"Despite the inexorable digitization of the workplace, legal processes have largely resisted disruption," said Ayush Jain, investor for SoftBank Investment Advisers. "ContractPodAi's technology aims to empower in-house legal professionals to radically improve business performance such as driving faster revenue recognition, increase compliance adherence and optimise operational workflows. We believe the company's modularized, one platform approach extends way beyond existing Contract Lifecycle Management to capture a vast array of legal use cases across multiple jurisdictions."
"We are just scratching the surface of what we can do," said Sarvarth Misra, Co-Founder and CEO of ContractPodAi. "The market is asking for a legal platform, a technology infrastructure that supports in-house legal teams like CRM does for sales teams or fintech for finance. With the backing of Insight Partners, Eagle Proprietary Investments, and now SoftBank Vision Fund 2, we are ready to win the market by driving digital transformation for our customers with our One Legal Platform approach."

Vision Fund 2 to Shape the Digital Transformation of the Legal Industry
-- ContractPodAi will focus on accelerating its ContractPodAI Cloud growth plans: 'One Legal Platform' to support in-house corporate legal teams with a multi-application solution for their technology needs
(LONDON, Sept. 30, 2021 PRNewswire=연합뉴스) ContractPodAi [https://contractpodai.com/ ], the award-winning provider of the AI-powered contract lifecycle management (CLM) led 'One Legal Platform', today announced a USD $115 million Series C investment headed by SoftBank Vision Fund 2. This latest round saw ContractPodAi's valuation increase 5x from its previous Series B round in 2019. As part of the transaction, Ayush Jain of SoftBank Investment Advisers will join the ContractPodAi Board. Proceeds from the round will go towards further accelerating ContractPodAi's platform capabilities and expanding its market presence internationally, leveraging SoftBank's networks to capture new opportunities in the APAC region. This funding round also marks Vision Fund 2's first investment in legal technology, one of the fastest growing SaaS categories.
Almost every business function relies on legal involvement or expertise. Despite its importance, legal has been one of the last functions to adopt digitization. Legal is the next frontier for digital transformation, and ContractPodAi is leading the charge.
ContractPodAi's 'One Legal Platform'
Building on the strength of ContractPodAi's end-to-end CLM solution, ContractPodAi's no-code platform allows teams to manage any legal scenario, process, or document using the platform's pre-built and configurable applications such as claims, RFP review, and IP portfolio management.
In addition, the platform offers simple, guided forms and templates to create a legal application from scratch in minutes - a fast, easy, and intuitive way to scale highly tailored solutions for in-house teams' everyday legal needs. Across both pre-built applications and configurable applications, the platform leverages an embedded toolkit of AI functionality like document review, cognitive search, and advanced analytics for each use case. Pre-built applications contain tailored AI data models tuned to the objective of each module.
ContractPodAi is dedicated to help in-house counsel address any legal task they need to deliver, from buy- and sell-side contracting, to compliance requirements, to corporate governance. ContractPodAi's versatile platform offering and no-risk digital transformation delivery model maximize a legal team's technology investment. Additionally, ContractPodAi offers an expert legal transformation team who can engineer applications to any company's workflows and playbook.
