Case: AI Analysis of Contracts for Corporations

Intelligent data processing for decision-making

I am a developer. In this case study, I present a corporate contract analysis system: text extraction, risk assessment, integrations, and security requirements.

Quick immersion into context

  • Conversations with responsible parties (client, lawyers, information security): objectives (speed/quality), KPIs (analysis time, accuracy), terminology.
  • Domain description: types of contracts, rules and exceptions, reporting requirements; we record assumptions and risks.
  • Integrations: document sources, access and storage requirements, system owners. \n## Practical case: legal department of an international company
  • Initial data: a stream of contracts in multiple languages, varying quality of scans.
  • Implementation: text extraction, risk analysis, reporting, and integration into the existing document workflow.
  • Operation: inspection log, quality metrics, industry-specific rule configuration.

Architectural decisions and trade-offs

  • Vector embeddings/FAISS vs BM25/SimHash/MinHash for deduplication
  • VAD/streaming, diarization, punctuation restoration (for audio)
  • Alerts with noise suppression, severity levels, time‑to‑signal
  • Caching, queues, and retries for stable processing

Hidden pitfalls and anti-patterns

  • False duplicates/clustering; cosine threshold selection
  • Domain terminology drift, domain adaptation of models
  • Anti-bot/429/5xx; degradation to offline mode with cache.

Quality, metrics, and operations

  • SLI/SLO: p95 latency, error budget, uptime; SLO alerts
  • Test Strategy: unit/contract/E2E, load testing, canary releases
  • Observability: structured logs, tracing, metrics
  • CI/CD, migrations, rollbacks, health checks, and readiness probes

Security and Data

  • PII/secrets: encryption at rest/in transit, key rotation
  • Roles and access, log masking, action auditing
  • Storage policies, TTL, regional requirements

In the era of digitalization, the legal departments of large companies process hundreds of contracts daily. Corporate system for automatic contract analysis with artificial intelligence. — it's not just a tool, but a strategic solution for scaling legal processes.

📊 The Scale of the Problem: Why is Automation Needed?

Financial burden on legal departments:

  • Lawyers' salaries: 1,500–3,000 USDT/month for an experienced specialist
  • Time for analysis: 2-4 hours for a complex contract
  • Human factor errors: up to 15% of critical omissions
  • Scaling: the inability to quickly increase staff when workload grows

Corporate challenges:

  • 🏢 Large volumes: 500-2000 contracts per month in large companies
  • Decision-making speed: urgent legal review required
  • 📈 Business growth: The increase in document flow is outpacing the growth in staff numbers.
  • 🌐 Multijurisdictionality: analysis by different legal systems

🎯 Real Case: International Law Firm

Client: A law firm with 500+ employees in 12 countries
Problem: Processing 800+ contracts monthly with annual salary costs exceeding 15 million rubles.
