The queue is the problem
A lean legal team gets the same requests all week. Sales wants a customer's paper approved by Friday, procurement forwards a vendor MSA, and someone needs to know if the NDA from last spring covers the new project. Most of the effort is finding the handful of clauses that deviate from your standard.
Your positions, applied consistently
Custom playbooks on Team and Business store your preferred and fallback position for each clause. If your standard is mutual indemnities with a cap at twelve months of fees, every contract is measured against that, whoever uploads it. Business colleagues get consistent answers without asking you each time.
Redlines you can send
Each flagged clause comes with proposed language and a fallback. Export to DOCX with tracked-change style markup and edit in Word as usual. You keep authority over the final wording, and the analyzer spares you the blank page.
Post-signature obligations
The work does not end at signature. Auto-renewals, notice windows, price escalators and payment terms are extracted into fields. Alerts arrive 90, 60, 30 and 7 days ahead of the notice deadline, and the obligation calendar on Team shows what is coming across every agreement.
Roles for the business
Give sales and procurement viewer access so they can read summaries and key terms without emailing you. Editors upload and tag contracts, admins manage the playbook. On Business, an audit log shows who accessed what.
Scope and responsibility
ContractsAnalyzer highlights what to check and is not legal advice. It supports your judgment as counsel rather than replacing it. Small law firms and fractional general counsel can also use separate workspaces per client on Business.
An example from a mixed week
On Tuesday a sales NDA arrives with a perpetual confidentiality term and a venue in another state. The analyzer flags both, suggests a five year term for general information and a trade secret carve-out, and proposes your home state as the venue. On Thursday a vendor renewal shows an auto-renewal with a 90 day notice window that closes in three weeks, and the alert has already reached you.
Neither contract needed a template library or a workflow to be built first. You open the result, check the flagged passages against the source, edit the suggested wording and reply. The rest of the portfolio stays searchable for the next question, such as which vendors have a liability cap below fees paid, or which customer agreements allow assignment without consent.
