“As a firm, we regularly handle very complex transactions. Contract Tools has become an essential part of our transactional practice. Whether we’re drafting new contracts, or proofreading, or simply finding answers to questions from our clients, we use Contract Tools constantly.”

Contract Tools analyzes your document for things that often appear in contracts: provisions, defined terms, cross-references, and more. Analysis takes about two seconds or less for most contracts – and as you type and delete text, Contract Tools updates its analysis instantly.
Contract Tools can analyze just about any kind of contract you open in Word: confidentiality agreements, merger agreements, credit agreements, US contracts, Canadian contracts, UK contracts, and more. If you don’t have a Word document, Contract Tools can analyze PDFs you open in Word or text you paste into Word.

“Contract Tools is extremely helpful and a huge time saver when it comes to drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts. Before I started using Contract Tools, identifying issues in lengthy contracts was difficult or impossible without reading through the entire document. Now, the first thing I do when I get a new contract is turn on Contract Tools. I can see how the document is organized, how terms are defined, and how these terms are used (or misused) throughout the document. It makes spotting and correcting errors so much easier, and the end result is much better work product in much less time.”
David Munn — General Counsel, Pramata
