These are the organizations that have the challenges that we deal with and meet our ideal customer criteria of having to manage multiple legal documents for transactions of modest size. Typically they are resource constrained in terms of time, money and technical expertise, and they are the kinds of organizations that find us most attractive.

In-House Counsel

Who Are We?

We are in the business of creating a safe and reliable drafting solution for our customers at a reasonable price. We are founded by a lawyer who was frustrated by doing repetitive tasks while trying to complete legal documents under extreme time pressure.  The software he designed was made to solve his problems at first, but the team soon learned that others were having the same frustrations and the company was born.  

Problem We Solve

We solve the difficulty and high cost of legal drafting by implementing a solution that is easy to use, reliable and cost effective.  The solution is possible by employing world-class technology platform with multi-discipline trained customer success representatives.    

What is Contract Automation?


Any organization that must manage multiple documents that relate to each other requires contract automation (also known as document automation).  This is particularly true if the documents are used over and over using previous deal as the starting point, or a standardized form within the organization or industry.

Contract automation is the process of generating documents not by typing or copying-and-pasting but by making intelligent choices, and based on the decisions, the underlying document changes to fit the criteria.

For example, there could be an interview question, “Is client married?” And if you choose “Married”, it will lead to a different set of documents as opposed to “Single”. Different number of documents, different number of signature blocks, wording changes from “He” to “They”, etc., throughout.

Our solution is like TurboTax, which is the document automation of the IRS Form 1040, but we can build that type of question-and-answer interactivity for any document, to make it easy to fill out and increase the production speed because you put the information in only once. It’s especially helpful for complex legal documents that has many different sub-components, like loan, employment, and lease agreements.

Ideal Customer Profile

We focus on markets and companies with the following characteristics. 

h

Have Form Agreements

We typically do not provide form documents to our customers.  We work with customer’s existing forms.

Modest Sized Transaction Value

The transactions we typically automate have deal values in the range of $5,000 to $250,000.

i

Complex Set of Legal Documents

Thinks About How Automation Can Help

Loan Officer Review My personal experience is a 10 out of 10. I'm a loan officer that utilizes the program to automate and populate the various loan documents we use at loan closings. We have multiple funding sources that each require their own forms and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and the team have integrated numerous forms for each of our separate funding sources. E.G. - If we are making an SBA microloan, we select SBA microloan, and the software automatically pulls up all required forms needed for this program and the best part is we only have to type the information such as client name, address, loan amount, etc. once and it autopopulates into all required forms. The program is a huge asset to our Finance Department. ☺The ease of use. It is easy to sign in securely, Celant automatically saves everything you do so if the computer has a power outage or you forget to save, all the work is saved and you can easily pick back up where you left off. The software is very intuitive since it is custom tailored to the needs of the client. ☹That any change must be made through Celant, there are no modifications or setting changes the user can manipulate. With that said, the team at Celant is extremely responsive to any requests and usually responds within an hour or two at most.

Celant Closing Documentation Review streamlining the closing process allowing for increased production ☺The product is easy to use, allows for conversion to a word document. Celant was able to take existing forms and automate them so a loan closing package can be generated in half the time it used to take. ☹During the conversion process some clauses were moved around so it would work for formatting purposes. This will take a little time to get used to. Overall the inconvenience is minor compared to the time it has saved staff.

Highly Recommend Celant Software ☺The software is incredibly easy to use and generates documents quickly and efficiently. The documents are able to be downloaded in an editable format as well so minor revisions can be done in-house. However, the customer service is unparalleled. Whenever we do have a need, the Celant team is always able to help in record time. ☹There are no real complaints on our team about this software.

Celant - accelerating production of legal documents Exceptional. A pleasure and a relief to receive the customer service support from people with expertise in both law and IT. Totally accountable, professional and delivers. ☺Easy to use (very intuitive) designed for lawyers, flexible and adaptable, reliable, allows one lawyer to generate the work of 2-3 lawyers. Excellent customer service with immediate replies to questions, delivered with accuracy and attention to detail. ☹Nothing. Into the future I would like the offering to expand to link with research and document drive (G suite/ Microsoft etc).

The software platform is a tremendous asset to our business ☺The developer is on top of everything. Any issue that has arisen has been addressed with a sense of urgency that I truly appreciate. This has made the software platform ever evolving to our needs. The platform runs very fast and is very straightforward. I was skeptical of how well this would adapt to our business sector, but I am blown away with how much more efficient our day to day operations have become ☹I would say that there are some formatting issues with exporting the documents to Word or PDF, but these issues are isolated to new features recently added. I am very confident that they will or have been addressed.

Why Did They Choose Us?

Managing a document process requires much manual labor (albeit ‘skilled labor’) and constant checking and keeping things in the back of your mind as the deal progresses.  Organizations struggle with managing the same details across multiple legal documents which is a time-consuming, laborious and dreadful job. 

We help to automate that process and allow these organizations to then apply simple rules  to these documents so that they can be used over and over without copying and pasting in the same information for the needs of each individual customer or transaction.   

 

Why Are We Different?

We are unique in that we have the specific functionality required for smaller organizations and we provide the service to get you started without heavy upfront investment.  We have worked specifically with CDFIs, law firms and corporate legal departments and understand the unique needs of these organizations and built an end-to-end solution tailored to these needs at the right affordable price.

We Understand Your Pain
