Consider a logistics company in Riga (fintech, logistics and startups). A typical legal & professional services software engagement would start with client portals, then document ai, and finish the first release with time & billing — usually within 8–16 weeks.
Payments would run through SEPA Instant, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on on-time delivery rate, cost per drop and warehouse pick accuracy.

EU GDPR: compliance checklist for legal & professional services software
Before launch in Latvia, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Latvia customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Latvia.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for legal & professional services software in Latvia
For clients in Latvia we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
