LegalOn, the AI contract review pioneer, has announced an expansion into matter management, ‘bringing together AI, trusted legal content, and an organisation’s own knowledge’, while covering areas such as intake and collaboration. In short, they are now providing a lot of the things broader CLM companies do, but with review still at their core.
LegalOn grew out of applying AI – first NLP/ML and now genAI – to contract review, so moving into matter management is a big step for them in terms of widening their offering. It now works with over 7,000 organisations.
As Daniel Lewis, CEO, told Artificial Lawyer: ‘Our belief is that legal teams everywhere are buried in tedious work that slows them and their businesses down. And our goal is to build legal AI that frees lawyers to think, decide, and lead. With LegalOn’s expansion into matter management, we can continue to accelerate contract review and help legal teams handle requests for all issues, not just contracts.
‘We see an enormous and unfilled opportunity for AI to eliminate the tedious work in matter management. We’re excited about the positive feedback we’ve received so far from customers with early access, and believe this will benefit legal teams of all sizes.’
All well and good, so what do the new capabilities provide?
‘LegalOn’s new Matter Management offering organizes and tracks legal work, speeding up the work of legal teams and improving collaboration with business stakeholders, including sales, marketing, HR and finance.
Simplify and structure the intake of legal requests for all issues, not just contracts, gathering needed information and ensuring no request is overlooked.
Assign owners, track deadlines and collaborate across teams, keeping stakeholders informed and reducing communication friction.
Save time with AI that offers suggestions based on past requests and other relevant materials.
Enhance compliance, accountability and reporting with an audit trail of comments, reviews, approvals, documents and more.’
In short, they’re expanding LegalOn to cover all the bits in a workflow before and after the actual review takes place, e.g. intake, deadline management, and tapping into past requests. One could see this also as a move into the broader CLM approach, where one platform seeks to handle a very wide range of tasks.
LegalOn has also unveiled a new interface and some platform-wide updates, including enhancements to its flagship AI Contract Review, which flags risks and suggests revisions based on attorney-built playbooks and each organization’s unique legal standards. These updates include:
‘Review Redlines to First-Party Paper: AI reviews counterparty redlines to first-party contracts, like sales contracts and NDAs, to assess if they meet a team’s playbook for acceptable fallback positions, not just preferred language.
Translation Across 28 Languages: Contracts written in 28 languages are automatically translated into English for review, then translated back into the original language when edits are complete.
AI Knowledge Management: Woven throughout LegalOn, Knowledge Core transforms a company’s contracts, matters and templates into a source of intelligence that constantly learns to help users search, compare and apply past knowledge to contracts, drafting, matters and more.
Expanded AI Assistant: From intake to contract review to matter resolution, LegalOn Assistant provides help in more ways and with more tasks. Users can now ask questions about an individual contract or across their entire repository, summarize contract terms and redlines, draft clauses, find precedents, translate contracts and more.’
So, there you go. And all at a time when inhouse teams have never been so eager to embrace what legal AI can do.
