Caelex for in-house legal counsel
One place to research the law and operationalize it — for in-house lawyers at satellite operators, launch providers, and space-sector companies.
Caelex serves in-house legal counsel at space companies on both sides of the work: Atlas is the counsel practice workspace (matters, deadlines, vault, drafting, AI research, primary-source corpus) for the research and legal-opinion side, and Comply operationalizes obligations into authorization dossiers, evidence, and deadlines. In-house teams get practice tooling plus compliance under one roof. Software is not legal advice.

Which Caelex products fit

How it works
1. Work matters in Atlas
Open a mandate, attach sources and deadlines, draft against the corpus, and research controlling articles across UN treaties, EU instruments, and national law — every citation deep-linked to the official portal.
2. Capture institutional knowledge
Annotate sources and matters with internal interpretations and memos; firm/team knowledge compounds in the workspace over time.
3. Operationalize in Comply
Hand the obligations to Comply, which derives the applicable article set for your operation, generates the authorization dossier, and tracks evidence and deadlines.
4. Stay ahead of change
Atlas flags source amendments in practice context; Comply propagates regulatory impact into live compliance posture.
Frequently asked questions
Is Caelex useful for an in-house legal team, not a law firm?
Yes. In-house counsel get both sides: Atlas for primary-source-linked legal research and opinion work, and Comply to operationalize the obligations into authorization, evidence, and deadlines for the company's actual operations.
How is this different from Caelex for law firms?
Same Atlas research database — but in-house teams typically pair it with Comply to run their own company's compliance, whereas external firms use Atlas primarily to advise multiple clients. Access to Atlas is sales-assisted in both cases.
Can Atlas back a formal legal opinion?
Atlas deep-links every article to the authoritative national primary-source portal (gesetze-im-internet.de, légifrance.gouv.fr, legilux.public.lu, etc.), so citations in an opinion trace to source. The AI-assisted research is a drafting aid scoped to your workspace, not a substitute for your professional judgment.
Does it cover export control questions?
Yes — ITAR, EAR, the EU Dual-Use Regulation, and national munitions lists are in scope, which is where in-house teams field the most cross-border product and collaboration questions.
