Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Ontra is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Ontra addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
NDAs and routine contracts take 3-7 days because every single one routes through legal — no self-service for standard terms
Contract auto-renewed at 15% higher because nobody tracked the 60-day opt-out window buried on page 37
Private fund with 50 LPs each negotiating unique side letter provisions — tracking which investor got which concession across 200+ side letters is impossible manually. MFN clauses mean every new concession might trigger cascading rights for other LPs, and one missed obligation is a breach of fiduciary duty
Where it fits in your workflow
Before Ontra
Fund raises new vehicle → LP negotiations produce side letters with bespoke terms → side letters + LPA uploaded to Ontra for digitisation and obligation extraction
After Ontra
Ontra AI extracts obligations, MFN triggers, and concession terms → tracks cascading rights across LP base → alerts on compliance deadlines → generates reports for fund counsel and compliance team → NDAs and routine contracts auto-negotiated via AI + lawyer network
Integrations & hand-offs
Fund admin/counsel → Ontra (document upload). Ontra → fund compliance team (obligation alerts). Ontra AI + lawyer network → counterparty (routine contract negotiation). Ontra → fund admin systems (obligation data export).
