Our Solution

Tools for the job

The ability to have the completion checklist, signature pages, and latest versions of documents linked together in one central place was a key driver in the decision to use Legatics, particularly given the number of documents involved and the time pressure of the transaction.

Legatics allowed all parties and users to have access to the documents list which enabled them to download the latest version of each document, view each document’s status, the status of each signature page allocated to them, and directly upload their signature pages.

Using Legatics, the lawyers were able to extract signature pages, generate automatic signing emails with the relevant signature pages and agreements attached, track the status of each signature, store executed signature pages, and collate them into a final executed version. This significantly reduced the administrative time required to complete the deal resulting in a more efficient, lower-risk process.
