useABI is an associate built for M&A teams, designed to work alongside lawyers from the seller’s first draft through closing.
A law firm brings useABI onto its deal teams much as it would an experienced midlevel associate. It arrives with built-in M&A knowledge, and the firm teaches it its preferred positions, drafting style and way of working. Corporate lawyers and specialists work with it on the same transaction, within one shared deal workspace.
useABI prepares purchase agreement markups in tracked changes, M&A issues lists, contract diligence trackers, diligence reports and supplemental request lists. Every proposed change shows where it was made, why it was made and what it was based on, allowing lawyers to review the work before anything reaches the client.
By taking on the first turn of transaction documents and supporting work across the deal, useABI helps law firms increase their capacity to handle M&A transactions while maintaining their preferred approach to drafting and negotiation. Lawyers remain responsible for reviewing the work, and partners make the final decisions.
Founded in New York in 2026 by Abdulrasheed Ijaodola and Adam Usman, useABI is building toward a future where every M&A team has an associate of its own.
