Legal Tech - Automating Contract Analysis and Clause Extraction

by DocsRouter Team

Legal Contract Analysis

The "Billable Hour" is the currency of the legal world. But clients are increasingly pushing back against paying $800/hour for junior associates to review standard NDAs.

DocsRouter allows firms to build "AI Associates" that can handle the first pass of document review instantly.

The Semantic Search Problem

Keyword search (Ctrl+F) is dangerous in law. Searching for "Termination" might miss a clause titled "End of Agreement."

Vision LLMs like Claude 4.5 Opus perform Semantic Analysis. They read the meaning of the clause, not just the title.

Example: Finding "Change of Control"

You can ask DocsRouter to extract specific legal concepts:

{
  "task": "extract_clauses",
  "concepts": [
    "change_of_control",
    "indemnification",
    "governing_law"
  ]
}

Claude 4.5 will scan the 50-page PDF and return:

Change of Control found on Page 12, Paragraph 4: "In the event that the Company is acquired..."

Integrating with CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management)

DocsRouter isn't a replacement for your CLM (like Ironclad or Docusign); it's an accelerator. By wrapping DocsRouter in a simple script, you can automatically tag and organize every contract that enters your system.

Move your lawyers to high-value strategy, and let the AI handle the paperwork.
