Haavind Digital

Technology and digital development are at the core of our business. Our digital services are easy to use and streamline collaboration processes.

Digital transformation creates new opportunities and conditions for our customers, and also changes how we work in Haavind. Technology and digitalisation are at the core of our business.

Our philosophy is that technology should be used to serve humans, not the other way around. Digital solutions should simplify our work and help us provide better services more efficiently.

Below is an overview of some of the digital tools Haavind uses, and the development measures we have taken to ensure we deliver the most relevant and effective legal services possible.

Haavind Cortex

Much of the work we do as attorneys is to organizing contracts or other documentation and ensuring that everything is in place. It’s often necessary to adapt this work to suit the particular case, but most of the time we can be more efficient by starting with existing templates. Throughout our years in practice, Haavind has developed an archive containing a wide range of templates, sample documents and checklists that help our attorneys work efficiently.

In order to streamline our work on agreements and other transaction documents, we have developed an advanced, automated platform that can generate documents based on the client’s templates, or using our own.

Through automation, we are able to produce high-quality legal documents much more quickly than if we were to construct them manually.
