Challenge

Legal transactions are complex and chaotic. In every legal transaction, there are countless paper documents, revisions, and signatures to review, negotiate, and track. At the beginning of each transaction, attorneys create closing checklists to detail all the deliverables that need to be completed in order to close a transaction. As a result, attorneys get bogged down with administrative tasks, slowing the deal and distracting them from providing the high-value services where they add the most value. Founded by former corporate attorney Haley Altman, Doxly set out to build a software product that brought simplicity to the legal transaction process.

The Doxly team knew that documents play a critical role in legal transactions. To build their product, the Doxly team needed a way to securely store and manage all the documents in each legal transactions, enable attorneys to view and collaborate on documents with team members and clients, and maintain a comprehensive record of a transaction for audit purposes.

Solution

Doxly brings efficiency, transparency, and order to the legal transaction process. When an attorney logs into Doxly, they can browse all the deals they are currently working on. Drilling into a specific deal, an attorney can manage their closing checklist, view documents at each stage of the transaction, add comments to collaborate with their team or with clients, and track versions and revisions of every document. Doxly’s Signatures Simplified platform allows attorneys to forgo the tedious signature packet creation process by automating the creation of signature blocks, pages and packets. At the close of the deal, a closing book is automatically created to distribute to all parties with just a few clicks. Doxly also offers a Data Room, where they can collect and manage all diligence documents for each deal and communicate with team members and clients at the document level.

All of the documents are securely stored in Box, made accessible only to the attorneys working on a particular deal, and attorneys can view documents directly in the Doxly interface using Box’s preview technology.
