Fried Frank Selects Centari for Strategic Technology Partnership

Fried Frank today announced its strategic partnership with Centari, the platform for Deal Intelligence. Centari's reasoning product harnesses deal intelligence, enabling the firm to rapidly synthesize key information on sophisticated corporate transactions.

Centari's Deal Reasoning Engine moves beyond the capabilities of generic legal AI assistants, employing proprietary model orchestration and document processing to transform deal documents into high-fidelity, actionable insights. Fried Frank worked directly with Centari to shape the strategic direction of the product.

"The legal tech landscape is crowded with tools that make big promises but lack the substance for high-stakes legal work," said Conan Hines, Fried Frank's Director of Practice Innovation. "We believe true innovation is built on substance, not just speed. This partnership validates our belief that the right technology can amplify our collaborative way of working while maintaining the pragmatic, business-oriented service that defines our practice."

"Fried Frank has taken a considered approach to implementing generative AI products. After a thorough evaluation process, we believe Centari will provide demonstrable value to our attorneys and benefit our clients," added Sean Sullivan, the firm's Chief Information Officer.

"We are honored to partner with Fried Frank, a firm that shares our commitment to precision and excellence in dealmaking," said Kevin Walker, CEO and founder of Centari and a former M&A lawyer. "Their thoughtful approach to technology adoption has made them an ideal partner. We are incredibly proud that our platform is now a core part of Fried Frank's strategy to deliver superior, data-driven outcomes for their clients."

Fried Frank is committed to adopting technology that is both transformative and deeply aligned with its core mission of delivering business-oriented outcomes for its clients. Centari's focus on security and accuracy aligns with Fried Frank's rigorous standards for client confidentiality and professional excellence.
