GBL’s asset management platform, Sienna Investment Managers, has selected France’s DiliTrust and Luxembourg’s Docify to accelerate the digitalisation of its legal services.

“We are very pleased to assist Sienna’s legal team in automating all internally produced legal and administrative documents. This is a unique opportunity to help Sienna’s legal team grow and keep pace with an ever-growing legal practice. We are also very excited to see connected to DiliTrust, as this will allow for additional data to be integrated into the document automation process, making it even more efficient,” said Docify co-founder Simon Joly.

Sienna Investment Managers is the kind of client a startup dreams of convincing. The asset management platform of the investment holding company Groupe Bruxelles Lambert (GBL), which has a presence in major European capitals, including Luxembourg, and in Seoul, manages more than €30bn in assets.

“Within Sienna’s legal team, we wanted to be able to focus on high value-added tasks for our operational teams and therefore reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks,” explained Sienna IM’s legal operation officer, Quentin Ramaget. “Docify appeared to be the most appropriate tool to meet this challenge. We also wanted to have a clear view of the group's governance with a tool that brings together all the information and documents needed by our companies, and to share important data with the operational teams. The DiliTrust Governance suite fulfils this role perfectly and is used daily by many people internally.”

Docify was created by two lawyers and a financial director, Simon Joly, Christopher Georgeson and Jean-Marie Bontemps, who wanted to automate the drafting of useful documents and make it easier to share them in an operational way. The Luxembourg legaltech promises to save 95% of the time spent on these tasks.
