Problem

Definely addresses the slow, error-prone work of drafting and reviewing complex, high-risk legal contracts. Lawyers must navigate linked clauses, definitions, cross-references, schedules, and multiple related documents while maintaining consistency; manual proofreading and document navigation consume significant billable time and create exposure to costly drafting errors, reputational damage, and contractual risk. The economic pain is substantial: lawyers are estimated to spend 56% of their time manually drafting and reviewing contracts, while Definely says its tools reduce review time, standardize quality, and mitigate human error.

The killer use case is transactional work such as M&A, banking, insurance, and complex commercial agreements, where a missed undefined term, inconsistent provision, or broken cross-reference can have consequences across an entire contract suite. Definely is designed to help lawyers rapidly identify these issues, understand how changes affect related provisions, and produce structured issues lists for negotiation and review.

Product / Service

Definely is an AI-powered legal technology suite delivered primarily as a Microsoft Word add-in, so lawyers can work inside the document environment they already use rather than switching to a separate platform. Draft converts definitions and cross-references into navigable links, generates definitions and reference reports, and helps users access related information without losing context. Proof automates hundreds of legal-specific proofreading checks, including inconsistent terminology, capitalization, formatting, defined terms, and cross-references. Vault connects to document-management systems and clause libraries to find relevant precedent language, compare it with the current draft, and insert clauses together with associated definitions and cross-references. Enhance adds natural-language interrogation and analysis grounded in precise clauses and definitions across documents.

The benefit is faster, more consistent contract production with less manual scrolling, searching, and proofreading. Definely says its latest AI product, Enhance, is expected to deliver at least a 40% workflow speed improvement versus a traditional manual approach, while its integrated workflow is intended to preserve document formatting and keep final review and execution in Word.

Market

Definely competes in legal technology, specifically AI-assisted contract drafting, proofreading, review, clause retrieval, and document intelligence for complex, high-stakes transactional work. Its target customers are large law firms, major corporate legal departments, and lawyers handling M&A, banking, insurance, and sophisticated commercial agreements. The competitive set includes Spellbook, which also provides AI contract drafting and review, as well as BriefCatch, ClauseBase, and Legartis. Definely differentiates itself through deep Word integration, clause- and definition-level precision, and an emphasis on complex contracts rather than high-volume, lower-complexity review.

The company is not pre-revenue: it describes itself as a fast-growing Series B company and reported $30 million in Series B funding led by Revaia in June 2025. Company materials report more than 150 customers, including A&O Shearman, Slaughter and May, DLA Piper, and Dentons, with in-house corporate counsel also among its users; they also report that the US accounts for 30% of revenue, alongside a global user base of more than 40,000 active users across 30-plus countries. These figures indicate meaningful enterprise traction, although the user and geographic metrics are company-reported rather than audited financial disclosure.
