Meet Markus Kuusisto, a visionary at the crossroads of law and technology. With generative AI in his toolkit, he's not just streamlining legal disputes, he’s redefining how technology empowers lawyers to work smarter, not harder.
With over 20 years of experience in cloud engineering, machine learning, and digital twins, Markus has consistently delivered innovations that drive meaningful change. For him, Aavalynx represents a unique opportunity to transform dispute resolution – a field long burdened by inefficiencies and high costs – through the advancements in artificial intelligence.
Legal disputes are slow, costly, and riddled with repetitive work. That’s where AI comes in. At the core of our approach is the transformative potential of large language models (LLMs). “LLMs are more than just tools; they’re catalysts for change,” he explains.
By handling laborious tasks like document review and drafting, this AI frees lawyers to focus on strategy, negotiation, and delivering wins. The shift is not just about efficiency, it’s about elevating the practice of law.
Innovation needs direction. Drawing from decades of experience, Markus brings strategic focus to legal technology development. "Technology must serve a higher purpose," he emphasizes.
In dispute resolution, that purpose is clear: making justice more accessible. He envisions a future where dispute resolution isn’t a game of billable hours but a streamlined, strategic process that works for both lawyers and their clients.
The legal industry is undergoing a seismic shift. With a sharp focus on real legal challenges, Markus leads our tech team in developing AI solutions that don’t just digitise old processes but reimagine them.
“Lawyers don’t need gimmicks; they need AI they can trust,” he says. That means an AI platform designed to fit seamlessly into lawyers' workflows, while keeping confidentiality and security a top priority.
Aavalynx is here to empower lawyers and clients alike. This philosophy drives every technological decision, ensuring our solutions truly serve the legal community.
Under Markus’s leadership, our AI-driven legal services enhance human expertise. The result? Faster case resolutions, lower costs, and better outcomes for everyone involved. “Our goal is to empower lawyers to achieve better outcomes while reclaiming their time,” he says.
As Aavalynx evolves, one thing is clear: the future of dispute resolution is smarter, faster, and more human. And with Markus at the helm, that future is already being built.
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.
