Emma now connects directly to SS&C Intralinks DealCentre AI, enabling M&A lawyers to work with the latest data from active data rooms without needing to download files all the time.
GHENT, BELGIUM — June 9, 2026: Emma Legal today announced connectivity with SS&C Intralinks DealCentre AI, a leading dealmaking platform in M&A. Law firms and in-house legal teams can now connect to a data room in DealCentre AI directly and have their documents flow into the Emma workspace where legal due diligence is run, structured against the request list, checked for missing documents, and surfaced as clause-level risk. This is the latest addition to Emma's connectivity across the data room ecosystem, and a deliberate one. The data room is where the deal lives. Emma is where the review happens. Connecting the two creates tremendous value for legal teams.
Why Emma connects rather than imports
Most legal AI tools treat the data room as a place to copy documents from. You download, you upload, you analyze a static set, and you do it again next week when the seller adds three hundred files. This, often non-billable work, is painful and slows down deals. Also, every copy is a version control risk and a moment where sensitive deal information could leak outside the deal teams.
Emma takes a different position. We connect to the source of truth instead of duplicating it. When the data room changes, the review changes with it. There is no re-export, no stale set, no quiet drift between what the seller has disclosed and what the legal team is actually reviewing. For a workflow where the central question is what you are buying, the good and the bad, working from yesterday's version of the room is not a small problem.
Why DealCentre AI
Emma is purpose-built for one thing: legal due diligence, from first document to closing. DealCentre AI is the go-to platform for investment bankers & corporate finance. It manages the full lifecycle of a transaction inside a secure, governed environment, and a large share of the deals our law firms and in-house teams run, pass through it.
Connecting Emma to DealCentre AI means a joint client does not have to choose between the security and oversight of their data room and the structured review the law firms needs on top of it. They keep both. The governance stays intact. The legal diligence gets sharper. That is a connection worth building.
“We didn’t connect to DealCentre AI to tick an integration box. We did it because the deal team’s biggest unsolved problem is the gap between where documents live and where the real work happens. Close that gap, keep the security intact, and a partner can call their client the morning after the data room opens with a structured read of what’s actually in it. That’s the whole point of Emma.” - Rick van Esch, CEO & Co-founder, Emma Legal
What it unlocks for the deal team
Once the connection between DealCentre AI and Emma is established, Emma structures the room, categorizes the documents, and surfaces the clauses that deviate from market standard. A connected data room means that the picture is accurate from the first hour and stays accurate as the room fills with new documents.
For the M&A partner, that turns into a different client conversation: a structured preliminary read on day one instead of providing the same in week two. For the senior associate, it moves the hours away from document triage and file handling and toward judgment on the risks that matter. For the firm's security and operations leaders, content moves through approved, permissioned channels, stays isolated per matter, and is never used to train Emma's intelligence. Control stays with the lawyer, and with the firm.
Availability
Live connectivity with SS&C Intralinks DealCentre AI is available to joint clients with active deals on the platform. Teams already running due diligence in Emma can connect a DealCentre AI transaction directly from their workspace.
