Ab Initio

Ab Initio is a Latin phrase, meaning 'from the beginning'.

If a contract is "Void Ab Initio", for example, it means it was void from the beginning and cannot be altered.

Gatekeeper makes it easy to search for this terminology in your contracts through its powerful OCR technology.

You can search for 'Ab Initio' within all of your documents from any part of the platform.
