Definition

The Legal Intelligence Agent is a Claude agent that analyses contracts and legal documents: identifying risks, proposing changes, supporting due diligence and tracking regulation. It works from your clause library and negotiation positions, and its recommendations are reviewed by a lawyer before anything is signed or sent, under LOOP™ governance.

Under the hood

How the agent works

The agent works with in-house lawyers, M&A teams and the departments that send them contracts. It speeds up the reading and research that fill much of their day, and leaves interpretation, strategy and negotiation to the lawyers. It connects to your document repositories and legal tools through the MCP protocol.

01

What it takes in

Contracts to review, due diligence documents (articles of association, key contracts, disputes, intellectual property) and research questions from your lawyers. It relies on your clause library, your negotiation positions and the legal sources you open to it, such as legislation and case law. It never goes beyond the document scope you have given it.

02

What it does

It reads the contract in full, identifies sensitive clauses, compares them with your standards and assesses the risk of each gap. It drafts proposed changes, ready to be carried into the document. For due diligence, it reviews the data room and sorts the points of attention. For research, it gathers the relevant texts and decisions and cites each source.

03

What it hands back

A risk report ranked by severity, an annotated version of the contract with proposed changes, a due diligence summary by theme and sourced research notes. The lawyer can trace every conclusion back to the passage it rests on and decide with full knowledge.

Who decides what

Green zone · the agent acts alone

Reading documents, spotting clauses, document research and a first draft of the annotations. Nothing leaves the legal department at this stage.

Orange zone · a human approves first

Any proposal sent to another party, any due diligence finding and any recommendation to sign. A lawyer approves, and a senior lawyer for critical risks.

Red zone · the agent stops and escalates

An unusual clause with serious consequences, a conflict of interest or a question outside the assigned scope. The agent stops and hands the question to the responsible lawyer.

Three typical situations

01

A SaaS contract before signature

A software vendor sends a long contract. The agent flags the liability, reversibility and data clauses that depart from your positions, and proposes changes to the lawyer.

02

Acquisition due diligence

An acquisition is being prepared. The agent reviews the data room, sorts the risks by theme and drafts the summary the lawyers will complete.

03

Research on GDPR disputes

A lawyer needs to know where the case law stands on a topic. The agent gathers the relevant decisions, summarises them and cites each source so the lawyer can check it.
