At Aavalynx, we are not just building AI tools. We are reshaping how the law works. And when it comes to building the backbone of that vision, few are better suited than Lauri Hyry.
He is a co-founder, with a steady presence that anchors the team. Lauri is part strategist, part operator, and fully committed to making the law more human. He is the architect behind the machine, making sure it does not just run. It runs with purpose.
With a background in applied mathematics and two decades in tech entrepreneurship, Lauri is the kind of leader who stays sharp when things get complex. He has helped build multiple tech businesses from the ground up, scaling one Finnish interpretation platform to national dominance in just six years. But what drives him is not just growth. It is impact.
“I feel building a good business with cool people is a way to make the world a better place,” he says, and he means it.
At Aavalynx, that mission comes to life by fixing what is broken in dispute resolution.
Lauri is not here for vanity metrics or buzzword bingo. He is the one making sure the platform and the company are built on rock-solid foundations. Strategy? He is on it. Funding? Handled. Team-building? Absolutely.
But what sets Lauri apart is his obsession with creating smart systems that actually work for people. Whether it is mapping out how Sisu by Aavalynx should evolve or ensuring every workflow is frictionless, his role is part business brain, part conscience.
“Reducing disputes, long hours, and unnecessary travel is not just efficient. It is humane. We have the chance to make lawyers' lives better.”
Lauri’s drive is not all logic. He is deeply moved by the plight of animals and increasingly dedicates time and resources to causes that promote animal welfare. That same empathy infuses the way he builds businesses. He believes strongly in designing organisations that prioritise purpose and people, not just profit.
In a company like Aavalynx, built on integrity, honesty, and a strong belief that legal talent deserves a more sustainable path, that makes him the perfect fit.
As co-founder of Aavalynx, Lauri’s work is mostly behind the scenes. But make no mistake, he is one of the main forces propelling Sisu forward. His fingerprints are on everything from the design of the legal AI platform, to the way we operate internally, to how we help clients resolve litigation and international arbitration cases faster, cheaper, and more transparently.
His approach is quiet, considered, and relentless. While others chase the next flashy feature, Lauri ensures Sisu delivers substance: a legal technology solution that actually helps in-house lawyers and dispute resolution firms get better results.
Lauri Hyry proves that you do not need to be loud to lead a revolution. You just need vision, discipline, and care. Whether it is in the code of a dispute resolution platform or the values that shape our company, Lauri’s influence is clear. Be smart, be kind, and do not stop until it works.

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.
