Contract review at machine speed
an Am Law 100 firm
faster first-pass review
more contracts reviewed per week
of flags attorney-confirmed
Associates spent nights on first-pass contract review, flagging risky clauses and checking them against firm standards. Volume outpaced capacity, turnaround slipped, and the repetitive work burned out junior talent. The firm wanted to compress first-pass review without letting an automated tool make calls that belong to a lawyer.
How we approached it
Worked with partners to encode the firm's clause standards and risk positions.
Built a review assistant that flags deviations, missing terms, and risky language with citations.
Kept every judgment advisory so attorneys confirm or reject each flag.
Tested against partner-reviewed contracts to validate precision before deployment.
“First pass is done before I sit down. I review the flags, apply judgment, and turn deals around far faster than we ever could before.”
No. It flags deviations and risks with citations, and an attorney confirms or rejects every judgment. The lawyer remains accountable for the call.
Partners encoded the firm's clause positions and risk standards, and the assistant was validated against partner-reviewed contracts before it went live.
