Product Name: Closing Folders
Product Category: Legal Transaction Management (LTM)
Product Description:
Closing Folders helps lawyers run legal transactions in two ways. First, it centralizes every document, version, schedule, and signature, across all law firms, in a single place. Second, it automates mundane error prone tasks like creating signing packages and closing books.
Key Features
1. Closing Checklists: Closing Folders centralizes all documents across all law firms in a single place providing lawyers with a real-time view of their deal.
2. Signature Pages: Closing Folders can automatically detect all the signature pages in your documents and figure out who needs to sign them. Creating and sending signing packages – a process that currently takes several hours or days – can be accomplished in a few clicks. Signed pages are automatically synced back into the correct closing items.
3. Closing Books: Lawyers who use Closing Folders can send their clients a closing book the day a deal closes. Meanwhile, firm administrators can track all closing books made across the firm and seamlessly integrate new closing books into the firm’s existing knowledge management systems.
Key Competitors
We compete with other LTM providers like Doxly, DealStage, DealWIP, etc. In practice though, the biggest competitor is status quo, with many law firms choosing to stick with the old way of doing things.
Key Differentiation
We are the only LTM provider using machine learning to automatically detect signature pages in documents. Closing Folders can be used with documents in any language and format, even if the person using Closing Folders has not drafted the documents.
