Can I use Emma Legal as a stand-alone Virtual Data Room (VDR) ?
Yes, you can. Emma Legal is built with the same enterprise-grade security standards as Virtual Data Rooms. You can also use Emma alongside your existing Virtual Data Room (VDR).
I'm a Corporate Finance advisor on the sell-side. Can I use Emma Legal?
Yes, absolutely. Emma Legal is perfect for Vendor Due Diligence (VDD) before bringing an asset to market. The platform handles and visualizes various file formats—from Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and PDF and can also store media files like MP3 and MP4.
Does Emma Legal structure my data room for me?
Yes, absolutely. After syncing or uploading your data room, Emma Legal's first step is structuring all files and folders using the Information Request List (IRL). You can use our standard IRL with up to 193 document types to automatically categorize your data room. Even better, you can define your own document types for Emma and they will be instantly categorized accordingly.
Can I leverage Emma Legal as a knowledge base for Legal M&A dealmaking?
That's exactly what Emma Legal is designed for. Domain and/or law expertise (like industry knowledge, social law, and IP law) in M&A deals often exists in scattered fragments that are hard to manage effectively. Through Emma Legal's templates for IRLs and Checks, your firm can tap into the same smart questions that domain experts would ask during a deal. When you invite team members to the Emma Legal Platform, you can delegate specific questions to domain experts and save their insights as templates for future deals. This way, your firm grows smarter with every transaction.
Sounds great. But what are the costs of using Emma Legal?
We've saved the best for last. We use a per-deal pricing model. Based on 250+ interviews with industry experts like yourself, we learned that you prefer this over per-user or seat-based pricing—where you pay for your entire firm when only a few people use it effectively. Our per-deal model makes it simple to associate software fees with specific deals, and in many cases, these can be invoiced directly to your end clients. We also offer discounts for law firms, private equity firms, and companies that handle multiple deals per year. Want to learn more about our pricing? Get in touch
