Legal Technology

Technology enables companies to optimise their internal processes. By understanding the balance between people, process and technology, you enable your department to leverage technology such as artificial intelligence. Are you fully harnessing the potential of legal tech? 

Together with you, we can enable your legal function to work more efficiently and more effectively with the use of technical solutions. By having specialists with both legal and technical knowledge, we have an integrated approach and often serve as sparring partners for transformations of the legal function. 

Accelerating Legal Innovation

Innovation starts with a clear view of your processes and challenges. Together with our specialists, we accelerate legal innovation from strategy to execution.

We begin by identifying and mapping your key processes to pinpoint where automation and optimisation create the most value. Based on clearly defined requirements and our indepth knowledge of the legal tech market, we select the technology that best fits your needs and ensures a strong problem–solution match. 

We then support you through the next stages—ranging from pilots and proofofconcepts to full implementation, adoption, and change management—so innovation truly lands in your organisation. 

Digital Due Diligence Review

Increasing M&A activity and short deal timelines could lead to overwhelming resource demands and extensive review periods. We help you leverage the power of artificial intelligence to gain faster and more accurate results from your (legal) document portfolio. When doing due diligence, whether it is for a share deal to get better insights in an asset portfolio or regulatory compliance, it is of the utmost importance to have visibility into contract provisions. There is an increasing demand for faster and better review of the document portfolio, in order to cover all risks at hand and report back to stakeholders. PwC Legal combines in-depth legal expertise with state-of-the-art machine learning technologies, to deliver you high-quality document review in a timely and cost-effective manner.  

Contract management as a service

As your organization's contract portfolio expands, balancing routine administrative duties with your core legal responsibilities might become a challenging. To help you optimize your contract management operations while preserving internal resources for strategic priorities, we offer contract management as a service. Our team acts as an extension of your legal department, working with your existing systems and processes while bringing specialized expertise and dedicated capacity. You retain strategic oversight and decision-making authority, while we handle the operational execution and administrative burden. 

Due to contracts often being scattered across different systems and departments, you may find that valuable commercial opportunities and cost-saving provisions are being overlooked. Beyond managing your contract portfolio, we actively focus on maximizing the business value of your contracts. Our team identifies underutilized contract benefits, flags opportunities for cost savings, and ensures you're fully leveraging favorable terms and conditions across your portfolio. 

Contract Lifecycle Management Implementation

Due to evergrowing contract volumes and increasing regulatory scrutiny, legal departments often struggle to keep track of contractual obligations and key information. When contracts are scattered across multiple systems and locations, you risk missing critical deadlines—and missing opportunities to leverage favourable terms. 

We help you regain control of your contract lifecycle and improve operational efficiency through techagnostic contract lifecycle management (CLM) implementation services. We start by identifying your requirements and ensuring a strong problem–solution fit. From there, we support you through technical implementation and change management, offering practical guidance via clear roadmaps, training sessions, and workshops to ensure successful adoption across your organisation. 

Document Automation

Legal departments might find themselves spending large amounts of time on repetitive document drafting and maintaining templates. The advantages of document automation are numerous. By automating the drafting process, time spent on the task and the risk of human errors are reduced. This leads to a general improvement of quality and to the possibility to delegate work to more junior employees. Thereby allowing the legal function to focus on specialised matters. Solutions can entail a modular approach ranging from the usage of clause libraries, automating templates and the creation of central repositories.
