"With greater accuracy from the automation, and the related review and approval processes, there's less chance a contract template can be completed incorrectly, which reduces the legal and project risk."

"For me, it's brilliant. I can just sit there watching requests come through. I can see them coming in. I can see them getting signed. I can see them going into SharePoint, all signed, all data tagged."

Tim RennieGeneral Counsel

"We've got a system that makes the workflow of a business broker easier and more efficient. That means more time talking to buyers and sellers, and less time chasing paper."

Sam BaileySenior Legal Counsel, Air New Zealand

"I think the benefit of working with LawHawk is that they help you focus your mind on what it is that you're trying to do. If you try and go for the most complex automation at the beginning, you'll probably just get nowhere... LawHawk has been critical for us in that regard."

Tim RennieGeneral Counsel

"I'm now meeting deadlines for filing, and have significantly improved the accuracy of my legal documentation... The processes are more efficient, which means I've achieved a major goal - that of time savings"

David PawsonDirector

"Automation means I know things are actually under control. The system is reliable, it's working, it removes that margin of error - that gives me business confidence and peace of mind."

David PawsonDirector

Yazmin JunedGeneral Counsel, Kāinga Ora

"LawHawk's document automation system means that there's not just a huge increase in productivity gain, but there's no compromise on quality."

Yazmin JunedGeneral Counsel, Kāinga Ora

"The time savings Kāinga Ora are seeing from the automation project are huge. Where we produce contracts using the automation we average a 75% reduction in the time taken relative to the time had we not used automation."

Bruce Riden(Former) General Counsel, Kāinga Ora

"We had to consider user experience - which comes at a cost - because traditionally users don't like change. So the more we could align an upgraded product to user needs, the better off we would be."

Julian FarberSolutions Architect, MinterEllisonRuddWatts

"LawHawk and ProLegalTech were instrumental in helping us come up with a solution when it became clear that the professional services fees others charged would be commercially impractical for a New Zealand law firm."

Let's explore how LawHawk can help your team work faster and more effectively

Our Approach

We work alongside you to understand your procurement and contracting processes and where technology and other improvements can make the biggest impact. Our co-design process ensures the solutions we build are practical, adopted quickly, and drive measurable outcomes. We don’t impose change, we support your change journey.

You’ll work directly with lawyers who are contracting experts and understand how you can get a more efficient process along with better contracting outcomes. We'll look to save you hours of drafting time, weeks of process time, and minimise risks of contract disputes or failed delivery.

We can use a range of technologies – including the Microsoft suite, PMS and DMS you’re already paying for – and pricing approaches that align with what you need and actually use. Wherever you are at, we can help you improve your outcomes over timeframes and budgets that meet your needs.

We don’t lock our customers in with long-term licences and minimum fees. Our customers can pay for what they actually use and stay for as long as they want.
