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
