Advancing contract management with AI

Unveiling the future of contract lifecycle management with AI


In the ever-evolving legal space, AI is no longer a wave of the future—it's already here. This game-changing technology was the centrepiece of our recent masterclass with Lexology, ‘Unveiling the future of contract lifecycle management with AI – a Wolters Kluwer showcase.'

With their combined years of experience in the legal technology field, Hugo Seymour, Head of AI at Wolters Kluwer Legal Software, and Margo Trebicka, Sales, AI & CLM Director at Wolters Kluwer Legal Software, took the audience on a journey that explored the potential of AI in contract management, unfurling the myriad of benefits, diverse functionalities, and exciting possibilities that lie ahead.

  • AI-enabled contract management tools can revolutionise contract management by automating routine tasks, minimising human error, and enhancing compliance processes.
  • AI technology allows for the seamless integration of contract management tools with existing legal tech systems, leading to smoother cross-platform synchronisation of contract-related data.
  • The adoption of AI in legal tech is not merely an option but a necessity for in-house counsel.

 

How is AI changing contract management?

Contract management can be a labyrinthine task for in-house lawyers, with the relentless tide of copious documents each carrying its unique stipulations and deadlines.

The daunting complexity of this process means that it's often prone to human error, potentially leading to lost contracts, missed commitments, or even lapses in regulatory compliance.

This masterclass underscored the transformative role AI can play in this arena, navigating the complexities with surgical precision.

"With the use of AI, lawyers gained ability to highlight what can be discussed, negotiated and operate immediately upon evaluation of the document without spending too much time on first of all finding it and reading through it."
