Capabilities & use
Can AI review contracts and run due diligence?
Yes — this is one of AI's strongest legal use cases. AI can read a contract in seconds, flag risk against your usual position, propose redlines, and work across a data room of hundreds of documents to surface obligations, gaps and inconsistencies. It does not replace the lawyer's judgment on what matters, and its findings must be verified — but for the volume work in review and diligence, it turns days into minutes.
Contract review
AI flags ambiguous, missing or conflicting clauses and measures each against your standard position rather than a generic template, then proposes redlines in your voice. A long agreement can be summarised with ranked risk before your coffee is cold.
Due diligence at volume
Pointed at a data room, AI reads the whole set, extracts obligations and key terms, and surfaces missing documents and inconsistencies that a manual review under time pressure can skim past. Volume is where it earns its place.
The limits
AI ranks and surfaces; the lawyer decides what is material and verifies the findings. The judgment stays human — what changes is how fast you get to it.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can AI review a contract?
A long agreement can be summarised with risk flags in seconds to minutes, against hours of manual review — but the output still needs a lawyer's eye before you act on it.
Can AI handle a whole data room?
Yes — strong legal AI works across hundreds of documents to extract obligations and surface gaps, which is exactly where manual diligence strains.
Is AI contract review accurate enough to rely on?
It is a powerful first pass. Treat its flags as leads to verify rather than final conclusions, and the speed is a genuine gain.
