From medical precision to legal innovation: how Matti Tillander’s scientific thinking transforms dispute resolution

The intersection of precision and purpose in legal technology

In the world of medical imaging, precision is everything. For Matti, who holds a PhD in physics, this meant honing technologies to the nanometre. Now, he applies that same exactness to developing AI solutions for law. At Aavalynx, every line of code is built with purpose, empowering lawyers to do what they do best—fight for justice.

“My foundation in physics taught me how to break down complex systems into solvable problems. It’s a skill that’s just as relevant in law as it is in science,” Matti explains.

Optimising legal workflows with AI

Lawyers deserve tools that don’t just simplify tasks but actively make their work lives better. Legal professionals often drown in time-consuming tasks like document review, case management, and litigation preparation.

Aavalynx’s AI platform, Sisu, powered by Matti’s expertise, is revolutionising legal workflow optimisation. By automating repetitive processes and ensuring no detail is overlooked, our tools allow lawyers to spend more time on strategic thinking and client relationships.

“I’m energised by technically challenging problems, but my real passion lies in creating solutions that make a real difference,” says Matti. “That’s why we’ve built tools that not only work but truly help lawyers focus on their clients and cases.”

Redefining dispute resolution technology

Matti creates AI solutions that balance sophistication with usability. Drawing on his background in designing robust systems, he ensures Aavalynx’s tools meet the highest standards of reliability.

Aavalynx’s AI platform, Sisu, is built to think like a lawyer, freeing professionals from manual tasks while improving accuracy and outcomes.“Impactful technology is about more than algorithms; it’s about creating systems people trust and rely on,” Matti notes. “In law, trust is paramount, and that’s what our platform delivers.”

Creating human-centred legal technology solutions

Matti believes that great technology doesn’t just solve problems; it enhances people. “AI should support, not overshadow human expertise,” he says. Guided by this philosophy, Aavalynx’s solutions address lawyers’ practical needs while preserving the human touch at the heart of dispute resolution.

“Turning technical complexity into practical, user-centred solutions is at the heart of everything I do,” Matti explains. “It’s the bridge between innovation and real-world impact.”

Why law needs heroes like Matti

Law is in crisis. Clients are overcharged, lawyers are overworked, and disputes take too long to resolve. Aavalynx exists to change this narrative, and Matti’s leadership is central to our mission. With his deep technical expertise and dedication to human-centred innovation, he’s transforming legal AI into a force for progress.

“Law needs heroes, but they don’t have to wear capes. Sometimes, they’re just people who love solving problems,” Matti concludes.

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to the new era of dispute resolution
