AI-powered legal drafting and contract analysis tool for lawyers. Swedish company (Malmö) founded 2017 by Donna Technologies AB. 2-10 employees. Describes itself as ‘assistive intelligence’ rather than artificial intelligence. Analyses contracts, spots issues, handles definitions in recitals, and assists with transactional drafting. Referenced in Suffolk University Law journal (‘Transactional Drafting with Donna, Google, and Cooley: Leveraging AI’). Covered by Above the Law (2019): ‘Contract Editing Gets A Major Makeover.’ Crunchbase lists funding rounds. Backed by well-known investors per TheHub. Very small team but academic and editorial credibility.

Who It’s For

  • Transactional lawyers reviewing and drafting contracts who want AI-assisted issue spotting
  • Junior associates who need a safety net for catching definition inconsistencies and clause issues
  • Law firms looking for lightweight contract analysis without full CLM commitment

In-house legal team reviews 200+ vendor and customer contracts per quarter with inconsistent quality — junior attorneys miss risks that senior attorneys would catch, there's no standardised review checklist, and the playbook lives in a senior attorney's head rather than a system
