How Contract Analyzer works, what it includes, and what controls the result.
How it works
Add the contract
Paste the text or upload a PDF or text file. Scanned PDFs are read too: a scan costs one extra AI action for every ten pages, up to 40 pages, and you see the cost and confirm before anything runs.
Choose what you need
Summarize it, extract the key terms, flag the risk clauses or simplify the language. Run another action on the same contract whenever you like.
Tell it which side you are on
A clause that is a risk for one party is a benefit for the other. For a risk review it reads the contract's defined parties and asks which one you represent, so the flags are the ones that matter to you.
Read it and keep it
Each finding says what the clause does, why it matters and what to ask for. Copy it or save it as a PDF. Past analyses stay in a firm-wide list.
Two ways to use it
By hand
Open the Contract Analyzer, add a contract and pick an action. The right choice when you want a specific question answered, or any of the four actions on the same document.
- All four actions, as many times as you need
- The "which side are you on" question for risk reviews
- Court opinions and briefs are spotted and pointed to Case Brief Analysis, which is part of Enterprise
By email, without logging in
Each attorney has a private forwarding address. Forward a contract to it, as a PDF or Word attachment, and a risk review arrives in your inbox a few minutes later.
- It runs the risk review on the first attachment it finds. Scans are read too
- The review is emailed to you and saved in Recent analyses. Nothing is acted on or sent anywhere else
- Because there is no screen to ask on, it gives a general risk review. For one written for your side, use it by hand
What it includes, in full
What each action returns, and how long. Every result in the demos above is a shortened sample so it fits the screen.
Summarize
A bulleted summary of the most important information in the document, so you know what you are holding before you read it.
Length: about 200 to 450 words, whatever the size of the contract.
Extract Key Terms
Every key fact listed together, ready to check against the original.
Covers: facts, figures, dates, names, amounts, deadlines and action items.
Length: as long as the list of facts needs, with no fixed word count.
Flag Risk Clauses
A short risk summary, then each risky clause with why it is a risk and what to negotiate. It also looks for what the contract leaves out.
Covers: a risk summary of the three to five biggest areas, then each risky clause quoted by its key words, with two to four sentences on why it is risky and what to ask for.
Length: scaled to the contract so a short NDA does not get a long review: about 700 to 1,200 words for a contract of up to about 3 pages, 1,000 to 1,800 for up to about 8 pages, and 1,500 to 2,500 for longer ones.
Simplify Language
A clearer, more professional and better-structured version of the document with every meaning kept, useful when you need to explain a clause to a client.
Length: about the same as the text you give it, since the whole document is rewritten.
Side-aware review
Choose your party, or a neutral review, and the same clauses are weighed for you, not for the other side.
PDF in, PDF out
Upload typed or scanned PDFs, and save any result as a PDF for the file.
How the result is controlled
Findings you can check
Each finding quotes the key words of the clause, so you can find it in the original in seconds and judge for yourself.
Written for your side
The review asks which party you represent before it weighs a clause, instead of guessing.
Looks for what is missing
A clause that is not there can matter more than one that is, so the review checks for omissions too.
Read exactly what you send
It reads the text of the document you give it. For scans, a separate step transcribes the pages first and you approve the page count.
Sized to the document
Reviews are kept to the length the contract deserves, so the findings are not buried.
A starting point, labelled as one
Every result carries a reminder that it needs attorney review. It can miss things and cannot judge enforceability in your state.
What the Contract Analyzer does not do
- It does not decide whether a clause is enforceable under your state's law
- It does not know facts that are not in the document, such as the deal's history
- It does not negotiate, sign or send anything
- It does not replace reading the contract
How your state’s law is used
A clause means different things in different states, so the Analyzer works with your state in front of it.
Your state first
The review applies your state's law first, and says when federal law or another state's law governs.
Rule files for common topics
For the states in the reference file, when a contract touches a topic that has a rule on file, such as non-competes, NDAs, fee agreements or leases, the review has your state's rule in front of it and can point out where the contract departs from it.
Kept up to date
The reference file is checked every month for new laws and court decisions, and fully re-verified every June and December.
The Analyzer does not decide whether a clause is enforceable. The reference file is an aid researched from official sources, not an attorney's review, so confirm current law before you advise on a clause.
Setting it up, and how firms use it
The Analyzer reads the contract, and it also reads who you are. Your firm profile and your preferences travel with every review.
Firm setup
On every plan: your state, practice areas and who you represent. The review is written with your state in mind and from the side you choose.
AI Configuration
On Professional and Enterprise, administrators add the firm's preferred clause language, such as standard indemnification wording, liability caps and governing law, so the review can compare a contract to how your firm normally writes.
A private forwarding address for each attorney
On Professional and Enterprise, every attorney and staff member gets their own address. A contract forwarded to it is reviewed and the result comes back to that attorney, not to the whole firm.
How firms use the Analyzer
Before a client signs
Flag the risk clauses in a vendor, licensing or services agreement from the client's side.
Employment agreements
Check a non-compete, severance or confidentiality clause before it is accepted.
Leases
Pull the key dates, rent, renewal and termination terms into one list.
Settlement releases
Read an insurer's or counterparty's release for what the client would be giving up.
Explaining to a client
Simplify a dense clause so a client can see what it says.
A contract that arrives by email
Forward it to your private address and a risk review comes back without opening the tool.
