Polsinelli Collaborates with Equall to Advance AI-Enabled Diligence for Venture Capital Practice
Polsinelli today announced its collaboration with Equall, an AI-native platform for executing and managing corporate legal work, to support innovation within the firm’s Venture Capital & Emerging Growth Companies Practice (VCEG). Over the past year, Polsinelli’s VCEG attorneys have worked closely with Equall to help shape AI-enabled workflows focused on one of the most complex and time-intensive aspects of venture transactions: capitalization diligence, including “cap table tie-outs” and corporate records verification. As documents are uploaded, Equall automatically structures information, cross checks critical financial information between multiple sources and produces preliminary outputs that attorneys can validate directly within the platform.
Equall is building a persistent infrastructure for legal reality and creating the corporate legal ledger: a continuously updated, verified record of a company’s legal state — ownership, governance, personnel and beyond. In doing so, Equall provides a centralized, structured view of key legal data points that supports attorney review and validation, enabling lawyers and clients to more effectively manage and evolve a company’s legal state across its lifecycle. Polsinelli has now embedded Equall across the VCEG practice, where it is being used daily.
“Capitalization diligence is foundational to venture financings and exits, but it has historically required significant manual effort across the industry, including reconstruction and verification,” said Prithvi Tanwar, Polsinelli shareholder in the firm’s Venture Capital & Emerging Growth Companies practice. “Equall built a solution that shows its work and surfaces the exact issues we care about. From day one, they listened closely to our workflow priorities and areas for enhancement and iterated with our feedback as their first customer. That collaborative approach is central to our strategy of adopting AI that improves speed and efficiency while maintaining oversight and avoiding duplicative efforts.”
Jorge Mattamouros, Founder of Equall, added: “Our focus is execution. By handling the mechanics of data-intensive processing work, Equall enables teams to move more quickly from documents to judgment — enhancing efficiency, consistency of review and the overall value delivered to clients. Our goal is to reduce the time spent aggregating and organizing underlying data, allowing lawyers to focus on legal analysis and judgement.”
Through detailed feedback and hands-on engagement, Polsinelli attorneys contributed to the development of realistic workflows designed to organize and structure large volumes of corporate documents, surface inconsistencies and streamline review. The effort aligns with the firm’s broader strategy of adopting technology in targeted, practice-informed ways that enhance client service while maintaining high professional standards.
Polsinelli’s Venture Capital and Emerging Growth practice is focused on representing investment funds and venture-backed companies across a range of industry verticals, with a special concentration on disruptive technology, consumer, food and beverage, health care and biotech/life sciences. While primarily focused on growth and later-stage equity, we routinely represent seed funds and start-ups, and other pre-Series A companies. The team’s approach and processes allow our clients to receive thorough and diligent counsel, but with the speed, pace and economics that venture capital requires.
