Avokaado

Contracts That Work Like Systems, Not Files

Avokaado doesn’t treat contracts like static documents. It turns them into structured data from day one—clauses, parties, and terms are live, trackable, and connected. This “data-first” approach powers automation, collaboration, and real-time insights across legal, sales, HR, procurement, and compliance teams.

Founded by Mariana Hagström, Avokaado positions itself not as a faster CLM, but as a contract intelligence platform that transforms how legal and business teams operate together. Every contract becomes searchable, compliant, and integrated—without relying on version control acrobatics or email chains.

Why Contract Intelligence, Not Just Management?

Avokaado refers to itself as a “contract intelligence” platform, a deliberate shift from the traditional CLM label. According to Mariana:

“From the start, the mission was to help businesses work more efficiently with contracting as a process, not just legal as a function. That’s why we took a data-centric approach rather than the traditional file-centric model.”

In Avokaado, contracts fuel workflows and systems. The platform’s proprietary aDoc format structures contract data—enabling automated renewals, risk scoring, and real-time reporting. Instead of storing documents, Avokaado builds operational infrastructure.

Collaboration Without the Bottleneck

Unlike many CLM tools, Avokaado doesn’t silo legal. Sales teams can draft and execute contracts without waiting on approvals. HR can automate hiring docs. Procurement can standardize vendor agreements. Legal maintains oversight through pre-approved templates, clause libraries, and granular access controls.

Mariana explains:

“The biggest breakdowns come from misalignment—each department chasing its own objectives without shared context. Avokaado fixes this by making contracts data-first and system-connected.”

Legal AI That Supports, Not Surprises

Avokaado’s AI doesn’t guess. It assists with drafting, surfaces clause suggestions, and recognizes smart fields—all grounded in real source material. Its focus is usability and trust, not flashy features.

“We don’t slap AI labels on features. We build for the real pain points our customers describe—even when they can’t yet see the solution,” says Mariana.

With GDPR-compliant infrastructure and EU-based data residency, the platform avoids third-country transfers and protects sensitive information by design.

Works for One Team—or the Whole Enterprise

Avokaado is used across banking, insurance, telecoms, and healthcare—sectors where compliance and scale matter. But it’s also accessible to mid-sized enterprises, with modular tools that adapt to real-world needs.

Teams can host the platform on-prem, brand their own portals, or limit access to specific workflows. That flexibility makes Avokaado both enterprise-ready and usable out of the box.

Rethinking Legal’s Role in the Business

Instead of building walls between legal and the business, Avokaado builds bridges. Mariana puts it simply:

“Legal often underestimates its strategic value by cornering itself into disclaimers and risk mitigation. The real leap comes when legal takes the courage to design systems that serve the whole business.”

With Avokaado, legal moves from reactive document review to proactive orchestration—fueling decisions, insights, and collaboration at scale.
