Filevine, a legal technology platform based in Salt Lake City, has acquired contract management software firm Outlaw. Outlaw specializes in contract document creation, editing and real-time end-to-end collaboration.
Filevine develops and markets cloud-based software that provides case, matter and investigation management solutions for the legal industry.
“When we started to investigate the contract management space, it was obvious that Outlaw was the breakout product on the market,” said Filevine CEO Ryan Anderson. “From their easy-to-use workflows and powerful customization for complex documents, they were simply a cut above. By bringing them under the Filevine umbrella, we will help all legal practitioners, whether in the corporate or private practice setting, focus on results rather than dealing with busywork.”
“With this acquisition, legal teams will be able to add contracts and documents to their workflows and better deliver stellar outcomes for the clients they serve,” Filevine said in announcing the purchase of Outlaw. “In particular, corporate counsel teams (and those who work with them) will win from being able to manage all their projects, with contracts included, all in one place.”
“We started Outlaw to build a better way to do corporate contracting from the ground up,” said Outlaw CEO Evan Schneyer. “When Filevine approached us, the synergies were apparent from the start. Integrating Outlaw’s tech into Filevine will add substantial value for Filevine’s entire user base of 25,000-plus lawyers.”
Current Outlaw CEO Evan Schneyer and co-founder Dan Dalzotto will continue to lead Outlaw’s product development and will report to Anderson. Outlaw will continue to operate but with additional engineering, customer success and sales support from Filevine to accelerate its leadership in the contract lifecycle management space, the company said.
