Datasite
The room many of the world's largest deals run in. Now read in full by Emma, from the day it opens.
Fifty years of M&A, one secure room.
Datasite is M&A infrastructure for sell-side, buy-side and advisory teams. Headquartered in Minneapolis, it supports around 16,000 new transactions a year across 180+ countries. Its Diligence data room is the default choice for leading banks, law firms and private equity houses running high-stakes processes.
AI sits inside the room: search, summaries, translation and redaction, governed under ISO/IEC 42001. Datasite was the first data room provider to earn that certification.
Datasite holds the deal. Emma reads it.
A secure room tells you what was uploaded and who opened it. It doesn't tell you what's missing, or where the risk concentrates. Connect your Datasite project to Emma and every document is reviewed against your request list. Gaps surface before anyone opens a folder. Every flagged risk links back to the clause behind it.
The documents stay in Datasite. The judgment stays with your team.

- Full-room legal review, every document read

What changes when Emma reads your Datasite room
The legal read starts on day one
Your firm’s expertise, in every review
Every flag carries its source
Size stops deciding depth
Do our documents ever leave the Datasite environment?
Yes. Documents selected for synchronization are securely transferred to Emma Legal for AI-powered analysis and therefore viewable, while the originals remain in Datasite. This enables continuous document synchronization without manual downloads or uploads. Your documents remain under your ownership and are never used to train AI models. Datasite stays the source document.
For example, if your Datasite access is revoked, you will no longer be able to view the documents in Emma Legal. However, you can still access previously flagged risks, your recommendations and due diligence reports.
Does Emma Legal respect the access permissions set in Datasite?
Yes. Emma only connects data rooms that your Datasite account has access to. Once synchronized, access within Emma is managed through its own role-based permissions. This ensures that confidential deal documents remain accessible only to authorized users in each workspace.
How is confidential deal data secured across both workspaces?
Datasite and Emma Legal apply enterprise-grade security measures to protect confidential M&A information. Emma is ISO 27001 certified, SOC2 type II and CASA, tier 2 compliant and uses AES-256 encryption, secure data transfers and role-based access controls. Customer documents remain private, are never used to train AI models and are processed in accordance with GDPR requirements.
Is the Datasite integration suited to both buy-side and sell-side mandates?
Yes. Emma Legal supports both buy-side and sell-side M&A legal due diligence. Buy-side teams can identify contractual risks, review documentation and prepare due diligence reports. Sell-side teams can do vendor due diligence, by assessing transaction readiness of the data room, identify missing documents and address potential issues before buyer review. Both benefit from faster, more consistent legal analysis.
How do I connect a data room in Datasite to Emma Legal?
On Datasite, you only need an account. Connect your Datasite virtual data room directly to Emma Legal through its built-in integration. Simply select Datasite as your data room in Emma Legal, authenticate your account and choose the data room or documents you want to synchronize. Emma automatically connects the selected files and keeps them up to date, allowing your team to start AI-powered legal due diligence without manual uploads.
