Pune-based consulting and solutions integration company Nihilent has inked an agreement to partner with Brightleaf Solutions, Inc. headquartered in Massachusetts, in developing the latter’s new, advanced platform for legal document abstraction.

“Brightleaf complements our other relationships in US-based technology start-ups, particularly in the areas of analytics and business intelligence,” Minoo Dastur, President and COO of Nihilent, said in a statement.

“They have identified an emerging source of important business data, legal documents, that allow enterprise clients to better understand their customers, vendors and partners. Delivering insights is a core component of Nihilent’s services,” he added.

Samir Bhatia, CEO, Brightleaf Solutions, said, “Together, we’ve defined the architecture for Brightleaf’s new automated abstraction platform. The development team has been assembled, and it includes some very high level, senior Nihilent architects and technical staff. We are planning delivery for Q1 2015.”

Nihilent is one of the leading companies offering solutions that aid data-driven decision-making. In legal document abstraction, accessing the commercial terms, legal provisions, and obligations across thousands of legal contracts yield important information about a corporation’s operations.

Brightleaf uses advanced semantic intelligence software to analyse many thousands of disparate, text-based contract files to abstract and distill all the key attributes into an easily searchable, structured database.
