How We Help

LawHawk supports law firms to streamline their processes, increase productivity, and stay competitive in an AI world. We work with our law firm customers to help them win more work and grow their firm’s share of the market. Our tailored solutions will give you sustainable competitive advantages, help you free up your legal talent, improve turnaround times, and confidently scale legal delivery.

 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.”

Cookman Law
 I told the team how quickly I drafted a single-settlor estate plan and their jaws dropped. I cannot overemphasize how much cleaner these are coming out than the [previous automation system] drafts. I got through all of the single-settlor drafts in just over an hour (compared to the 3-4 we were spending before on just the drafts, even on the more simple/straightforward matters)” 

Partners & Tools We Work With

The technology we use and recommend is designed to operate independently of existing systems (so it can be adopted immediately) while also being able to be integrated with your firm’s existing practice management and document systems.

We collaborate with like-minded partners across legal tech, document management, and integration services to ensure our clients get the best results fast.

Gene & Neha - 2

"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."

David NewportBusiness Owner

"...the nature of the whole process has significantly improved. Business owners can put all the required information into one platform, and their accountants can add information as well, which eliminates double-handling. It's a huge time saver."

David NewportBusiness Owner

"LawHawk has been very responsive and great to work with, helping turn my big ideas into reality."

David NewportBusiness Owner

"LawHawk facilitated the whole process... They make sure the transition and whole system is set up really well"

Sam BaileySenior Legal Counsel, Air New Zealand

"It was important to us to have a local provider as part of the solution - first, to ensure we had a high level of responsiveness and secondly, to support local business"

Sam BaileySenior Legal Counsel, Air New Zealand

"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, LayBuy

"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, Laybuy

"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

"People at Foodies who have used our automated contracts love that we have embraced legal innovation, with many really enjoying the process. It's not just the legal team who have been impressed by it and how easy it is to use. It is starting to represent significant time savings for other departments as well as ours."

Julian BenefieldAssociate General Counsel

"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."

Julian BenefieldAssociate General Counsel

"Their ability to look at our problem, and help us identify our requirements, has been amazing. They're lawyers as well as software developers and they've got to know us."

Yazmin JunedAssociate General 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 JunedAssociate General 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 RidenGeneral 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."

Tila HoffmanSpecial Counsel & Business Transformation Manager, MinterEllisonRuddWatts

Tila HoffmanSpecial Counsel & Business Transformation Manager, MinterEllisonRuddWatts

"LawHawk are, in my opinion, hands down the best service provider we use. We'll definitely be working with them in the future."

Ian MacKenzieHead of Legal, NZGIF
"We've always had to find ways of working smarter. We needed to find ways to automate processes that were repeatable and were taking up time, so that we could free up capacity for high value tasks."
Ian MacKenzieHead of Legal, NZGIF

"Initial delivery was very quick - only 3 weeks after we signed the contract, and the general functionality all worked straight away."

Phil HebdenCommercial Manager, Armstrong Downes Commercial

"It's an absolute success story. Our subcontractors are now signing agreements instantly off their mobile phones as they leave the pre-let meetings."

Phil HebdenCommercial Manager, Armstrong Downes Commercial

"Just do it. It saves so much time. It's not just a benefit from a financial point of view, but culturally for your staff too - which is priceless."

Phil HebdenCommercial Manager, Armstrong Downes Commercial

"Using the online contract template has allowed us to gain efficiencies and cost savings in terms of staff time. What previously took hours now takes minutes."

Neha GoyalLegal Operations Manager, Victoria University of Wellington

"[LawHawk] are also proactive. When they're presented with an idea or a pain point, they're able to provide a practical solution using language that is easily understandable by people who may not be so good with technology"

Neha GoyalLegal Operations Manager, Victoria University of Wellington

"[LawHawk] have been quite instrumental in creating a legal operations network and introducing people together and allowing various clients to speak to each other."
