Our take
Automation in writing has become a point of contention for many, but one thing that can be agreed on is that contract drafting is an arduous and time-consuming task. Traditional contract automation tools use a highly specific coding language that’s notoriously difficult to get to grips with, even if you’re well versed in it. Avvoka saves companies time with its powerful no-code editor editor, allowing any legal document (whatever complexity) to be automated in rapid time.
The aim is for the solution to be intuitive to use even by the tech-illiterate, with Avvoka’s platform already being used by leading global law firms like Allen & Overy and in-house legal teams like Warner Bros Discovery, McDonald’s. and Gymshark among others. As a profitable, organic tech company, Avvoka’s an outlier but it’s still ambitious – doubling in size by any metric during the course of 2022.
2023 is all about international growth for Avvoka (its platform can be used for any language contract), with a new office location opening in the US in the first quarter of the year and an Australian base to follow.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Avvoka
Alex Le (People Operations Lead)
- At Avvoka, we aim to be the best document automation generation company in the next five years. Achieving this vision requires innovation, creativity, and collaboration, which flourish in a diverse and inclusive environment. Diversity of people, background, and lived experience allows us to better curate our approach for our global clients while empowering us to be our best, authentic selves.
- As the Head of People, I believe that creating a diverse and inclusive workplace starts with intentional hiring, equitable processes, and a culture that prioritizes belonging and psychological safety. Our hiring practices I've implemented focus on acknowledging conscious and unconscious biases and taking steps to minimize them, so candidates from all walks of life have the opportunity. Beyond hiring, we are always looking to improve our equitable career progression tracks, encouraging open conversations about personal growth, feedback, and opportunities.
