The contract negotiation platform
Every contract is won or lost in the negotiation.
Where European in-house teams run the whole negotiation — first draft to signature, on one sovereign platform.
The negotiation room
One document. Your review on one side, theirs on the other.

The negotiation gap
Legal work moved to the cloud. Negotiation stayed in the inbox.
Contract repositories store the outcome. The value is decided in the rounds before it — and those still happen over email.
Nine files called final
One living document, every round versioned.
Redlines from memory
Redlines from your playbook, every time.
The business negotiates in the gaps
Legal, finance and the deal owner on the same text.
Your drafts on someone else's cloud
Your drafts in the EU, isolated to your tenant.
Data sovereignty
Sovereignty is an architecture, not a checkbox.
A contract under negotiation carries the price, the concessions and the leverage. Apua runs entirely on EU infrastructure in Finland — residency is where the system was built to live, not a setting an administrator can switch off.
By default, no tenant data is used to train any model unless separately agreed. Enterprise tenants can hold their own key.
Transport
TLS 1.3 everywhere, mutual TLS between our services.
Storage
AES-256 with customer-managed keys, rotated automatically.
Database
Row-level security — a bug still cannot reach another tenant.
Document
Contract files encrypted under keys your tenant controls.
Model context
Retrieval scoped to your tenant before the search runs.
Underneath all five: a hash-chained audit log, where altering one entry breaks every entry after it.
How it works
The whole negotiation, on one surface.
Intake
Their draft arrives. Bring it in and point it at the playbook that governs it.
Review
A clause-by-clause check against your positions, ordered by risk, fallbacks already drafted.
Negotiate
Work the document live with the business, your counsel and the counterparty.
Approve
Route to the people your policy requires, in the order it requires them.
Sign
Close with built-in e-signature, then track what the agreement committed you to.
A person decides, every time. Apua proposes; your team disposes.
