Overview

Over the last decade, contract management has undergone many changes. However, considering today’s technology options, price points, and the bandwidth of the available workforce, the legal department’s starting point should not be surrounded by manual methods.

How legal teams perform basic processes such as contract authoring, and risk review has to change. The good news is that starting with even a basic amount of automation, such as SharePoint/Google Drive is the norm for many companies now that technology has embraced the legal department.

As the wave of digitization crashes upon the shores of the legal world more fully, the practical applications of Artificial Intelligence in contract management present a strategic opportunity for the legal function.
