Avvoka Headlines
An end to end repapering solution, from extracting data from old contracts to signing and storing new ones
Manual repapering processes can be slow and costly, and with SmartRepapering these processes can now be automated and executed in a fraction of the time. The product was designed in partnership with iManage and will be released as part of iManage’s new Solution Partner programme.
SmartRepapering allows users to leverage the power of iManage Extract’s AI tool (via a no-code integration) to analyse existing contracts, extract the relevant data points for repapering, then automatically generate the bespoke replacement contracts in Avvoka.
Take advantage of our pre-configured no-code integrations with iManage Work and iManage Extract.
Turn your standard-form repapering contracts into programmed templates on Avvoka and layer in your negotiation playbook.
Leverage the power of RAVN AI to extract data from historic contracts and send the data instantly to Avvoka to populate your pre-configured templates.
A large part of our mission at Avvoka has been to 'show' our tool rather than just 'tell' you about it. As a part of this we're excited to have officially launched our 14-day free trial earlier this year. This is your opportunity to experience Avvoka for yourself, explore our platform, and begin to realise the benefits that implementing Avvoka can have at your organisation.
We are thrilled to share that we've been ranked as Band 1 for Document Automation by Chambers and Partners!
With a number of ex-city lawyers making up the Avvoka team, it feels amazing to be recognised by such a prestigious publication. Thank you to our clients and collaborators for making this possible.

Automation Workshop Webinar

The idea is that participants will learn a whole new skill from the comfort of their homes which can be taken forwards and further developed.

Document Automation: Key tips for a successful adoption

Meet Simba! Uttara loves going back home to Singapore to reunite with her gorgeous dog. She misses him loads from London - he'd be the perfect companion for some cold winter cuddles.
Julian's picturesque painting
"Back at school I loved spending time in the art studies, so when lockdown came I had an opportunity to purchase some materials and have a go. Brushing off some cobwebs (quite literally) this is the result. I hope you recognise where it is? (clue: up north)."
Sean's dapper dressing
"Dressing well is a form of good manners” – Tom Ford. My preferred form of dressing is certainly classic menswear and workwear, taking cues from well dressed men from as far as the 1920s all the way to this modern age. Some may call it vain, but like what Tom Ford says, dressing well is a form of good manners and I believe that is something to be proud of."
