Brightleaf introduction and overview #LTNY #LegalIT

Brightleaf Corporation is a high-growth technology company headquartered outside Boston. We provide our collaborative legal document automation platform to law firms and legal departments. Brightleaf automates repetitive, costly, time-consuming document processes and enables smoother workflows among attorneys and between attorneys and their clients.

Our team has a proven track record of delivering legal automation and collaboration technologies. We built Brightleaf on a proprietary, industrial strength, enterprise-class platform that has delivered advanced process automation solutions to Fortune 500 companies and leading investment banks for over a decade. This platform was designed to rapidly connect with other systems, thereby providing seamless integration with existing workflow and allowing lawyers and clients to work together more closely and flexibly.

Brightleaf was designed by lawyers for lawyers.  We recognize viscerally that while documents are documents, legal documents are special.  They demand unique workflows and especially stringent quality standards.  They carry exacting confidentiality and privilege requirements.  Perhaps most importantly, legal documents are produced and consumed by highly skilled and busy legal professionals.  Any system that purports to automate these documents has to work in a way that is comfortable for and easily apprehensible to those professionals.

That’s why we built Brightleaf to work the way attorneys want to work. The platform operates in lawyers’ familiar environments, such as Word, Outlook, and Internet Explorer, thus reducing training requirements and accelerating adoption rates.  It allows your attorneys to see changes propagate dynamically through documents, so they feel like they’re drafting, not just pushing buttons.  It allows junior attorneys to “step-through” the textual changes that propagate through a document set as deal logic changes, creating a better opportunity to train those attorneys.

Our mission is this:  every kernel of legal work is some combination of high-value practice and exacting-but-repetitive process.  We seek to automate all of the process so that your attorneys can focus on the work that they and their clients really value.  Process less.  Practice more.  Profit much more.  With Brightleaf.
