LegalSifter

LegalSifter is a privately held contract technology company that combines software with attorney-led review services, an approach it markets as combined intelligence. It was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, under chief executive Kevin Miller. Growth equity firm Carrick Capital Partners invested in the business in March 2023.

The company built its early reputation on AI-assisted review of inbound contracts, supported by contract drafting authority Ken Adams, and sold a mix of software and outsourced sifting services. After the Carrick Capital Partners investment, it moved from review into the full contract lifecycle by acquiring Contract Logix of Lowell, Massachusetts in October 2024, adding drafting, negotiation, approval and repository capability plus a customer base in healthcare, education and manufacturing.

LegalSifter at a glance:

• Founded: Established in 2013 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by Kevin Miller, who continues to serve as the chief executive officer of the company.
• Headquarters: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, with a second base in Lowell, Massachusetts inherited from the Contract Logix acquisition.
• Ownership: Privately held and backed by growth equity firm Carrick Capital Partners, which invested in March 2023; not publicly traded and not part of a larger group.
• Legal Technology Portfolio: Contract Logix, the contract lifecycle management platform listed in this directory, alongside the LegalSifter AI contract review software and sifting services.
• Market Focus: Mid-market and enterprise organisations in the United States, concentrated in healthcare, education, technology and manufacturing, selling mainly to legal departments.

What legal teams should know: LegalSifter fits buyers who want contract review handled as a combined software and service engagement rather than purely as a licence, which suits legal teams without the capacity to run the process themselves. Because Contract Logix was acquired in 2024, buyers should confirm the integration roadmap between the two platforms and which one will carry future investment.
