LEHI, Utah (PRWEB) November 07, 2018 -- NetDocuments, the leading secure cloud-based content services platform for law firms, corporate legal teams and compliance departments, announced today, it acquired Closing Room, a deal management application developed by Chapman and Culter LLP to streamline transactional closing processes.
