About Us

We reimagine how people work together to find agreement and get their deals done

At xMentium, we streamline dealmaking end-to-end from quick first drafts to final e-Signatures. As the leading Language Collaboration Platform provider for legal teams, we are passionate about helping some of the most innovative and fast-moving companies in the world get their deals done faster and with better outcomes.

Tackling the mystery of why contracting is so slow and messy, our team combines expertise in contract processes, translation, and legal operations to deliver solutions that legal teams like. Pioneers in legal engineering and emerging technologies, we create new ways for legal teams to work with each other and their business partners.

xMentium was founded in 2019 by Paul Lippe and Graham Neumann. Graham and the DevOps team are based in Calgary, Alberta. Paul leads xMentium's worldwide team from Denver, Colorado.
