Built for companies with a legal team of one...
or none.
Written to hold up for the ones with a hundred.
The old way is broken.
Redline after redline. Posturing disguised as diligence. Legal loops that drag on for weeks while deals die in inboxes. We've all lived it.
Transactency is a contract negotiation platform built on a radical idea: what if both sides could see the same map? Our patented approach puts both parties on one shared playbook — surfacing what's actually negotiable, showing the common positions, and freeing you to focus on the decisions that matter.
No more guessing. No more ego with a red pen. Just structured transparency that builds trust and gets deals done.
#TrustQuickly
How it works
Set your positions once. Use them on every agreement you send, and every one you receive. No reinventing the wheel, no markup mayhem.
Beta · Practice mode
Practice first. We'll earn the real deals.
Doing contracts a new way can feel risky... we get it. So right now, every deal on Transactency is a practice deal. Build your playbook templates, send an agreement to a colleague or a friendly counterparty, negotiate it, even sign it. The signed copy is stamped non-binding, so nothing counts and nothing's at stake.
Better yet, sit in the other chair. See exactly what your counterparty sees, including the options you didn't pick. Try doing that with a redline. Poke at it. Push on it. Get comfortable.
And the playbook templates you build now carry over. When live deals open, your standards are already set... call it a head start.
Trust gets earned, not asked for. This is where we start earning yours.
Why Transactency?
Because life's too short for redline theater.
Less to argue about
In commercial practice, the dirty little secret is that most clauses in a contract are standard positions nobody actually negotiates. Transactency clears that in one pass, so the back-and-forth shrinks to the 30% or so that actually moves the deal.
A fraction of the cost
Outside counsel runs $500–$1,000 per redline cycle, and that's the friendly end. Transactency handles the standardized work up front... so the expensive hours go to the few issues that actually need them.
Trust from the first term
Both sides see the same playbook and the same options, including the ones the other party didn't pick. No hidden balls, no surprise markups, no wondering what got slipped into paragraph 12.
Where deals stop going to die
You know the deal that slipped a quarter stuck "in legal"? That's the redline loop, and good deals rot in it. Transactency kills the loop... momentum survives the paperwork, and the deal closes while it's still hot.
Think of it like buying a suit.
I spent decades as a deal lawyer watching good deals die in the redline loop. So I built what I wish I'd had.
Current legal tools only let you buy off the rack or get a fully custom-tailored suit. We fill the void.

What people are saying
"Three major trends are developing in today's business world: digitization, democratization, and globalization. Transactency, with its disruptive approach to deal-making, incorporates all three concepts into its platform."
"We work with thousands of growing companies, and one of the most consistent friction points we see is contracting. What stands out about Transactency is its approach—bringing clarity and shared expectations early, before negotiations slow teams down."
"When I look at Transactency, the thought that immediately comes to mind is 'disruptive.' The people there have truly reinvented a practice that has sorely needed change. It's simple. It's understandable. It's efficient."
"This elegant platform leverages technology to increase trust between parties, which is the key to expediting deal closure, and promises to radically change the way agreements get done on a day-to-day basis."
