What is Centari?
Centari is the AI platform for deal intelligence, purpose-built for complex transactions in law firms and investment funds. It transforms unstructured deal documents like credit agreements, LPAs, and M&A closing sets into structured data with attorney-level precision, creating a proprietary deal database accessible to the entire organization.
The platform's core is the Deal Reasoning Engine, which uses patent-pending technology calibrated by domain experts to simulate relational reasoning that transactional lawyers perform. It traces defined terms, maps conditional logic, and reconciles interdependent provisions across multiple documents to create high-fidelity, citation-backed data. This enables precedent search, real-time negotiation support, market analysis, and cross-functional information sharing.
Key features include Views for creating data visualizations from deal data with granular confidentiality controls, and Intelligence for market analysis, document and clause-level search across a firm's entire deal history, and real-time negotiation support powered by natural language queries. The platform generates structured outputs including deal sheets, matter profiles, abstracts, and comparison grids.
Centari is designed for transactional lawyers, deal teams, investment funds, legal knowledge managers, and corporate advisory professionals. It supports the entire transaction lifecycle from origination and negotiation to diligence, drafting, closing, and post-closing review. Leading law firms and investment funds use it to win more business, demonstrate market expertise, and turn every closed deal into institutional knowledge.
The platform emphasizes enterprise-grade security with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification. Your data is never used for training, never commingled, and always under your control, with support for ethical walls and single-tenant deployments.
