“Pandektes has made me a better lawyer”

How Claus Spangenberg uses Pandektes as his legal sparring partner – and has become a pioneer of AI-powered legal advisory

At Aumento Law Firm, technology is not a future ambition – it is already an integrated part of daily operations. Claus Spangenberg is one of the lawyers who works with AI on a daily basis. With digital tools like Pandektes and Perplexity, he is setting new standards for how legal advice can be delivered: faster, sharper, and with a stronger foundation in both legislation and practice.

Aumento is one of Denmark’s leading full-service law firms and has positioned itself as a frontrunner in developing an agile legal business. Here, technology, collaboration, and pragmatism go hand in hand – and Claus’ use of Pandektes is a clear example of how AI is already strengthening quality, client relationships, and strategic value.

“I can advise faster and better. I can take on more assignments. It’s a major strategic advantage – for both them and me.”

He doesn’t use AI to reduce his role – but to strengthen his position as a trusted advisor.

How does the future look for law?

Claus has no doubt: the legal profession is in the midst of a fundamental transformation. And it’s not just about digitizing books or searching faster on Google.

“We’re going to work with law in a completely new way. No more lengthy memorandums or academic structures – but with solutions. Clear recommendations and concrete action. That’s what clients are asking for, and AI can help lawyers deliver it.”

For Claus, AI isn’t about replacing his legal expertise – but about validating and supplementing it.

“When I have Pandektes with me, I feel stronger. With effective prompting and source validation, I can quickly get an overview of a legal issue. That gives me confidence in my advice. And the AI tools often bring new knowledge about rules and case law – a very welcome ‘side effect’.”

If the goal is to strengthen advisory services, the tools we use become decisive. Today, Claus works strategically with several AI platforms – but Pandektes plays a unique role: it is the legal tool that understands legislation and contracts, and it fits his working method perfectly.

“When it comes to understanding the legal framework, I use Pandektes. I describe the facts – without using client-sensitive information – ask questions, and get both an overview and concrete suggestions. It’s like sparring with an associate – one who thinks legally.”

When asked what difference Pandektes has made to his role as a lawyer, Claus responds without hesitation:

“It has made me a better lawyer. More efficient”

Not because AI has taken over – but because Claus has made AI part of his workflow:

“It will always be me providing the advice. It’s still my experience and my judgment. But with Pandektes, I can work faster, think and investigate more broadly, and deliver better answers. That makes a real difference – both for me and for my clients.”
