Stikeman Elliott LLP licenses DealBuilder
Stikeman Elliott LLP, a Canadian law firm with over 500 lawyers in eight offices, has licensed DealBuilder document assembly software for the preparation of various legal documents.
DealBuilder was developed in London by Business Integrity, working closely with its "Magic Circle" law firm customers. DealBuilder dramatically reduces the time to author (set-up and maintain) the legal templates at the heart of document assembly. Until DealBuilder, this was the major bottleneck with document assembly. DealBuilder uses artificial intelligence to eliminate the need for programmers to manually analyze and program the dependencies within a legal template.
“We wanted a system that would work with our sophisticated precedents and documentation and allow our knowledge management lawyers to automate templates on their own,” said Andrea Alliston, Director of Knowledge Management (Toronto). “DealBuilder meets that need.”
“Apart from London, Toronto appears to have the largest concentration of knowledge management lawyers in the world”, said Darryl Mountain, who was instrumental in getting Stikeman Elliott on board. “We are pleased to add another major Canadian law firm to our list of clients.”
Stikeman Elliott (www.stikeman.com) is recognized nationally and internationally for the sophistication of its business law practice. The firm is a Canadian leader in each of its core practice areas - corporate finance, M&A, banking, corporate commercial, real estate, tax, insolvency, structured finance, competition, intellectual property, employment and business litigation - and has developed in-depth knowledge of a wide range of industries from banking and insurance to oil & gas, electrical energy, mining and technology.
