PE firm Mint reduces legal due diligence from 4 to 2 weeks

When you’re acquiring 30+ practices in four years, every week matters. Mint Tandartsen needed to move faster without compromising on thoroughness, or overloading their legal partners.

About Mint

Mint Tandartsen is Belgium's fastest-growing dental platform, providing shared services to high-quality dental practices across the country. Since launching in 2020, they've completed roughly 30 acquisitions, helping dentists scale from 3-5 chairs to 7-8+ chairs while maintaining their clinical freedom and practice identity.

Their 4-person M&A team works with Cambrian Law firm to execute deals that preserve what dentists value most: their autonomy, their brand, and their relationships with patients and staff.

The bottleneck

Every acquisition followed the same pattern: after signing the letter of intent, Mint's team would organize a kickoff call with advisors, open a data room, and begin the legal due diligence process.

The problem was the first two weeks. With 100–200 documents scattered across multiple folders (corporate, contracts, litigation, social law, IP), the process was dominated by manual admin and missing information.

“The most time-consuming part is going back and forth with missing documents… getting a clear overview of what’s missing takes most of the time.”

Lawyers couldn’t even start substantive work immediately. The first meeting was mostly about missing files. Only later did the real legal analysis begin. Result: due diligence took 3–4 weeks minimum, creating real capacity issues when multiple deals ran in parallel.

Testing a new approach

Mint didn’t adopt Jurimesh blindly. They tested it on a completed deal and compared Jurimesh’s output with their law firm’s red flag report.

The results were eye-opening:

"Jurimesh spotted the same risks their lawyers had identified, plus added a few more."

"That's really been our turning point," the team recalls. They decided to pilot the platform on their next deal.

What changed with Jurimesh

Now, when Mint opens a data room, they simply share a document request list. The seller uploads files, and Jurimesh automatically structures the data room.

Next, Jurimesh scans the documents, surfaces legal risks and classifies them in minor, medium or high, with short recommendations based on historical deal patterns.

This flipped the lawyer’s role: instead of spending weeks processing documents and hunting for issues, Cambrian can immediately focus on strategic advice.

“They can focus on giving us the right recommendation rather than having to look at documents from A to Z.”

Results

Mint reduced due diligence from 3–4 weeks to 2–3 weeks per deal (a 25–33% time cut), which compounds across multiple acquisitions running in parallel.

Today, 6–8 people at Mint use Jurimesh, all without a legal background. Beyond due diligence, they also use it during negotiations for contract revisions and document comparisons across teams.

In Belgium’s competitive dental M&A market, that speed matters. Cutting weeks off diligence gives Mint a clear edge: faster closings, smoother transactions, and a better experience for the practices they acquire.
