Your Contracts Are a Goldmine: How In-House Legal Teams Can Turn Unused Contract Data into an Untapped Resource
Event Description
Most legal teams negotiate contracts using templates and clause libraries built long ago, then store executed contracts away, rarely revisiting the valuable insights they hold. But what if you could unlock the full potential of your contracts, harnessing their hidden data to continuously enrich negotiations and automatically update your templates and clause libraries? With the right tool, contracts can become living, strategic assets that inform smarter, faster decision-making across your organization.
