  • Paralegals close files. Octelligence is built around that, not around enterprise feature checklists.
  • Every client corporation in a consistent structure. Same templates, same registers, same audit trail.
  • Portfolio Licensing is published and predictable. No 'call us for a quote' for 50-corporation firms.
Why this hub exists

What a working corporate paralegal actually needs

The job is not glamorous and the tools mostly know it. You're keeping minute books current across a portfolio that grew faster than the filing system did. You're drafting resolutions, running annual returns, issuing and cancelling certificates, and answering 'can you send us the register of shareholders?' on a Friday at 4:45.

Athennian is built for the corporate-secretary departments at large firms. It's powerful and expensive. Most paralegals at mid-sized firms don't need every feature, they need the work to close cleanly. That's the gap Octelligence fills, with published Portfolio Licensing for 25 to 500+ client corporations.

This hub is the working paralegal's path: the jurisdiction guides, the topic playbooks, the annual filing lookup, and the firm-managed workspace product page.

Common questions

Frequently asked

For most firms managing 25 to 500 client corporations, yes. Athennian is the right call once you're managing 1,000+ entities with deep PMS integrations. Below that, Octelligence covers the same core work at a published, much lower price. The vs. Athennian comparison page goes through the trade-offs in detail.

Yes. CSV import for corporations, directors, officers, shareholders, and share issuances. Most firms migrate a working portfolio in days, not months. Plan a 60-90 day overlap if you're coming off another system.

No. Role-based access. Partners see the whole firm portfolio. Paralegals see their assigned client corporations. Clients see only their own corporation. Firm-wide audit log shows who did what, across the whole portfolio.

Quebec and New Brunswick (officially bilingual) corporations operating in French are fully supported, with French templates for resolutions, registers, and certificates. The platform UI is available in English and Canadian French — useful for firms with cross-border US/Canadian portfolios.

One searchable list of every director, officer, and shareholder across your entire firm portfolio. Run conflict checks, spot interlocking directorships, answer 'which of our clients does this person sit on?' without opening file after file.
