How AI is changing contract reviews for legal teams

Legal teams often struggle to apply their hard-earned expertise consistently across every contract they review. Even the best attorneys face challenges when manually checking agreements against internal rules, because human review is slow and mistakes can slip through. A new tool aims to fix this by automating part of the process. The system uses a company’s existing contract knowledge to flag risks and suggest fixes. Instead of starting from scratch each time, legal teams can now get instant risk assessments that highlight deviations from approved standards. For example, it can point out missing protections or clauses that don’t match company policies. Each issue comes with a clear explanation and a one-click fix, cutting review time from hours to minutes.The tool builds on an AI assistant already used by legal professionals to search, summarize, and analyze documents. Now, it takes that a step further by proactively assessing risks before any human review begins. Users can create playbooks from scratch or adapt existing ones, with AI helping to define rules when needed. Findings are rated by severity, and missing clauses are automatically detected. One key feature is traceability—every suggestion includes references and citations, making it easy to justify changes. Instead of just pointing out problems, the tool offers direct fixes that can be applied with a single click. Playbooks can be saved for future use, either by individuals or entire teams. The rollout happens as legal tech experts gather in Chicago for a major conference. Attendees can see the tool in action during a live demo and test it hands-on at a dedicated booth.
