“The global contract management software market is expected to grow from USD 1,550 million in 2019 to USD 2,917 million by 2024, at a CAGR[1] of 13.5% during the forecast period.” – Research and Markets Report[2]

The AI market growth trajectory makes a strong case for legal departments to force the pace of implementing the adoption of AI solutions if they no longer want to be considered as cost centers.

Since efficiency is the foremost goal of corporate law departments, use of AI to transform contract management and operations is the key. 

Paucity of time to manage clients’ contractual obligations oftentimes leads to lagging sales cycles, unmitigated risks, and many more problems for the business.

The International Association for Contract & Commercial Management has estimated that inefficient contracting causes organizations to lose more than 9.2% of their annual revenue. This probably stems from the fact that 80% of U.S. civil litigation is related to contracts and one-third of corporate profits are spent on these cases. Furthermore, when contracts are mismanaged as a result of poor governance, it can cost a company 5% to 15% of the contract’s overall value.[3]

This begs the question, why are the legal departments often slow to implement the adoption of AI solutions? What are the main challenges that firms face in getting on the AI bandwagon?

Challenges faced by the law departments in using AI solutions

The process of transitioning from an existing contract management system to a new tech-ecosystem can be daunting. The biggest roadblock being the sheer volume of the contracts. To populate results on contract management software these contracts require tracking and labelling of the unstructured text in a host of these contracts so they can be optimally organized, managed, and updated. 

How the Virtual Contract Manager can lend a hand

LegalEase’s Virtual Contract Manager Services can help legal departments and in-house counsel incorporate the latest software to provide a systematic and efficient contract management solution from beginning to end.  

Here’s what each service entails:

Contract Tagging and Review. Tags contracts for specific terms that do not populate through AI. This enables the end customer save time by not having to allocate resources to tag and review contracts.

Contract Labelling. We make it a great client experience by helping label the contracts in the repository as soon as they are ingested.

Clause Library Creation and Management. We draft the variants for different clauses in the contracts. The clause variants are reviewed and validated at regular intervals or whenever required to adapt to the changing business environment and customer requirements.

Contract Protocol. We work with your team to develop a detailed protocol for review of contracts.

Validation of auto populated terms. We perform a quick spot check and validate the terms that are auto populated to confirm there are no issues.

Post onboarding support.  We provide round the clock support to our clients and help clarify any concepts, workflows; set up reminders and review of terms.

Automating these rote processes with the help of our Virtual Contract Manager Services guarantees secure and efficient handling of documents while also ensuring substantial cost savings.
