Every tool your m&a team touches, unified.
Deal room + matter management

How a typical m&a matter moves through YesCounsel.

DD + redlining in one workspace
Counterparty uploads to the DD room. AI tags documents by category and flags material findings. Your team redlines drafts against the playbook; agent drafts counterparty-response memos.

Final docs e-sign inside the portal. Closing binder auto-assembles. Post-close obligations (earn-outs, indemnity claims, transition services) become tracked tasks that alert on the right date.
M&A firms ask us:
How is the AI redliner different from Spellbook or Ironclad?
Spellbook is a Word add-in; Ironclad is a contract lifecycle platform. YesCounsel's contract review sits inside the matter — which means the agent has the full deal context (target, purchase price, deal structure) when it redlines, not just the standalone document. The firm's playbook is the comparison baseline, and redlines link back to the clause and cite the playbook rule.
Can you handle a multi-billion dollar SPA?
The platform processes documents of any length; the constraint is attorney review capacity, not file size. For large transactions we provision a dedicated CSM + priority support channel during the deal window.
Does the AI redline get sent to the counterparty as-is?
No. The redline is a draft for the attorney. Every AI-flagged clause has a confidence score + rationale; the attorney decides what goes to the other side. We treat AI as leverage, not as a lawyer.
What about NDA volume? We sign 50+ a month.
Upload them in batch. The agent redlines against your NDA playbook (scope of disclosure, term, return/destruction, residuals, jurisdiction). Outputs a Word redline + 2-paragraph memo per NDA. Reviewed-per-day throughput scales with attorney time, not platform time.
Where does deal data live? Can counterparties see each other's documents?
Row-level security isolates every deal room. Counterparty access is scoped per-deal via secure share links — they see only what you grant them, and access auto-revokes on close or on a date you set.
