Developed at Columbia University, eBrevia was created to assist corporate attorneys, in-house counsel, and business executives perform tasks more efficiently, accurately, and cost effectively. Using machine learning techniques, the company’s software can extract and summarize legal provisions from a wide array of legal documents. The company’s products have applications for due diligence, document management, and document drafting. eBrevia was selected as one of four national winners in the Startup America DEMO Competition and designated by CIO.com as having one of the top ten enterprise products at DEMO Fall 2012. The company also recently received the Most Promising Software Product of the Year award from the Connecticut Technology Council.
