I'm a marketing director at Litera and want to correct some factual inaccuracies. I recommend changing the introductory paragraph to the following:
Litera is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Litera primarily develops software for law firms in four key areas: document drafting, transaction management, litigation management, and firm intelligence.
The description uses past tense but the company still exists as "Litera" (no accent on "e") after the merger of Litéra, Microsystems, XRef and The Sackett Group. [1] [2] [3]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Some of the changes requested by this editor are promotional in tone. In addition, some of the sources are weak, and should be replaced from stronger, more credible websites. With this, none of the existing sources have been properly cited. The editor who made this edit request should read WP:GA for comparable articles if they decide to resubmit. |
I'm a marketing director at Litera. I recommend adding a factual history of Litera in a new section:
Litera was initially founded in 1995 in Chicago, Illinois, as Microsystems. The company quickly grew from its initial focus on a specialty solution—helping law firms transition from WordPerfect to Microsoft Word—to a broader emphasis on helping lawyers perfect their documents. In September 2016, Microsystems merged with XRef, a UK-based software company that designed proofreading software. [1] Avaneesh Marwaha, who formerly served as chief operating officer at Nexonia and Keno Kozie, was named CEO of Microsystems in 2016.
In August 2017, four document-focused companies merged to create Litera Microsystems: Microsystems, Litéra, XRef, and the Sackett Group. [2] [3] The merger was backed by K1 Investment Management, an investment firm focused on enterprise software companies globally. K1 invested over $100 million in the deal. [4]
In May 2019, K1 Investment Management sold Litera Microsystems to Hg Capital Trust, and the company was rebranded as Litera. [5] Since then, Litera has embarked on a comprehensive growth strategy, acquiring legal technology providers from around the globe to establish four discrete business units: document drafting, transaction management, litigation management, and firm intelligence. [6]
Litera has added to its initial document drafting technology with the acquisitions of Best Authority (2020), Bestpractix (2020), and DocsCorp (2021). [7] [8] [9]
Litera expanded beyond document drafting into transaction management when it acquired Doxly and Workshare in 2019 to create the Litera Transact platform. [10] [11]
In 2021, Litera launched its litigation management platform, Litera Litigate, through the acquisitions of Kira Systems, artificial intelligence-based contract review and analysis software, and Allegory Law, a cloud-based litigation platform designed for complex, document-intensive litigation. [12] [13]
Also in 2021, Litera acquired the Foundation Software Group to form its firm intelligence business unit. [14] A series of supporting acquisitions followed, including Clocktimizer, a budgeting and pricing platform; Objective Manager, a strategic planning, performance management, and talent engagement platform: and Concep and truelogic, B2B relationship marketing technologies. [15] [16] [17]
Litera is continuing to grow its business with the acquisitions of invoice processing and shipping specialist PS/Ship and collaboration manager Prosperoware in January 2022. [18] [19]
In 2022, Sheryl Hoskins, who formerly served as chief operating officer at Upserve, was named CEO. [20]
Today, Litera is a multinational company with around 1,000 team members. Its offices span the globe from the United States to Toronto, Canada; Sydney, Australia; Ahmedabad, India; London, England; Utrecht, the Netherlands; and Chernigov, Ukraine.
The company has changed substantially from what is described currently and these changes could be of factual interest to the Wikipedia audience. The original Litera went through a merger with Microsystems, XRef, and the Sackett Group in 2017 and has since acquired thirteen additional companies. I recommend including a timeline of acquisitions to provide a more accurate representation of the company to date.

The company website doesn't seem to use an accent on the "e". Is this article at right title? Pam D 06:39, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
I see from the above that the company does not use the accent, so have moved the article. Pam D 09:20, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
