About Heim Avocats
A Lausanne practice built on precision and trust
Heim Avocats is a Lausanne-based law firm with a strong reputation for client-focused legal advice. Jean-Philippe Heim has spent years building a practice where the quality of every document — every letter, every brief, every contract — reflects the care the firm gives to its clients.
That commitment to quality meant Jean-Philippe and his team were spending a disproportionate amount of time on the mechanics of legal writing: dictating notes, formatting documents, transcribing voice memos. Good work — but not the work that required a trained lawyer.
×Heim AvocatsThe Challenge
Hidden hours, invisible to the billing clock
The time lost to documentation is rarely visible. It doesn't show up as a single big task — it accumulates in minutes: rewording a paragraph, reformatting a table, waiting for a transcription to come back from a secretary. Before Whisperit, Jean-Philippe estimated he was losing well over two hours a day to tasks that added no legal value.
The problem wasn't effort — it was friction. Each small interruption broke concentration. High-value analytical work was constantly displaced by administrative tasks that simply had to get done.
The Solution
Speak once, review once — done
With Whisperit, Jean-Philippe dictates naturally in French — in the office, between meetings, or while reviewing a file. The AI transcribes with legal accuracy, structures the output into the right document format, and has a clean first draft ready within seconds.
- Legal-grade voice transcription in French, German, Italian, and English
- Automatic document formatting — letters, briefs, memos, contracts
- AI understands Swiss legal conventions and firm templates
- Dictate anywhere: office, mobile, or between meetings
“Thanks to Whisperit, I finally have time to focus on perfecting my golf handicap. It gave me back hours I didn't know I'd lost.”
The Results
Two hours back, every single day
Since adopting Whisperit, Heim Avocats has reclaimed more than two hours per lawyer per day — time that is now spent on client strategy, case analysis, and, in Jean-Philippe's case, improving his golf swing. The hidden tax that documentation placed on the firm's productive hours has been eliminated.
The insight from Heim Avocats is simple and consistent with what we hear across practices of every size: the biggest gains don't come from working harder — they come from removing the invisible friction that was there all along.
