Contract Review & Document Automation for a Commercial Law Firm

Associates spent significant time on the first pass of every contract, just to locate and summarize key clauses.

• Key clauses located and summarized manually in every contract
• Necessary work, but not the highest use of associate time
• Deeper analysis delayed until the first pass was finished

Built a document pipeline that extracts key clauses and drafts a first-pass summary for review.

• Termination, liability, and indemnification clauses extracted automatically
• Structured first-pass summary generated for every contract
• Every summary reviewed and approved by an associate before use

The tool's job was to accelerate human judgment, not replace it — that framing was essential to adoption.
