AI for contract analysis

Find clauses, obligations and risks more quickly in lengthy contracts.

Contracts contain a lot of information, and it is not always recorded consistently. This makes it time-consuming to find clauses, contract terms and obligations. AI extracts predefined information from contracts and structures it for further review.

From an isolated possibility to a practical application

The application only becomes meaningful when it fits a specific task and the information available for that task.

The application does not provide an independent legal assessment; expert review remains necessary. That is why we define in advance what the solution should and should not do, how its output will be checked and who remains responsible.

What it delivers

Less manual reading

The application finds and structures information related to recurring questions and checks.

The same criteria as a starting point

Documents are analysed against predefined questions and assessment criteria.

More focus on exceptions

Staff have more time to consider context, deviations and the final judgement.

Our approach

  1. Define assessment questions

    We determine which information or criteria should appear in each document.

  2. Examine documents and examples

    We assess variation, quality and representative real-world cases.

  3. Set up the analysis

    We develop the application for the selected questions and output.

  4. Validate the results

    Subject-matter experts compare the analyses with the source documents and the existing way of working.

  5. Integrate and monitor

    We integrate the application into the process and monitor quality after it goes live.

Designed to fit your organisation

This service is relevant for organisations that draft or manage many contracts. The exact setup depends on the process, the available data and the risks associated with the application.

We therefore start with a clearly defined application and only expand it once the initial setup works in practice.

Frequently asked questions

This service addresses the following need: AI extracts predefined information from contracts and structures it for further review. Exactly how it works depends on the process and the available data.

The service may be relevant to organisations that draft or manage a large number of contracts. A clear need and usable information matter more than the size of the organisation.

That depends on the chosen application. We start with the question that needs to be addressed, then determine which data or sources are necessary and suitable.

No. For fixed, predictable tasks, conventional automation may be enough. We choose the simplest approach that addresses the need and add complexity only when necessary.

We define the scope of the application, check the results with users and put appropriate controls in place. Once the solution is in use, we monitor its performance and adjust it when the data, its use or the context changes.
