The art of transformation: how Oriane Cannac is reshaping dispute resolution

Law needs fresh perspectives

With qualifications spanning Paris, New York, and London, Oriane understands the nuances of law across borders. She’s seen the inefficiencies and frustrations of international disputes firsthand. “As lawyers, we spend too much time on tasks that should be optimised – and not enough time on strategy,” she says. “I want to build tools that enable lawyers to focus on thinking creatively, getting results, and delivering better outcomes for clients.”

Oriane’s global perspective fuels innovation in our legal AI platform, Sisu by Aavalynx. As Chief Legal Architect and Head of Client Relations at Aavalynx, Oriane is designing the blueprint for the future of dispute resolution.

Where art meets legal

Oriane believes lawyers are, first and foremost, humans – with interests and passions that go beyond law, and when harnessed in the right way, that make them better lawyers. Her virtual gallery, Law & Art, showcases the creative side of legal professionals. Her goal? To challenge the rigid perception that the world has of legal professionals, and to highlight the creative thinking that fuels great legal strategy.

“Creativity and precision aren’t opposites – they’re partners,” she explains. “Lawyers need space to think outside the box. The right technology makes that easier.” This mindset is at the heart of Sisu, a technology that enhances human potential.

Reimagining legal workflow optimisation

At Aavalynx, Oriane ensures our AI tackles the tedious, the repetitive, the complex. It’s not about replacing lawyers; it’s about giving them the edge to excel. “True innovation doesn’t just solve problems, it creates new possibilities,” she says.

Much like a traditional architect designs spaces that fit human needs, Oriane builds AI-powered tools tailored to the way disputes lawyers think. Working in synergy with the Aavalynx tech team, she ensures that Sisu by Aavalynx streamlines the tedious tasks, optimises the existing processes, and creates new opportunities for legal strategy.

Making AI work for lawyers

Legal AI is only as powerful as the lawyers who use it. That’s why Oriane plays a dual role in making Sisu by Aavalynx truly work for disputes lawyers.

As Head of Client Relations, Oriane ensures lawyers have the resources, training, and insights they need to fully harness Sisu’s capabilities. It’s not just about providing the tool, it’s about making sure it delivers real impact in legal practice.

Her aim? To change the legal landscape – to reimagine what it means to be a lawyer and what it means to be a client. By ensuring artificial intelligence is truly adopted by lawyers across the globe.

Optimisation, innovation, and… perhaps a little bit of rebellion.

With a first-class degree from Oxford, triple legal qualifications, and years in elite international arbitration law firms, Oriane has always challenged the status quo. “The legal profession is a traditional one. It’s old school, and there is beauty in that. But the risk for lawyers – who are by nature slightly risk-adverse – is to wait too long before seizing the opportunities that AI has to offer to the world of law. If we can optimise our work, to the benefit of our clients, and harness AI in a way that makes us better lawyers, then shouldn’t we be focusing our energy on precisely that?”

Oriane adds: “I think like an engineer. Every process that can be optimised should be optimised. Now, add AI into the mix – welcome to Aavalynx.”

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to the new era of dispute resolution

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.
