Document Intelligence
Review every clause before the first redline
Statuteharbor reads your purchase agreement the way a senior associate does on a thorough second pass. Every indemnity cap, every change-of-control trigger, every survival window gets mapped and flagged before your deal team opens the document.
Capabilities
What the platform flags for you
Built specifically for M&A purchase agreements, not adapted from a general contract review tool. The flag categories reflect the provisions that actually move deal economics: indemnity exposure, purchase price mechanics, and survival risk.
Indemnification
Caps, baskets, deductibles, sandbagging clauses, and RWI interactions. Benchmarked by deal size so you know whether the terms are in range.
Change-of-Control
Licenses, permits, and contracts with assignment restrictions or automatic termination on transfer. Includes consent requirements and notification timelines.
Survival Periods
Rep and warranty survival windows mapped against market practice for your deal structure. Staggered survival periods for specific rep categories identified.
Material Adverse Effect
MAE definition scope, carve-outs, and disproportionate-effect standards. Knowledge qualifier breadth and disclosure schedule interplay surfaced.
Earnout Provisions
Earnout metrics, measurement periods, accounting methodology, and buyer operation covenants. Acceleration and clawback triggers identified.
Purchase Price Mechanics
Working capital targets, adjustment methodologies, escrow amounts, and closing condition satisfaction requirements reviewed in economic context.
Clause Analysis Depth
Not a keyword scan. A structured read.
Statutory and definitional cross-references are followed. A definition buried in Schedule A that qualifies the indemnification cap in Section 8 gets connected. That is the depth difference between a keyword search and a clause-aware review engine.
Upload the agreement
Drop a PDF or paste plain text. The parser handles standard SPA, APA, and merger agreement formats. No template mapping or preprocessing required.
Clause extraction and classification
Each section is parsed against Statuteharbor's M&A clause taxonomy. Cross-references to definitions and schedules are resolved before flagging begins.
Risk rating and annotation
Flagged provisions are rated by severity relative to deal-size norms. Each flag includes a plain-language note explaining why the provision warrants attention.
Export the annotated review
Download the flag list as a PDF or DOCX. Clause references map directly back to the original agreement pagination so your team can locate each provision instantly.
Works With Your Stack
Fits the tools your team already uses
No new document management system required. Statuteharbor takes a PDF, returns a structured flag export in the format your team already uses, and stays out of your existing workflow.
Use Cases
Built for the deal types that matter
Statuteharbor is calibrated for middle-market and upper-middle-market M&A purchase agreements. The flag logic reflects the risk profile of each transaction type. It is not designed for general commercial contracts, employment agreements, or vendor MSAs.
Sell-side M&A
Identify indemnity exposure, rep scope, and survival windows before you agree to terms. Know which provisions need pushback before the redline lands.
Buy-side due diligence
Surface the change-of-control triggers in the target's material contracts and the rep gaps in the SPA before closing. Flag issues that belong in the disclosure review, not the post-close integration debrief.
Private company acquisitions
Founder-negotiated agreements often have non-standard indemnity structures and MAE definitions. Statuteharbor flags deviations from market practice so you can address them early.
In-house counsel review
In-house teams often receive a proposed SPA without outside counsel in the room. Statuteharbor gives in-house counsel the structured first-pass coverage needed to know which provisions require outside counsel attention before the clock starts running.
