Situation
Paralegals were drowning in routine contract reviews. They spent 4-6 hours daily manually checking NDAs and MSAs for standard clauses, creating a massive bottleneck for deal closures.
Objectives
- Automate the initial review of standard contracts
- Flag risky clauses that deviate from the playbook
- Reduce turnaround time from days to minutes
What We Did
We built an agent tuned on their historical contracts to understand legal context, not just keywords.
The system highlights non-standard liability caps and jurisdiction clauses, providing a "risk score" for human review.
Integrated directly into their email workflow. Lawyers forward a PDF, and the agent replies with a summary analysis within 2 minutes.
Challenges & Solutions
PDF Parsing Accuracy
Solution: Implemented advanced OCR with a secondary verification step.
Lawyer Trust
Solution: We started with a "shadow mode" where the AI only made suggestions, proving 99% accuracy before full rollout.
