Everything a Transactional Practice Needs
Purpose-built for playbook-driven review at mid-market law firms. No generic AI suggestions — every redline traces back to your firm’s negotiation positions.
Playbook-Driven Redline Generation
Redline contracts against your firm’s negotiation playbook in under 12 minutes
Clausearc maps each contract clause to the corresponding playbook provision, generates tracked-changes redlines in Word format, and flags clauses where the counterparty position deviates from acceptable ranges. Associates start from a structured redline, not a blank read-through.
Clause Risk Scoring
Score every clause by deviation from standard positions before the attorney opens the file
Each clause receives a tiered risk score — routine, flag, or escalate — based on deviation from the firm’s playbook positions. Attorneys allocate review time to escalate-tier provisions and confirm routine ones quickly, compressing overall review cycles without sacrificing coverage.
Contract Type Recognition
Auto-classify contract type and apply the correct playbook automatically
Clausearc identifies whether an uploaded document is an NDA, MSA, SOW, vendor agreement, or other supported type and loads the corresponding firm playbook without any manual selection. Multi-type documents are handled by section-level classification.
iManage and NetDocuments Integration
Pull contracts from and push redlines back to your document management system
Native integration with iManage Work 10 and NetDocuments NDOffice lets associates initiate review from inside the DMS and receive the completed redline back in the same matter workspace. No separate login, no manual filing of output documents.
Annotation and Reasoning Layer
Each suggested redline includes the playbook provision it is drawn from and the risk rationale
Every tracked change in the output document links to the specific playbook provision that triggered it and a plain-language explanation of the risk. Associates understand why each redline was suggested before deciding to accept, modify, or override it.
Practice Group Analytics
Track review cycle time, clause exception rates, and playbook deviation trends across matters
Practice group leaders see aggregate data on review cycle times, how often counterparty contracts trigger playbook exceptions, and which provisions are most frequently overridden by attorneys. Supports playbook calibration and partner reporting on associate efficiency.
