Since the launch of Quinn, I’ve been reflecting on how this platform is already transforming how capital markets deals get done. Having spent years in financial reporting, I’ve seen the “before and after” firsthand — and what we’ve built at Toppan Merrill is genuinely different.
Our goal was simple: to design a platform that directly addresses the business pain points of complex regulatory document preparation — especially for capital markets deal attorneys and their clients.
Before Quinn: Too many tools, not enough control
For years, deal teams relied on a patchwork of tools — Word, Excel, email chains, and PDFs. These were never designed for the speed, sensitivity, or control that capital markets transactions demand.
Other SaaS platforms tried to modernize the process but missed a critical nuance: attorneys need control. The “everyone edits everything all at once” model may work in finance or accounting systems — but it doesn’t fit the culture or confidentiality of a live IPO or M&A transaction.
With Quinn, attorneys maintain the precision and control they require while still collaborating seamlessly with bankers, issuers, and service teams — all in one secure environment. The result is fewer late-night markups, less risk, and faster filings.
Revolutionizing how teams work together
Quinn brings together what was once a messy, multi-tool process into one cohesive workspace.
- Smart Format automates complex styling and publishing.
- Smart Sync connects live data from Excel® with zero manual linking.
- Smart Collaboration enables deal teams to work together securely and efficiently.
These innovations eliminate hours of non-value-add work, reduce rework, and let attorneys focus on what matters: delivering flawless deal execution for their clients.
Built by teams who listen, not assume
What makes Quinn truly different isn’t just the technology — it’s the way we built it.
At Toppan Merrill, our Product, Engineering, and Design teams operate as one — organized around customer outcomes rather than internal silos. We run ongoing “jobs-to-be-done” discovery sessions and UX validations directly with attorneys and clients, ensuring we solve the right problems, not just build the next feature.
That constant customer feedback loop has led to revolutionary breakthroughs our users didn’t even know they needed — but now can’t imagine working without.
The new standard for capital markets
Quinn isn’t just another platform. It’s a reimagining of how deals move from draft to filing — and it’s reshaping expectations across the industry.
By putting control back in the hands of the deal quarterback — and automating the work that doesn’t add value — Quinn is transforming the deal process from end to end.
Faster to market. Fewer errors. Better outcomes.
