Contract Review
& Analysis
AI agent reads contracts, identifies clauses, checks against standard templates, flags risks and deviations. From 4 hours to 20 minutes per contract.
Why Contract Review Is a Lever
Expensive expertise spent on pattern-matching
An experienced lawyer needs 3-4 hours to review a complex contract against standard templates. At 20 contracts per week, that is 2 full working days for someone who costs £200+ per hour. And clauses still get missed, because human attention fades after the third contract.
The problem is not the lawyers’ competence. The problem is that highly qualified, expensive experts spend the majority of their time on pattern-matching, a task that AI performs better, faster and more consistently.
At the same time, volumes are growing: more clients, more contracts, more compliance requirements. The answer cannot be simply to hire more lawyers, they are not available. The answer is to free the lawyers you have from the routine, so they can focus on what only humans can do: negotiation, strategy and client advice.

The Solution in Detail
Wie wir Contract Review automatisieren
01
How We Automate Contract Review
Document Intelligence
The AI agent reads the contract, recognises its structure, extracts individual clauses and identifies contract type, language and parties. Works with PDFs, Word documents and scanned contracts, even with poor scan quality or multilingual documents.
ABBYY Document Intelligence for OCR and structure recognition. Custom NLP models for legal terminology. Automatic segmentation into clauses, definitions and schedules.
02
Template Comparison & Clause Analysis
Every extracted clause is automatically checked against your standard templates and clause library. Deviations are identified, categorised and explained, semantically, not just by wording.
Semantic comparison trained on your specific templates. Also recognises paraphrased or reformulated clauses.
03
Risk Report
The AI agent produces a structured report: all flagged clauses with context, risk rating, recommended actions and, where available, comparison with similar contracts from the past.
Report includes: executive summary (1 page), clause-by-clause analysis with traffic-light rating, recommended negotiation points, comparison with historical contracts of the same type.
04
Review & Decision
The lawyer receives a prepared summary, reviews the findings in 15-20 minutes and makes the final decision. No blind trust in AI, but rather AI as first filter and the human as final decision-maker.
Feedback loop: the lawyer’s corrections feed back into the model. The more contracts reviewed, the better the analysis becomes, specific to your firm, your templates and your risk tolerance.
