New Zealand’s LawVu, an AI-powered legal workspace, and Belgium’s ClauseBase, an AI-driven contracting system, have partnered together to help inhouse legal teams. The move follows ClauseBase’s launch in North America and the hire of ex-Deloitte Legal expert, Jan Roggen.
The partnership centres on an integration that allows legal teams ‘to access their entire knowledge base in LawVu directly in Word, within ClauseBaseʼs AI-powered contract drafting and review solution, ClauseBuddy’. (And you can see a demo of ClauseBuddy here also.)
‘From there, they can quickly search for clauses [that lawyers] used in the past, automate templates to speed up document creation, and standardise fallback clauses in negotiation’, they added.
I.e. let’s add together KM and workflow expertise with AI contract knowhow to provide a better overall experience for customers.
Maarten Truyens, CEO and Co-Founder of ClauseBase, commented: ‘Legal teams everywhere struggle to unlock and share the drafting and reviewing knowledge embedded in their legal workspace and the heads of individual lawyers.
‘By partnering with Lawvu, weʼre making it easier for teams to surface that knowledge – for example by finding clauses, reviewing based on standard templates, comparing against precedents – and then immediately apply it from within Microsoft Word.’
And Sam Kidd, CEO and Founder of LawVu, added: ‘ClauseBase expands the contract drafting and review capabilities of the LawVu ecosystem, reflecting growing customer demand. Weʼre seeing unprecedented momentum as in-house legal teams embrace AI to transform how they draft, review, and negotiate contracts.
‘ClauseBase is a natural fit for our ecosystem, itʼs a product our customers already love, and now weʼre making it faster and easier for new teams to harness its power inside the LawVu workspace. This partnership is another milestone in our mission to give legal teams the most trusted, innovative tools in one connected platform, so they can move faster, stay in control, and deliver more impact to their business.’
The integration is globally available and is already in use by mutual customers, with additional integration workflows to be released in the near future, they added.
Is this a big deal? Well, there’s a few aspects here. First is the way that companies on different sides of the planet are working so closely together. Another point is that we are seeing more and more partnerships between legal tech companies – and that points to growing client demand for broader, connected solutions, but not necessarily a desire for the legal tech companies to merge together. For example, see the recent inhouse-focused deal between Juro and Wordsmith.
