United States

Ontra is the legal operating system for private markets and supports over 600 investment firms with their high volume, routine legal contract and abstracting work. The system integrates data, AI, and the deep expertise of independently practicing lawyers, who engage directly with clients' in-house legal teams in association with Ontra’s AI-enabled Insight or Contract Automation software. Lawyers in the Ontra network operate as fully remote, independently practicing lawyers, without the administrative constraints of a traditional legal practice. Ontra handles invoicing, billing, collections, and business development, allowing lawyers to stay focused on delivering high quality services to their clients whilst remaining at the forefront of technological innovation.
