Centralize Entity Records and Strengthen Corporate Governance
SmartSuite’s Entity & Corporate Governance Management solution provides a structured, scalable system to manage legal entities, corporate structures, and governance records across the organization. It enables organizations to move from fragmented spreadsheets and static documents to a centralized, governed system of record.
Organizations can manage:
- Legal entities and subsidiaries
- Ownership structures and relationships
- Board members and governance roles
- Corporate records and documentation
- Regulatory and compliance obligations
With a centralized entity management system, legal and governance teams gain full visibility into organizational structure, ownership, and compliance requirements.

- Legal Matter Management for governance-related work
- Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) for entity agreements
- Risk & Compliance workflows for regulatory alignment
- Finance & Administration for entity-level financial tracking
