Our vision
For too long, the legal profession has stood still while the world around us has moved forward.
As a sixth-generation lawyer, I know by heart how little has changed in the way we work—beyond swapping fountain pens for keyboards. We built Arcline to change that, radically and responsibly.
At our core is the belief that we will transform the legal sector from within, not disrupt it from the outside. That’s why we have been co-developing our solution with top-tier law firms since our inception in December 2024.
We believe that this change must be powered by brilliant technical minds. That’s why we’re co-located in San Francisco and have brought together researchers and engineers from leading organizations such as Microsoft, LinkedIn, Oracle, MIT, Oxford, and beyond.
We are also deeply aware that it takes decades to build a law firm, but only one security breach to end it. Trust, security, and compliance are not features for us; they are the foundation of every line of code we write.
Finally, legal work is an intricate art, and a good agreement is its mosaic. We’re not here to replace this craftsmanship, but to elevate it to unprecedented levels.
This is how Arcline is setting a new standard in legal work - not by following trends, but by defining what comes next. Pamir Ehsas Founding CEO - Arcline 17.04.2025, Oslo
