes. Send us the file. Our experts return a pass or fail determination within 2 working days, free of charge.
