What It Takes to Actually Speed Up Review and Negotiation
Contracts remain one of the most persistent pressure points for in-house legal teams. Intake comes from different places, review standards are not always easy to apply consistently, negotiation history is often hard to reuse, and business stakeholders want faster answers without sacrificing legal judgment. AI can help, but only when it is applied to the actual contracting workflow: triaging work by risk and complexity, supporting first-pass review, surfacing issues for lawyer judgment, and helping teams learn from what they have already negotiated.
This session is designed for in-house counsel and legal operations leaders who are evaluating where AI can create practical leverage in contract review and negotiation today. Facilitated by Harvey’s Legal Innovation Partners, the discussion will focus on what changes when AI is used as part of the contracting process — not as a replacement for legal judgment, and not as a product showcase, but as a way to rethink how legal teams capture standards, route work, review routine agreements, and identify the issues that need human attention.
What we'll cover:
- Where AI is making a practical difference in contract review and negotiation today, and where human review, escalation, and judgment remain essential.
- How in-house teams can think about first-pass review, playbooks, fallback positions, and risk thresholds in a more scalable way.
- What it takes to move from static templates and institutional knowledge to contracting standards that reflect what the business is actually negotiating.
- A focused walkthrough of AI-supported contract review workflows, including how first-pass review, redline suggestions, risk surfacing, and portfolio-level insights can fit into an in-house team’s process.
