Corporate Law Intelligence
Governance, M&A, and due-diligence analysis grounded in your corporate record. Same 17-section canonical report, corporate-flavored content.
What it does
Corporate Law Intelligence adapts the Nyrava engine to transactional and governance matters — articles, bylaws, operating and shareholder agreements, board minutes, resolutions, merger and purchase agreements, due-diligence productions, and § 220 books-and-records demands. It reuses every universal engine (evidence extraction, timeline reconstruction, contradiction detection, discovery-gap analysis, verification, hallucination detection) and specializes the finding modules, motion families, terminology, and legal-standards prompt to Delaware / MBCA corporate law. Findings render into the same locked 17-section canonical report — Executive Summary, Findings, Risks, Attorney Action Center, Work Product, etc. — with corporate content instead of criminal or civil.
How it works
- 1Step 1Upload the corporate corpus: charter documents, bylaws, operating or shareholder agreement, board minutes and consents, resolutions, cap table, disclosure schedules, merger/asset/stock purchase agreements, due-diligence memos, § 220 productions.
- 2Step 2Extraction identifies governance events (board actions, shareholder consents, amendments), entity structure (directors, officers, shareholders, affiliates), and financial-terms language (indemnities, escrows, MAC clauses, no-shops, break fees).
- 3Step 3Practice-area gating routes corporate-only finding modules (Caremark oversight, Revlon duties, § 220 gaps, self-dealing, missing consents, disclosure-schedule contradictions) to the analyzers while suppressing criminal-only agents (Miranda, chain of custody).
- 4Step 4Contradiction detection compares the same event across minutes, resolutions, disclosure schedules, and management presentations to surface backdated approvals, missing signatures, and inconsistent representations.
- 5Step 5The report generator writes the standard 17 sections using the corporate legal-standards block (DGCL, MBCA, BJR, Caremark, Revlon, Unocal, § 220, § 251, § 262, § 145 indemnification).
Benefits
Typical workflow
- 1Create a corporate matterPick 'Corporate law (governance, M&A, due diligence)' as the case type.
- 2Upload the corporate recordCharter, bylaws, agreements, minutes, consents, disclosure schedules, DD memos.
- 3Run analysisExtraction, evidence intelligence, timeline, contradictions, discovery gaps, corporate findings, and verification run end-to-end.
- 4Review the reportSame 17 canonical sections, corporate content — Executive Summary → Findings → Risks → Attorney Action Center → Work Product → Appendices.
Examples
Best practices
- Upload the full board book, not just the resolutions — deliberation records defeat or support the business judgment rule.
- Include the operating agreement or bylaws for every entity in the structure; corporate-only findings need the actual governance instrument.
- Attach the disclosure schedules with the purchase agreement — reps and schedules must be analyzed together.
- For § 220 work, upload the demand, the response, and any prior stockholder correspondence in the same corpus.
Attorney responsibilities
- Confirm the state of incorporation and controlling statute before relying on any DGCL-flavored analysis.
- Verify director independence and interestedness against the current corporate record, not the model's inference.
- Independently confirm that any Caremark, Revlon, or Unocal framing is supported by the specific factual predicate the doctrine requires.
- Do not file corporate work product without human review of every citation to a bylaw, agreement section, or governance document.
Common scenarios
Platform limitations
- Corporate Law Intelligence renders into the frozen 17-section canonical report — it does not produce a bespoke governance-only template.
- The engine defaults to Delaware law when the corpus does not specify a state of incorporation; it flags this assumption but does not choose law for you.
- Fiduciary-duty analysis for LLCs depends on the operating agreement, which the model reads as-is — contractual waivers or modifications must be confirmed by counsel.
- The verification pipeline suppresses fabricated board actions; it will not invent minutes or consents that are missing from the record.
