Case Study: Motive Partners cut average negotiation time 57.5% with Ontra
Key results
The challenge
Motive Partners, a private equity firm focused on financial technology, managed NDA negotiation, investor obligations, and entity structure charts through manual processes. Its legal team spent hours each week on routine NDA work and administrative upkeep, leaving less time for higher-value tasks.
The solution
Motive Partners adopted Ontra's Contract Automation to handle NDA negotiation, Insight to digitize and track investor obligations, and Atlas for entity management, moving routine legal work onto a centralized, technology-driven platform.
“Ontra puts the data at my fingertips so I can respond to questions faster. It helps me to do my job more efficiently and allows me to spend my time where it matters most—rather than on more administrative tasks.”
