Dominic Jones brings more than 35 years of experience across elite law, investment banking and company leadership. Dual-qualified in England and France, he trained at Slaughter and May and Clifford Chance before moving in-house at Morgan Stanley. There, he didn’t just advise the business. He became part of it. His legal career evolved into capital markets and strategic leadership, proving that legal minds don’t have to stay in the legal box.
He later became a partner at Mourant and went on to chair investment manager Ravenscroft, supporting its sale to Titan Wealth in 2024. Today, he serves as Non-Executive Chair of Nordic Capital’s Funds VIII and IX. The thread through it all is big picture thinking, fast execution and a refusal to accept systems that don’t serve outcomes.
Dominic doesn’t just move between industries. He challenges how they operate. He’s worked across complex sectors, helping organisations improve outcomes and make smarter decisions.
At Morgan Stanley, what began as a legal counsel role expanded into investment banking and structuring equity derivatives. As a partner at Mourant, his role evolved from provision of legal advice to a focus on building a successful HR outsourcing business, now part of Computershare. At Ravenscroft, he stepped into board leadership and helped deliver a successful exit.
His focus has never been on staying in the lane. It has always been on making the lane faster.
Dominic has stepped beyond legal practice to shape the future of it. At Aavalynx, he brings sharp legal instinct and a builder’s mindset to help steer vision, strategy and growth. His role is to make legal AI deliver in the real world of disputes and high-stakes decisions.
“Aavalynx brings together everything I love. And the thrill of building something that works better.”
He helps shape a legal AI platform designed for effectiveness. Faster answers. Smarter thinking. Stronger outcomes.
Dominic thrives where old models fail. His strength lies in clarity under pressure, structure at scale and a calm instinct for execution. Fluent in English and French, with a working knowledge of Italian, he has advised cross-border teams, led through transitions and stayed grounded in people and outcomes. Based in Jersey, Dominic balances work with family life, time outdoors and the occasional long afternoon in the kitchen.
Legal transformation isn’t about buzzwords. It’s about people with the courage to question systems and the experience to rebuild them. Dominic Jones brings both. His career spans law firms, boardrooms and capital markets. At Aavalynx, he is helping build a legal model where strategy leads. Lawyers are treated as protectors and partners. Momentum matters more than legacy.
He is not watching change. He is building it.
What is Aavalynx?
Aavalynx is a law technology company transforming how disputes are resolved. We combine elite dispute resolution expertise with advanced AI, offering an AI-powered platform called Sisu – a Finnish word representing perseverance. Our solution makes dispute resolution faster, more cost-effective, and more human.
What is Sisu by Aavalynx?
Sisu is Aavalynx’s AI-native dispute resolution platform that supports every phase of a case – from early assessment to hearings. It assists lawyers (whether in-house teams, law firms, or arbitrators) by automating repetitive tasks, enhancing strategy, and providing tools such as chronology building, document browsing, and metadata extraction. Think of it as a tireless sidekick that never misses a detail.
What is Aavagard?
Aavagard is Aavalynx’s sister law firm. Its elite lawyers leverage Sisu, the AI-powered platform by Aavalynx, to resolve disputes faster, smarter, and at lower cost. You can use Sisu without engaging Aavagard, though many clients ask Aavagard’s lawyers for support with Sisu-related tasks, benefiting from their deep dispute resolution insight and AI expertise.
How is Aavalynx different from other legal tech solutions?
Aavalynx stands apart by combining cutting-edge AI with deep legal expertise, exclusively geared towards dispute resolution. Unlike generic legal tech tools, Sisu supports every stage of the workflow – from pre-action assessments to hearings – saving lawyers time and facilitating faster, smarter strategies.
We are also unique because we offer elite dispute resolution advice through our sister law firm, Aavagard, for those who prefer comprehensive support with Sisu, the AI-powered legal platform by Aavalynx.
How does Aavalynx ensure data security?
Confidentiality and cyber security are our top priorities. We integrate with trusted platforms like SharePoint to ensure data is stored securely, maintaining strict compliance with all relevant regulations.
Aavalynx ensures data security with enterprise-grade protection at every level. Built on Microsoft’s ecosystem, our platform integrates seamlessly with trusted business tools while maintaining strict security controls. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with access restricted through two-factor authentication.
What is the best AI platform for lawyers?
Generic AI solutions may work for many areas of law, but for dispute resolution, a specially tailored platform is essential. Sisu by Aavalynx is designed specifically for disputes, integrating seamlessly with your workflow, automating menial tasks, and ensuring no detail is overlooked – all while cutting costs and saving time. Our goal is to become the most useful AI for in-house teams, law firms, and arbitrators.
How does AI improve dispute resolution?
AI optimises workflows by automating repetitive tasks, conducting legal research, extracting key case details, and building strategies more swiftly. It also improves accuracy, allowing lawyers to concentrate on winning cases and advocating for clients.
Is AI reliable in the legal industry?
With proper human oversight, AI can significantly boost accuracy and efficiency. Sisu, the AI-powered platform by Aavalynx, undergoes rigorous testing to ensure dependable results while safeguarding sensitive data. One of our key principles is that human lawyers remain integral to the process: we make it fast and straightforward for them to check Sisu’s work.
Is Sisu only for big law firms?
Not at all. Sisu is built for any lawyer dealing with disputes – whether you’re working in-house, at a law firm of any size, or serving as an arbitrator. Its flexibility suits diverse needs, helping you deliver stronger results.
Can I use Sisu without hiring Aavagard’s legal services?
Absolutely. Sisu by Aavalynx is available as a standalone AI-powered platform for lawyers and in-house legal teams who prefer to manage disputes independently. It integrates seamlessly into your existing workflow, enhancing both efficiency and strategic output.
That said, Aavagard – Aavalynx’s sister law firm – uses Sisu to provide top-tier, cost-effective legal services. Aavagard’s lawyers are frequently asked to assist with Sisu-related tasks because of their strategic dispute resolution prowess and AI know-how. If you’d prefer a more hands-off approach or need extra legal support, Aavagard is here to help.
How can I start using Sisu by Aavalynx?
We’re currently working with select clients. If you’re keen to transform your dispute resolution process, reach out for a demo or to join our pilot programme.
What do we mean by giving power back to clients, and joy back to lawyers?
The legal sector is stuck in the Jurassic era. Companies, individuals, and governments collectively spend vast sums on legal fees each year to fight disputes. Many law firms bill by the hour, which incentivises them to produce a high volume of work over a long timeline, leading to disputes that can drag on for years.
Large case files make manual analysis, research, and drafting inefficient, so clients often feel overcharged and under-heard, while lawyers burn out. Law firm profit margins can be as high as 80%, signalling a sector ripe for disruption.
Thanks to AI, clients can regain control over a case’s speed, cost, and outcome, while lawyers – freed from the heavy lifting – can focus on strategy and rediscover the joy in their work.
Ready to transform the way you handle disputes? Aavalynx is here to help you save time, cut costs, and focus on impactful outcomes. Let us show you how our AI-powered platform can make the resolution of even the most complex disputes faster, cost-efficient, and more human.
Start today—because the future of law won’t wait.
