Turn legal documents into structured data.
DocLD helps law firms, legal ops, and counsel process high-volume, multi-format documents where precision matters. Parse contracts, discovery, filings, and policy docs with one API — layout-aware extraction, OCR for scans, and citation-ready chunks for RAG and compliance.
Contracts and agreements
Term sheets, clauses, dates, and key terms live in dense legal text.
Contracts, term sheets, and agreements combine clauses, dates, and key terms where precision matters. DocLD parses PDFs and documents with layout-aware extraction so you get clean text and structure. Use the Extract API with schemas to pull parties, dates, obligations, and covenants with citations back to the source for due diligence and contract management.
Parse returns chunks with page and bounding-box context so your pipelines stay traceable and audit-ready.
Discovery and litigation
Document review and production demand citation-ready, retrievable chunks.
E-discovery and litigation support require linking every finding back to its source. DocLD Parse returns chunks with page ranges and optional bounding boxes; build RAG and review tools that show where each answer came from. Ingest unstructured productions and feed structured, traceable data into your review platform or internal tools.
Use the same API for PDFs, images, and Office documents — no format-specific integrations required.
Compliance and auditability
Policy docs and regulatory filings need traceable outputs.
Policy documents, regulatory filings, and compliance packs require linking every output back to its source. DocLD Parse returns chunks with page ranges and optional bounding boxes; Extract can pull structured fields with citations. Build RAG and agent flows that show where each answer came from for audit trails and regulatory review.
Run parsing and extraction via API in your own environment, with configurable presets and webhooks for batch jobs.
Long legal documents
Briefs, filings, and depositions span hundreds of pages.
Briefs, court filings, and deposition transcripts can run to hundreds of pages, with data that must be preserved and retrievable. DocLD supports files up to 100MB with semantic, fixed-size, or page-based chunking so you can tune for RAG quality and context windows.
Use the async Parse endpoint and webhooks for large documents and batch jobs — no need to block on synchronous responses.
Scans and handwritten
Signatures, forms, and legacy documents in mixed formats.
Signed agreements, court forms, and legacy files often arrive as scans or mixed handwriting and print. DocLD uses VLM-based OCR with 50+ languages, auto-detection, and table extraction. Enable agentic mode for better accuracy on complex forms and handwritten fields.
Push parsed text and structure into matter management, contract databases, or your own systems via a single ingestion pipeline.
