Contracts that organize themselves. And answer questions themselves.
Every incoming contract automatically triggers the right workflow — from activation through review to deadline monitoring. From the same, structurally managed portfolio, an AI- and RAG-based approach answers questions as self-service at any time, backed by your own compliance playbook.
The starting point
Contracts disappear into the inbox before review even begins.
Routing
Manually forwarding by email costs time and results in contracts being lost or handled twice.
Review depth
Without a fixed checklist, review quality depends on the individual handler — steps get missed.
Deadlines
Termination options and renewal deadlines in legacy contracts only become visible once they expire.
The process in three steps
A workflow that runs itself from activation to reporting.
Instead of a loose patchwork of inbox, checklist and deadline list, every contract runs through the same three-step process — from the moment it arrives to ongoing monitoring of deadlines and versions.
Step 1 of 3
Automatic workflow activation
Every incoming contract immediately triggers the configured workflow: DEPLAW captures it, generates the matching checklist for the relevant contract type, and sets the required deadlines — automatically, in the background. Manual distribution by email, and the lost or duplicate handling that comes with it, is eliminated entirely.
- 0 manual forwards
- Checklists are generated automatically per contract type
- Deadlines are set and monitored automatically
Step 2 of 3
Autonomous review against red lines
Lawyers define the red lines once — permissible and impermissible clauses, thresholds, exclusion criteria. The actual review then runs as autonomously as possible in the background; a multi-LLM approach cross-validates the results to minimize errors. What matters isn't the annotation on any single case, but the outcome: if a contract violates a red line, it's routed to a lawyer. If it doesn't, sales and other business units can use it directly.
- multi-LLM cross-validation against errors
- routed only when a red line is violated
- direct reuse by business units upon approval
Law firms can model the same logic as their own legal product and offer it to their clients — seeSolutions for law firms.
Step 3 of 3
Deadline management & reporting
After approval, the work on the contract isn't over — ongoing monitoring begins: term end dates, termination options and renewal deadlines are tracked automatically in the deadline monitor. All versions, signatures and reports live in one central place instead of scattered across inboxes and local folders.
- automatic versioning on every change
- real-time management reporting
More than review: the contract portfolio as a knowledge source
Questions about the contract portfolio, answered at any time.
Once contracts are managed in a structured way through workflows, the portfolio becomes more than a repository: an AI- and RAG-based approach lets you answer questions about the entire contract portfolio as self-service at any time — without searching through every contract individually.
Workflows for the entire contract lifecycle
Not just review — renewal, termination and escalation can also be modeled as workflows, instead of being set up manually every time.
Questions answered via AI & RAG
"Which contracts expire this quarter?", "Where are there change-of-control clauses?" — the RAG approach searches the entire portfolio and delivers reliable answers with a reference to the source contract.
Your playbook, applied every time
Your own compliance playbook feeds into every answer — the same legal frontdoor as the internal self-service for business units.

Any level of model performance can be connected without leaving the compliance foundation of locally-operated LLMs.
Example · average turnaround time of a contract
From eight days down to 1.4 days — because all three steps interlock.
The same structure applies to every contract type — not just a single case.
Example · course of an incoming contract
A modeled process — from intake to filing.
Key differentiator
What sets the workflow apart from a plain checklist.
The three steps don't run alongside a separate deadline list or spreadsheet — they run in the same platform where the review itself takes place, configurable without coding skills and hosted in Germany.
The lawyer draws the red line. The AI holds it.
