Stop flying blind: how AI gives in-house legal teams the contract visibility they’ve always needed

According to Gartner, 90 percent of legal teams are concerned that their operations slow down the wider organization – a challenge made more acute by growing pressure to do more with limited resources. As demands increase, improving efficiency becomes essential to maintaining pace, particularly in contract work, where fast and accurate processing is critical to achieving business outcomes.

At LawVu, our mission is to accelerate the work of in-house legal teams. That’s why we’ve made further improvements to LawVu’s AI contract data extraction, built specifically to help in-house legal teams move faster, without sacrificing accuracy or control.

A contract repository you can rely on

Great contract management starts with clean, complete, and searchable data. But building that foundation manually is a grind, and it’s one of the first things that slips when the team gets busy.

LawVu’s AI contract extraction, embedded directly into LawVu Contracts, changes that. When you upload a contract, AI automatically pulls out the key data (dates, parties, terms, and clauses) and populates your repository fields without any manual input. You choose what gets extracted based on the contract type, so the system is always capturing what truly matters to your team.

For teams managing large volumes, batch uploads let you process up to 100 contracts at once. AI suggests contract types, auto-fills metadata, and surfaces everything in a clean review interface for quick validation, turning a process that used to take hours into a matter of minutes.

Faster review, without cutting corners

LawVu’s enhanced AI contract data extraction does the heavy lifting for you. By analyzing contracts and extracting key provisions, it allows you to identify and manage risks, negotiate terms, and progress review cycles faster than ever. This is particularly useful when you’re dealing with third-party contracts or lengthy documents, as it speeds up contract turnaround times, increase the ROI of our LawVu CLM, and frees up more time to focus on higher value work – all of which helps to accelerate commercial gains and improve wider business outcomes.

Save valuable time and find the information you need, fast

When you are dealing with lengthy contracts, sifting through pages to find the information you need can be unwieldy and time consuming. However, with AI contract data extraction, you can jump straight to the AI-extracted clauses highlighted in the document and find pertinent information quickly and easily.

Configured for the way you work

No two contracts are alike, and your data extraction needs will vary. LawVu’s AI is fully configurable. Choose up to 30 data points based on contract types, so extraction stays relevant whether you’re working on an NDA, a supplier agreement, or a complex commercial contract.

Version updates, handled automatically

Keeping your repository current as contracts evolve is another area where time quietly disappears. When you upload a new contract version, LawVu’s AI detects changes to clauses and metadata and surfaces them for your review. A single click applies the update to the relevant field, so you stay in control while still cutting out the manual legwork.

“If I didn’t have AI, there would be a ton of data points that I would not be collecting… Other departments struggled to get that data in the past and now we can have it in a simple report, update it easily, and they can all have the data they need at their fingertips.” Bob McClintock, Associate General Counsel, CTDI

Safe, reliable AI you can trust

At LawVu, we understand that the data we store and process for our customers can be highly sensitive and requires the most stringent information security and privacy protection. Our AI services are hosted within our existing Microsoft Azure ecosystem, which is IS O27001, SOC1, SOC2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant. Customer data is segregated and not used to train public models.

AI across the full contract lifecycle

Data extraction is just one piece of the puzzle. AI can support in-house legal teams at every stage of contract lifecycle management, from automated review that flags deviations from approved playbooks, to advanced analysis that helps legal leaders identify trends across large contract portfolios and make more informed strategic decisions.

The common thread: less time on manual work, more time on the things only you can do.
