Contract Review Automation

The Challenge

Meridian Law Partners, a growing mid-size law firm with 50 attorneys across three offices, faced mounting pressure on their contract review processes. Their corporate practice group was handling an increasing volume of M&A due diligence, vendor agreements, and employment contracts.

Key Pain Points:

Time-intensive reviews: Each contract required 4-6 hours of attorney time for initial review, creating bottlenecks during busy periods.
Inconsistent analysis: Different attorneys applied varying standards, leading to quality inconsistencies across the firm.
Rising costs: Client complaints about billing for "routine" contract reviews were increasing, threatening key relationships.
Scaling challenges: The firm couldn't take on more clients without significantly expanding headcount.

The Solution

UNIKABIZ designed and implemented a comprehensive Contract Review Super Agent system tailored to Meridian's specific needs and practice areas.

Solution Components:

1. Contract Analysis Super Agent

Custom-trained AI agent that identifies key terms, obligations, risks, and non-standard clauses across 15+ contract types including NDAs, MSAs, employment agreements, and vendor contracts.

2. Risk Flagging System

Automated identification of high-risk clauses, missing protections, and deviations from firm standards with severity scoring and recommended actions.

3. Standardized Report Generation

Consistent, professional review summaries that highlight key findings, comparisons to firm templates, and negotiation recommendations.

4. Integration with Document Management

Seamless integration with the firm's existing document management and matter tracking systems for workflow continuity.
