Bringing contract evidence into negotiation decisions
For product leaders building AI research tools, the quality of an answer depends on the evidence behind it. Telos helped connect contract review with relevant precedents and Law Insider's contract data, giving lawyers more context for negotiation and drafting.
The challenge
Make comparisons relevant to the agreement in front of the lawyer.
A clause can be common in one kind of agreement and unusual in another. A useful comparison needs to account for the contract context and show the material behind the analysis.
The product needed to connect a selected clause or document with relevant examples, make those comparisons understandable, and help users turn the findings into review or drafting decisions.
The work
Bring benchmarking into the review experience.
Early Law Insider benchmarking work connected document review with contract language from its research platform. The product later expanded its review of precedent documents and its market-intelligence capabilities.
Retrieve relevant language before generating analysis.
The market-analysis implementation searches for comparable clauses and passes the resulting reference set into structured analysis. Filters help shape the comparison. Where no comparable clauses are available, the implementation treats that absence explicitly.
Support the next step in a negotiation.
The wider feature set includes clause comparisons, prevalence information, missing-clause detection, and drafting assistance. Review results can arrive progressively as processing completes.
Law Insider supplies the underlying research data used by these comparisons. Telos's contribution centers on the product experience, integration, and AI engineering that bring the evidence into the review workflow.
What the product supports
- Benchmarking against relevant contract language.
- Review using precedent documents.
- Clause-level market analysis with a retrieved reference set.
- Contextual filters and missing-clause detection.
- Drafting assistance connected to the review findings.
The result
A closer connection between legal research and contract review.
The product gives lawyers a way to investigate how language compares with relevant agreements while they work through a contract. The comparison informs judgment; the lawyer decides whether that language fits the transaction and the party's needs.
