The Reality Every Commercial Lawyer Knows Too Well

You're handed a 127-page share purchase agreement at 2 PM on Thursday. The client needs your full analysis by 9 AM Friday for a board meeting that can't be moved. The document is loaded with non-standard clauses, conflicting warranties, and terms that could expose your client to millions in liability.

Sound familiar?

Whilst other professionals have teams and standardised processes, you're expected to catch every risk, spot every opportunity, and deliver comprehensive analysis that protects your client's commercial interests. All whilst juggling three other urgent matters and trying to maintain some semblance of work-life balance.

The brutal truth? 

Most commercial lawyers are spending 70% of their time on document review and analysis that could be done better, faster, and more thoroughly by intelligent technology.

The Uncomfortable Truth About Manual Document Review in 2025

Here's what's really happening: You're using the same manual document review process that commercial lawyers used 30 years ago. Line-by-line analysis. Mental checklists. Hoping your tired brain doesn't miss that one critical clause buried between boilerplate provisions.

Meanwhile, your clients are running businesses transformed by technology. When their accountants process complex financial data in hours, when their consultants deliver comprehensive analysis in days not weeks, they start questioning why legal work still takes so long.

The bigger problem? You can't afford to miss a single risk, overlook a crucial clause, or deliver anything less than exceptional analysis. Your reputation—and your client relationships—depend on being across every detail, every time.
