A word from Aku Sorainen
Reflecting on the significance of this achievement, Crespect’s founder, Aku Sorainen, shared his enthusiasm: “Being part of the AG Elevate programme is a tremendous recognition and opportunity for Crespect. Addleshaw Goddard is famous for advising artists such as the Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Michael Jackson. For Crespect, being part of AG Elevate is like getting on the stage with (future) rock stars, and it gives us a great opportunity to test Crespect in the UK, which continues to be the most sophisticated legal market in the World.”
“While Crespect is building a community of forward-looking law firms to use the same infrastructure to streamline operations and enrich client relationships, feedback and advice from Addleshaw Goddard, named the most digital law firm in Europe by the Financial Times in 2023 is very valuable”, says Aku Sorainen, senior partner at Sorainen and founder of Crespect.
Looking ahead
As we move forward with AG Elevate, we’re eager to strengthen our market understanding and continue delivering cutting-edge legal practice management solutions for international law firms.
