Is Drift legit?

You’re probably dealing with some stress already — deadlines, paperwork, not knowing what happens next. So the last thing you need is to worry about whether the platform you’re using is trustworthy.

Here’s what I’d want to know if I were you.

📍 We’re a registered company based in Berlin

DriftLegal.ai is a UG (haftungsbeschränkt) — a registered limited liability company in Germany. Our office is based at CIC Berlin, and if you’d like to meet in person, just reach out to schedule a time.

We comply with German commercial, data protection, and consumer laws.

⚖️ All legal services are delivered by licensed immigration lawyers

We only work with lawyers who are:

  • Admitted to the German bar (Rechtsanwaltkammer)

  • Specialized in immigration law

  • Qualified to represent you before authorities

They set their own legal fees and invoice directly for the legal services they provide.

🧠 We’re built by immigrants — for immigrants

We started Drift based on personal experience with the German immigration system.

Our team understands the stress, the uncertainty, and what’s at stake — because we’ve lived it.

We’re building the kind of support we wish we had.

💸 We’re backed by impact-driven investors

Drift is funded by leading impact VCs who care deeply about making legal systems more fair and accessible.

They’ve supported us not just because of the market — but because they believe in the problem we’re solving.

✅ You get expertise, not just software

You’ll work with a human case manager who:

  • Tracks your application

  • Coordinates with your lawyer

  • Helps you stay on top of what’s next

  • Responds within 24 hours on weekdays

This means less guesswork and more peace of mind.

🔒 Your data is protected

We follow GDPR standards and use secure infrastructure to store your documents. Your case data is only shared with your lawyer and the people directly supporting your application.

🧾 We stand by our work

If an error on our side — or your lawyer’s — affects your application, we’ll pay for your reapplication. If you’re unhappy with your experience, start a chat and we'll make it right.
