About Mint
Mint is a PE-backed dental care group with an active acquisition strategy. With multiple acquisitions per year, the speed and quality of legal due diligence directly impacts their deal pipeline and their ability to grow.
The bottleneck
Each acquisition required a thorough legal review of the target’s contracts, employment agreements, and regulatory compliance. This process typically took 4 weeks, creating a bottleneck that slowed down their entire acquisition timeline.
As deal volume increased, the problem compounded. External legal costs were rising, timelines were slipping, and the team had limited visibility into where reviews stood at any given moment.
Testing a new approach
Mint piloted Jurimesh on a recent deal, uploading the same data room that had previously been manually reviewed by their law firm. The results were immediate: Jurimesh identified all the risks from the manual review, and flagged additional ones that had been missed.
“We ran Jurimesh alongside our usual process on the first deal. It caught everything we caught, plus more. After that, the decision was easy.”
What changed
By using Jurimesh for initial risk screening, Mint’s counsel could focus their time on the most critical findings rather than reviewing every document from scratch. This shifted their role from document reviewers to strategic advisors, spending time where they add the most value.
Results
Legal due diligence dropped from 4 weeks to 2 weeks or less. Counsel spends less time on routine review and more time giving recommendations. External legal costs have come down significantly, and deal timelines have accelerated.
