Overall Satisfaction with Kira Systems

We have used Kira System to assist with the first review of large data-sets in the context of transactions.
To date, 3 of our practice groups have used the tool—our Corporate, Property, and Employment teams.
Being a mid-sized firm we don't have teams of people to review large-ish document sets. Even if we did, clients don't have the appetite to pay for teams of people to identify and extract key terms. The value is not in identification and extraction but rather in the legal team's review of those terms. Using Kira assists us in meeting the expectation of our clients. They appreciate that we form strategic partnerships with others, such as providers of legal tech to help provide the best legal service and keep the costs down. Using Kira to identify and extract key terms means that our legal teams can focus on the analysis and are often earlier on in the process due to Kira's ability to undertake this task very quickly irrespective of it being a large and often unstructured data-set.
  • Review of large unstructured document sets very quickly. Often the identification and extraction of identified key terms can happen in a few minutes.
  • Many pre-build key terms particularly for mergers and acquisitions.
  • Training Kira to recognize locally used terms and concepts is easy to do.
  • Some project management functionality i.e. the ability to set up project groups and assign tasks to members in the project team.
  • More assistance with the building of locally used terms and clauses particularly for smaller firms who don't have the people to sit and train.
  • Nicer looking standard templates.
  • Being able to undertake reviews of larger document sets quickly and more cost effectively.
The local client relationship manager in Australia is great. The training and support portal with the very quick self-help wikis is fantastic. Quick to respond if you need phone support.
It is easy to get started and use. The dashboard is clean and there aren't too many tiles and buttons so it's easy to find what you need. It's intuitive. Functions are typically found where you would expect them to be.

KIRA is well placed to assist with the review of large sets of documents quickly. Particularly terms that are used and recognized in a number of jurisdictions (USA/Australia/UK), assignment, and change in control. Review documents where terms to review are very specific to the jurisdiction outside the USA, for example, property terms in Australia.
