Explore the 6 key stages of your technology-enabled contract review
We will provide you with a dedicated review team to discuss the impact of Covid-19 on your commercial contracts. Generate an action plan on next steps and how to prepare your contracts.
A&O lawyers and technologists will work together to build a dedicated platform for you that enables instant remote access for all parties and reviews large-scale contracts within a short timeframe.
Technologists and data scientists will apply the latest data extraction techniques to run analysis on your contracts. You will have direct access to the platform to upload your contracts or you can send them to us to upload on your behalf.
