Robert Ambrogi BlogElevator Pitch: LegalOn Technologies is an AI-powered contract review platform that identifies and prioritizes third-party contract risks in seconds so legal teams can negotiate with focus and precision. Lawyers love us because we automate what’s tedious and put all the practical insights and precedent clauses you need in one place to make review easy. General counsels and legal ops teams use LegalOn to accelerate contracting and maintain compliance, improving margins and increasing revenue for their business.
What makes you unique or innovative? At LegalOn, we put legal in the driver’s seat. While other platforms act as a black box and automate redlines, we prioritize risks and give legal teams the practical insights they need to decide what to negotiate. Legal teams can easily tune the alerts to their own preferences and playbook. This approach has made LegalOn in Japan the largest contract review platform in the world. And we’re just getting started in the United States – innovating new tools for U.S. lawyers as we ready for launch.
What problem do you solve? Legal teams do not want to be stuck reviewing routine contracts line-by-line and business teams do not want deals to be stuck in legal. Fully manual review of high-volume, low-value contracts drains legal’s time and energy, cuts into margins, and slows or kills deals. Yet, overlooking pivotal, hard to spot contract risks creates exposure for the business. Lawyers and business teams need a faster, more efficient way to do contract review.
Your competitors? Contract review AI is a new and emerging ecosystem with a broad range of use cases. We believe this is a massive market and view our main competition as the status quo – many lawyers are not aware of how AI can help them with contract review. There are several early-stage startups developing software products or tech-enabled services in the contract review space. There may be some CLM companies developing products in this space too, although it can be said generally that CLM companies automate workflows, not the substantive work of pre-signature contract review.
