NetDocuments, a Lehi-based cloud content management platform for legal professionals, has announced the acquisition of Afterpattern, a New York-based document automation platform also used in the legal industry.
“By integrating Afterpattern into the NetDocuments platform, customers will be able to further focus on the ‘create’ aspect of the document lifecycle and be empowered to automate documents, at scale, more efficiently than ever before,” NetDocuments said in a release.
“As we continue our journey to help legal professionals do their best work, we are always looking for new technology that will accelerate this path forward. Adding Afterpattern to the NetDocuments platform is a prime example,” said Josh Baxter, NetDocuments CEO. “One of the things we hear consistently is that lawyers and their teams need to build more automation into their legal workflows –– from making requests to capturing data, to generating complex sets of documents. When I saw the sophistication and capabilities of the Afterpattern legal practice automation, I knew this is what many of our customers are looking for today.”
According to Thomas Officer, Afterpattern co-founder and design lead, NetDocuments is the perfect environment for Afterpattern’s automation builder. “Almost every legal workflow includes a document or email, so what better place to build that automation than the leading secure, cloud-based document management system?”
Similar to previous acquisitions, including ThreadKM and Chapman and Cutler’s Closing Room, Afterpattern will be natively integrated into the NetDocuments platform. Specific details about availability will be shared in early 2022, the company said.
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
