M&A Transactions
Law firms can coordinate diligence, negotiation, regulatory approvals, financing, and closing across deal teams
The Challenge
Law firms executing M&A transactions face extraordinary coordination complexity across legal diligence, purchase agreement negotiation, regulatory approval processes, financing arrangements, third-party consents, and closing logistics. Deal execution requires coordinating corporate attorneys negotiating agreements, diligence teams reviewing target information, regulatory counsel managing HSR and foreign investment filings, financing attorneys coordinating debt and equity commitments, and closing teams managing signing logistics and post-closing obligations — all under intense time pressure with shifting deal timelines. Email-based coordination creates visibility gaps where diligence issues aren’t escalated timely to negotiating teams, regulatory approval delays aren’t factored into closing projections, and financing condition satisfaction isn’t monitored systematically.
How Lupl Solves This
Lupl transforms M&A deal execution by creating a central Matter for the transaction with Workstreams for each major deal component — corporate negotiations, due diligence, regulatory approvals, financing, third-party consents, and closing preparation. Forms standardize diligence issue logging, regulatory filing tracking, consent request management, and closing condition monitoring. Automations trigger task sequences when deal milestones occur (LOI signed triggers diligence launch), send deadline reminders for regulatory submissions and consent requests, and escalate deal risks requiring partner attention. Dashboards provide deal teams real-time visibility into negotiation status, diligence findings, regulatory approval progress, financing commitment status, consent collection, and closing condition satisfaction across the entire transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Lupl work with closing solutions?
Lupl is not a dedicated closing folders solution with signature management. It is focused on the orchestration of the entire process and transaction. Dedicated solutions can be used for closing and with Lupl’s Open API and webhooks, these can also be integrated.
How does Lupl coordinate between diligence teams finding issues and negotiating attorneys addressing them in purchase agreements?
Diligence Workstreams log issues with materiality assessments, and Automations can escalate high-materiality findings to negotiating attorneys for immediate incorporation into agreement discussions or disclosure schedules.
Can the platform track deal timelines when closing dates shift during negotiations?
Yes — deadline adjustments in the Matter can be automated to cascade through all Workstreams, automatically updating deadlines, consent request timing, and closing preparation schedules based on the revised timeline.
Does Lupl coordinate with financing attorneys tracking debt and equity commitments?
Yes — everything can be tracked in one place.
