Introducing ContractIQ: AI-Powered Contract Review for Law Firms

The Contract Review Problem

Every law firm reviews contracts. It's fundamental to legal practice. But the traditional process - reading through page after page, manually flagging risks, comparing clauses across multiple agreements - is painfully slow, error-prone, and expensive.

Consider the math: A typical commercial contract review takes 1-3 hours per document. A mid-size firm reviewing 50 contracts per month spends 75-150 attorney hours on review alone. At $350/hour, that's $26,000-$52,000 monthly on a task that AI can dramatically accelerate.

What Is ContractIQ?

ContractIQ is an AI-powered contract review platform designed specifically for law firms. It doesn't just read contracts - it understands them. Using advanced natural language processing, ContractIQ analyzes clauses, identifies risks, scores contract health, and enables side-by-side comparison across multiple agreements.

ContractIQ AI-powered contract analysis

Think of it as a senior associate that never sleeps, never misses a clause, and can review 100 contracts in the time it takes a human to review one.

Key Features

Intelligent Clause Analysis

ContractIQ doesn't just find keywords - it understands context. For each clause, the AI:

  • Identifies the clause type (liability, indemnification, termination, etc.)
  • Assesses risk level (low, medium, high, critical)
  • Flags non-standard language that deviates from your firm's preferred terms
  • Suggests improvements based on best practices and your firm's precedents

Contract Health Scoring

Every contract receives an overall health score based on:

  • Risk distribution across all clauses
  • Compliance with industry standards
  • Completeness of key provisions
  • Favorability of terms

This gives attorneys an instant snapshot of contract quality before diving into details.

Multi-Contract Comparison

Need to compare terms across multiple agreements? ContractIQ's comparison view lets you:

  • See clause-by-clause differences between contracts
  • Identify inconsistencies across your portfolio
  • Standardize terms across multiple clients or matters
  • Track changes between contract versions

Firm-Specific Configuration

ContractIQ adapts to your practice:

  • Configure risk thresholds for your firm's tolerance
  • Set practice-area-specific review criteria
  • Define preferred clause language and benchmarks
  • Customize reporting for different stakeholders

How It Works

The process is straightforward:

Step 1: Upload - Drag and drop your contract (PDF, DOCX, or plain text). ContractIQ processes the document in seconds.

Step 2: Review - The AI breaks down every clause, highlighting risks and opportunities. Attorneys focus their attention where it matters most.

Step 3: Compare - If reviewing multiple agreements, use the comparison view to identify differences and standardize terms.

Step 4: Report - Generate a comprehensive review summary for clients or internal stakeholders.

The ROI Case

The math is compelling:

  • 80% faster contract review compared to manual process
  • 95% clause identification accuracy - catches provisions humans miss
  • 60% reduction in review costs for standard agreements
  • Zero missed deadlines from automated tracking and alerts

For a firm reviewing 50 contracts monthly, ContractIQ can recover 60-120 attorney hours per month - translating to $21,000-$42,000 in recovered capacity.
