NEW YORK, NY. — LawGeex announced today that it has closed a $20 million round of financing. LawGeex is the pioneer and leader in automating the review of contracts to accelerate deal closure, and ensure contracts are future-proofed in light of business uncertainty. Corner Ventures, a Palo Alto, CA based venture capital fund focused on investments in leading growth stage technology companies led the round, with participation from La Maison and the continued support of existing investors Aleph, lool Ventures and former Thomson Reuters CEO, Tom Glocer. 

“We saw in LawGeex a rare opportunity to invest in a company with an exceptional customer roster at the cusp of stellar growth,” said Marvin Tien, Managing Director at Corner Ventures. “LawGeex is seeing high demand for its solution and even further acceleration due to the flexibility, cost efficiencies, and safety-net afforded by digital automation during this challenging time.”

Over the last 12 months, LawGeex has achieved several significant milestones. These have included:

• Best of Breed leadership by introducing full-redlining features across 10 contract categories, including sell-side contracts to help companies accelerate revenue.
• Frictionless Contracting features to ensure the legal function and institutional knowledge remain available despite tightening budgets and headcount uncertainty.
• Zero Change Management to ensure contract acceleration can be deployed rapidly and contribute to the current quarter bottom line.
