LPA partners with OpenRisk to enhance documentation digitization in markets
“With Contract Navigator, we can now offer advanced analytics, fully automated loan booking, data integration with REST APIs, a clause library to ease and speed up the negotiation and generation of trading agreements or any other type of financial markets documents.”
LPA has enhanced its Contract Navigator solution by integrating OpenRisk’s micro-services into its offering, thus delivering an improved document digitization and advanced analytics.
LPA’s Contract Navigator offers a substitute of paper documents in capital and debt markets by providing a high-impact digital interface. OpenRisk is capable of enhancing the solution by introducing computer vision, semantic web, state-of-the-art natural language processing, and machine learning algorithms for significant increase in productivity and efficiencies.
The OpenRisk platform transforms legal language and tabular data into readily usable facts, rules, and executable mathematical expressions.
OpenRisk will integrate Contract Navigator to help digitize legal contracts in the financial markets, namely trading agreements such as ISDA/ CSA, syndicated lending agreements, credit agreements, term sheets, funding requests and agent notices.
Contract Navigator will also be integrated with OpenRisk business applications such as Covenant Management via API. Covenant Management applications can be used to effectively extract, calendar, track, monitor, and manage covenants to bridge the gap between contractual obligations or intents, and operational outcomes.

Keith O’Brien, Chief Commercial Officer at LPA, said: “There is no other solution in the market that competes with Contract Navigator and provides such a comprehensive and flexible solution for banks’ digitization needs, both current now and in the future. At LPA, our goal is to help clients defy old processes and deploy innovation that places them at the forefront of the industry – and Contract Navigator has been developed with this in mind.”

With Contract Navigator, we can now offer advanced analytics, fully automated loan booking, data integration with REST APIs, a clause library to ease and speed up the negotiation and generation of trading agreements or any other type of financial markets documents.
