Contract Lifecycle Management
Pre-signature drafting and negotiation, post-signature abstraction and obligation tracking, and the platform implementation that ties them together. Run as an end-to-end managed service across the contract lifecycle, or augment specific phases (drafting + negotiation, or post-signature abstraction) where the in-house gap is.

CLM, Frequently Asked
Questions Buyers Ask Before Piloting.
Can you implement and run a CLM platform for us?
Yes. Ironclad, Agiloft, ContractPodAi, and SirionLabs implementations plus playbook and clause-library design. Many enterprise clients run the platform implementation as a project and then move to a managed-service ALSP engagement to operate it.
What is your standard turnaround SLA on contract review?
24 hours for first-pass NDA / standard MSA review; 72 hours for first-pass review of bespoke commercial contracts; one week for full-scope drafting of joint-venture or distribution agreements. Faster turnarounds available with prior agreement.
How do you handle clause-library curation?
A clause library is a deliverable on every CLM implementation. We curate it from your historical contracts, identify the most-negotiated clauses, and write the playbook entries that govern fallback positions on each.
Do you handle legacy contract migration?
Yes. Bulk abstraction of legacy paper / PDF contracts into a new CLM, with structured metadata extraction (parties, term, renewal, key-clause flags) and a QC sample audit before migration.
