Zuva Sell-Side M&A Legal Diligence

Zuva is a sell-side M&A tool offering two products. Diligence Reviews pair experienced lawyers with purpose-built AI to scan contracts for deal-relevant provisions, identify which agreements are fully executed, in force, and properly documented, and deliver actionable reports and disclosure-schedule-ready outputs at a stated ~80% less cost than Biglaw firms. Bidder Question Management ingests questionnaires from Excel and Word, flags similar questions across bidders, surfaces prior answers, and enables team coordination. The page states diligence reviews have a 1-2 week turnaround and typically cost ~$10K-$75K, and that bidder question management offers same-day setup and is in beta with pilots available. The site also mentions SOC 2 Type II certification and that Zuva was founded by the team behind Kira Systems.
