Lawden vs Intralinks
Intralinks and Datasite pioneered the virtual data room. But their platforms show their age — clunky UX, complex pricing, and per-user licensing that punishes collaboration. Lawden was built for how modern legal teams actually work.
Solutions
Built for speed and simplicity.
Modern, intuitive UX
Lawden looks and feels like a modern application — not a legacy enterprise tool. Onboarding takes minutes, not training sessions. Your team will actually want to use it.
Simple, transparent pricing
No per-user licensing. No per-project minimums. Pay per active matter. Invite as many external collaborators — clients, co-counsel, regulators — as you need, at no extra cost.
Fast setup, instant rooms
Create a deal room in seconds. Invite participants by email. No lengthy configuration, no folder hierarchy planning, no admin training required.
Built-in client portal
Every deal room comes with a branded client portal out of the box. Clients see only their matter — no separate VDR access to configure and manage.
