Contracting Platforms are systems that allow lawyers, whether in a law firm or in a corporate, to greatly speed up and improve the contract (and other legal documents) generation and completion process. Often included in this are automated improvements to the negotiation phase, as well as a layer of data extraction that allows the user to gain better insights into the contracting process and its outputs.

Avvoka

Core Product(s): End-to-end document automation platform (online-based)

Key use cases:

  • First-draft automation
    • Generate perfect documents every time by building powerful automated document templates using Avvoka’s intuitive template editor
    • Unlike most automation tools, Avvoka’s editor empowers non-technical users to build sophisticated automated precedents, without the need to use any ‘code’ or syntax
    • The template editor has been honed over four years of rigorous development, so Avvoka can handle NDAs all the way up to 200+ page loan agreements
  • Safe, self-service contracting
    • Drive document creation within business teams by allowing legal teams to build contract playbooks, fallbacks and approval workflows layered into automated templates
    • Only add legal team members into a document where it’s clear they are adding value in more bespoke, important scenarios
  • Internal collaboration –
    • Work in real-time with colleagues on the same version of a document to ensure rapid resolution of queries by using internal comments, clause-based task assignment and approval layers
  • External negotiation
    • Stop playing Word draft ping-pong and negotiate documents with counterparties directly on the platform
    • Reach execution in record time: minimise version chaos and maximise the auditability of changes on documents
    • Use extensive rights-management to restrict the ability of users to mark-up key terms to safeguard negotiating guidelines
  • Document data analysis
    • Effortlessly access the commercial data contained within contracts: automation creates structured, searchable documents that can be analysed in the reporting function or exported to other business information systems
  • Monitoring commercial performance
    • Avvoka’s negotiation editor has a rich data layer: track how key clauses are being marked-up across a document portfolio to spot bottlenecks and areas where a fallback would smooth the negotiation flow

Company Description:

Avvoka is a document automation, negotiation and analytics tool designed to help law firms, in-house legal teams and businesses (of all sizes) draft documents, negotiate them, and leverage data insights from that process to draft better documents, and get to “yes” faster.

Unlike legacy tools, with Avvoka you can rapidly build automated versions of your most complex documents using our intuitive automation builder. This means no more tricky coding within Word documents. Our customers reach agreement fast by collaborating on documents with colleagues in real-time and negotiating with counterparties via the Avvoka online platform.

Avvoka has a range of sophisticated reporting tools that allow businesses to monitor push-back against their standard contract clauses, track key commercial terms and compare individual negotiator performance.

What is your core product’s key selling point?

Avvoka is a complete end-to-end document automation tool, which unlike other document automation systems, allows the user to take a document from precedent, through first-draft, collaboration, negotiation, execution and analysis.

Avvoka’s editor is deceptively simple – by doing away with the requirement to ‘code’ word documents, users with no prior technical knowledge can automate powerful documents using our plain-English, visual template builder. In spite of this, our numerous partnerships with the world’s most prestigious law firms and financial institutions plainly demonstrates that Avvoka can handle even the most sophisticated documents with ease.

With Avvoka, users can take their contracting journey beyond the first draft, with the platform facilitating real-time collaboration with colleagues, workflow and approvals management and task allocation. Once the home team has prepared their draft, users can then invite counterparties to negotiate via the platform, at no extra cost. Negotiating online stops email-Word document ping pong to allow contracting teams to reach execution faster; while the editor collects all the data in the background on how the text is changing during the negotiations.

Once the document is signed (via native integrations with Adobe Sign or DocuSign) Avvoka allows users to surface structured data from entire document portfolios to analyse on platform or via connectors with other reporting tools.
