Automated Contract Review with AI: Identify Risks Faster

Manual contract review is one of the biggest time drains in legal departments and fiduciary firms. An average contract requires 45-90 minutes of review time. With AI-powered analysis, this drops to under 10 minutes - with equal or even better quality.

What can AI do in contract review?

• Clause recognition: The AI identifies critical clauses - liability exclusions, termination periods, confidentiality agreements, jurisdiction clauses - and marks them for human review.
• Risk scoring: Each contract receives a risk assessment based on unusual or missing clauses. High-risk contracts are prioritized.
• Comparison with standards: The AI compares incoming contracts with your standard templates and highlights deviations.
• Core data extraction: Contract parties, duration, termination period, total value - all key data is automatically extracted and structured.

Case study: Fiduciary firm

A fiduciary firm with 12 employees reviewed around 50 contracts monthly for their clients. Average review time: 60 minutes per contract. With an AI agent for pre-review, manual review time dropped to 15 minutes - because the lawyer only needs to check the sections flagged by the AI.

Result: 37.5 hours per month saved, with an error rate that actually decreased (the AI doesn't miss clauses from fatigue).

Zero-data-retention: Why it matters for lawyers

Law firms and fiduciaries have strict confidentiality obligations. Public AI tools like ChatGPT potentially use inputs for training. Our solution: zero-data-retention - no contract is stored or used for model training. Processing happens on Swiss Hosted infrastructure with immediate deletion after analysis.

Integration into your workflow

The AI agent integrates into your existing workflow - either as an interface to your document management system or as a standalone tool with email integration. Contracts can be analyzed via drag-and-drop or automatically from the inbox.

Costs and timeline

• Setup: 2-4 weeks, from CHF 15,000
• Running costs: CHF 200-400/month
• ROI: With 50 contracts/month and 45 min. savings per contract = 37.5 hrs/month = approx. CHF 5,600/month
