Our Solution
Tools for the job
Dentons used Legatics to manage the real estate financing deal centrally. The platform’s checklist management function automated the closing checklist and approval processes, eliminating the need for lengthy status calls that previously took up to 9 hours of lawyer time per week.
The real-time visibility and status updates meant the team no longer had to produce up-to-date Word document closing checklists against tight deadlines. This saved time and allowed junior members of the deal team to get involved in more interesting tasks, improving their overall experience. The Legatics platform made it easier to track the latest versions of documents and status updates, improving document workflow and, consequently, the overall lawyer-client experience.
At the end of the transaction, the team was able to use the platform to compile documents for the transaction in just 3 hours, reducing the 15-20 hour estimate for set up and building closing sets.
