Contract risk is often invisible until it's too late. Unlike obvious red flags such as missing signatures or blank fields, true contract risk lurks within seemingly standard clauses, subtle language choices, and the interaction between multiple provisions. Most business professionals lack the training to identify contract risk systematically.
The pressure to close deals quickly compounds the problem. Teams scan contracts for basic terms like price and delivery dates while overlooking liability clauses, termination provisions, and indemnification terms that can cost 10-100x the contract value if triggered. Traditional legal review addresses this but often comes too late in the process and costs more than many deals are worth.
AI contract review democratizes risk identification by applying professional-grade analysis to every agreement. Whether you're a business owner, procurement professional, or startup founder, you can now spot critical risks before signing. Start identifying contract risks with AI and protect your business interests proactively.
For quick contract evaluation, focus on these high-impact areas: (1) liability caps and indemnification, (2) termination and auto-renewal clauses, (3) IP ownership and confidentiality scope, (4) payment terms and penalties, (5) governing law and dispute resolution. These five areas contain 80% of contract risks.
"I've been reviewing contracts for 15 years but still learned something new from AI analysis. It identified a subtle indemnification clause that could have exposed us to unlimited third-party claims – something I completely missed in my manual review. The AI found risks in language I thought was standard boilerplate."
— Michael Torres, Director of Business Development
AI scans contract and flags all risk categories with severity ratings and specific clause locations.
Generate comprehensive reports with risk summaries, recommended changes, and negotiation talking points.
Share findings with legal counsel, team members, or counterparties to drive informed negotiations.
Unlimited liability exposure disguised within indemnification clauses. Many contracts appear to have liability caps but contain indemnification terms that bypass those limits entirely.
Focus on financial impact, operational restrictions, and exit terms. Use our checklist to systematically review key risk areas, and leverage AI analysis to catch subtle risks you might miss.
No. Prioritize based on severity, likelihood, and negotiation capital. Focus on deal-breaker risks first, then address lower-priority issues if negotiations allow.
AI compares terms against industry standards and flags unusual provisions. However, consult legal counsel or industry peers for context on high-stakes or unfamiliar contract types.
Risk identification significantly reduces problems but can't prevent all issues. It helps you make informed decisions about acceptable vs. unacceptable risks for your business situation.
Review contracts annually or when circumstances change significantly (new regulations, business model changes, risk tolerance shifts). Use AI for efficient bulk analysis of your contract portfolio.
Now that you know what to look for, let our AI platform automatically identify and analyze these risks for you.
