Secure AI, designed for the deal room
AI redaction, Q&A and search available in the data room M&A lawyers already trust – so speed never comes at the cost of privilege or control.
Tighter timelines. Bigger data rooms. Clients who expect sharper advice, faster. For M&A lawyers who want clarity, control and confidence, that's the brief now.
AI has changed what's possible in a virtual data room (VDR) – the secure online platform where deal documents are shared, reviewed and controlled during due diligence – but only if it can actually reach the documents that matter, without compromising privilege, confidentiality or your firm's control of the process.
Ansarada’s secure seal infrastructure is trusted by M&A practices at top-tier, mid-tier and boutique law firms, investment banks and corporate advisory teams across 170 countries, and used on more than 60,000 transactions. Every document, question and decision stay inside a single, ISO 27001-certified environment designed to the standard legal teams already expect from a VDR.
What's changed is how much of the manual work AI can now take off your desk, without a single document leaving the room.
Ask AiDA: Prompt-first, not search-first
Ansarada's AI assistant, AiDA, gives teams a prompt-first way to investigate documents within a VDR. Instead of searching folder by folder, lawyers start with a prompt – "summarise this document," "what are the key dates, parties and values?", "which questions are still unanswered?" – and AiDA finds the answer inside the room's own permissioned content.
AiDA selects the right AI capability for each task, from due diligence and Q&A to room activity, access management and sensitive-information review. Every response links back to its source, while deal data remains within Ansarada’s secure environment and is not used to train AI models.
Room admins stay firmly in control throughout. Permissions, access and feature availability are all set at the room level, so AI support never outpaces what a user is actually permitted to see – a distinction that matters as much for privilege as it does for productivity.
AI-Redact: Bulk redaction, without the privilege risk
For M&A lawyers, redaction isn't just a process – it's a privilege and confidentiality obligation. AI-Redact uses automated pattern recognition to flag emails, company names, IBANs, SWIFT codes and more, with up to 30 customisable search terms running at once.
It can redact more than 500 documents simultaneously, and if something's flagged that shouldn't be, un-redacting is as simple as unticking a box. No third-party tools, no duplicate versions floating around, no risk to your firm's reputation.
Bulk Q&A: Fewer repetitive requests, more control over who answers what
How many hours does your team lose to chasing down answers, reassigning queries and re-answering questions that have already been dealt with elsewhere? For M&A lawyers, manual Q&A is one of the biggest drains on billable time – especially when multiple bidders are running in parallel and the same question lands in five different inboxes.
Ansarada's Q&A tool routes questions straight to the right expert, enables bulk responses, and lets teams import prepared answers from Excel while keeping them in draft for partner review. AiDA can also flag similar previous questions before a new response is drafted, so no one's redoing work that's already been done.
Designed for the way deals in Australia and New Zealand actually run
None of this asks lawyers to change how they work. It's designed as part of the data room they're already using, governed by the same permissions, and backed by the same 20-plus-year track record.
That's the difference between AI as a general-purpose tool and AI as part of the system of record your deal already runs on. That’s Dealmaking. By Design.
