Firms face high-volume legal work, compliance obligations, and fragmented workflows hat slow deal-making and fund management.

It automates contract review, obligation tracking, entity management, due diligence, and compliance workflows, reducing manual work and letting teams focus on higher-value decisions. And by providing accurate, industry-specific insights without requiring customers to configure AI models, Ontra has helped firms work more efficiently and with less risk.

Serving over 1,000 firms globally (including 9 of the top 10 private equity firms), Ontra has processed more than 2M documents and continues expanding its product suite. Recent launched include AI tools for credit management, due diligence questionnaires, and human-in0the-loop KYC services.
