When the cost of a single LP Transfer Agreement is hitting six figures, it’s no wonder tensions are rising between GPs and LPs. LPs are increasingly scrutinizing how fees and expenses are calculated — and the higher these costs climb, the more pressure GPs feel to maintain strong relationships with their investors. Ontra’s Contract Automation solution steps in to streamline the LP transfer process, using AI-powered technology to simplify negotiation, execution, and management of these agreements. Our AI legal tech helps GPs respond to transfer requests efficiently, shorten turnaround times, and reduce costs for their investors — ultimately strengthening the GP-LP bond. In today’s competitive private markets, that efficiency is a game-changer. Learn more - https://lnkd.in/ggKwhX_W
