Contract Intelligence is the Future of Law

At Draftwise, we’re changing that. By turning your firm’s deal history into contract intelligence, we’re empowering every lawyer to access that collective expertise instantly — to navigate risk with clarity, negotiate with confidence, and deliver the highest level of strategic guidance that makes them the trusted advisory clients rely on.

From Drafting to Decision-Making

Draftwise began with a clear mission: to help lawyers transition from manual searching and drafting to automated, precedent-driven contract drafting. From the outset, we designed our tool in close partnership with our customers, learning alongside them to eliminate the pain of repetitive work while ensuring their expertise informed every feature. Firms now draft and review contracts faster, grounded in their own history.

As lawyers used the platform, it became clear that Draftwise could do more than streamline drafting. It gave them instant access to patterns, precedent-backed language, and negotiation history, enabling them to focus on applying their expertise rather than searching for it. They could ask questions like:

• What’s market standard for this term across all 500 deals in the industry?
  
  
• How have indemnity terms evolved over the last two years?
  
  
• How do we typically handle liability caps in this industry?

This access transforms how lawyers work. They make better decisions, give stronger client advice, and manage risk with confidence. It is the natural evolution of what Draftwise was always meant to do, equipping firms to leverage their collective contract intelligence for better outcomes across every deal and decision.

So, What is Contract Intelligence?

Contract Intelligence is how firms unlock the full value of their past work. It's the ability to turn every contract your team has ever negotiated into structured, searchable, and actionable knowledge that lawyers can use to make smarter, faster decisions every day.

Right now, there's a gap. Partners want firm-wide insight to guide negotiations and strategic advice. Associates want faster, data-backed answers during live deals. Legal teams at major enterprises want to transform their vast, unstructured contract libraries into organized intelligence—revealing company-specific best practices they can apply instantly to every new deal and risk.

Contract intelligence closes that gap. It makes it possible to answer questions like:

• What's market based on our own deals?
• How have we handled this specific risk or clause before?
• What changed between last year's deals and this year's?
• What obligations are coming due across our portfolio?
• Where does the risk for our growing company lie when reviewing our contractual commitments?
• What trends should we be tracking across our agreements?

These are strategic questions. Due diligence questions. Risk management questions. Client advisory questions. Business survival questions.

Our belief is this: Legal excellence will belong to firms that use data to amplify human judgment, while preserving the trust that defines client relationships.

How We're Delivering on the Vision

Bringing contract intelligence to life means solving for three things: ensuring we have the complete picture of your past work, making that knowledge accessible to everyone who needs it, and presenting insights in ways that drive immediate action.

We're creating new ways to surface and analyze knowledge—such as Deal Table, which enables you to compare key terms across thousands of agreements in seconds. We're building integrations to iManage, NetDocs, SharePoint, and Google Drive, so Draftwise is securely connected to the full scope of your work. We're making those insights available beyond drafting, so that partners and senior leaders can access institutional knowledge when they need it.

Each of these capabilities brings us closer to our goal and our larger promise.

The Future We're Building

We're building a future where every lawyer—whether they're a first-year associate or a senior partner—can access their firm's collective knowledge instantly. Where precedent doesn't just inform language, it informs strategy. Where legal teams work faster and smarter.

Because every past deal has present value, your work shouldn't stay trapped in documents; it should be instantly available to inform every decision, every deal, and every piece of advice you give. It should be the advantage that makes your firm the one everyone wants on their side.

That's contract intelligence. And that's what we're building.
