Contract Extraction
Legal Outsourcing 2.0 approaches the task differently. This is the process we use:
- We spend significant time breaking down in detail what information you want captured and how you want the information returned to you;
- You send us the contracts or data by FTP or by uploading them into our cloud solution directly;
- The documents are OCRed and algorithms are applied to them;
- Our lawyer/reviewers take a final call on the algorithm-suggested responses for the fields you want populated.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of contract work does LO2 do?
Our teams work to make contracts more understandable. Our clients give us their contracts along with what terms or portions of the contracts they are most interested in. Our work is then to comb through the contracts and pull all the most relevant clauses and details pertaining to that request. This then allows our clients to organize their contracts in a way that is most beneficial to them. Once we are done with our work, our clients will be able to know such things as when their contracts are up for renewal, how much each contract is worth and any other obligations they may have.
In some cases, our clients have used our work to target specific clauses they may want to execute. For example, one could determine whether there are any clauses in their contracts which were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. In short, we are an investigative team and an organizational team. We take the enormous mountain of opaque contracts and make them discernable. This empowers our clients to have an easy understanding of their legal obligations to their partners.
How long has LO2 been doing this work?
Starting in 2018 we began working with our first and primary contracts client. We built our team starting with about 10 people back then. Over the years we have grown our team from some of the best contracts and legal minds we could find. Our team comes from all types of legal groups. Mostly, they are lawyers who have worked extensively in the corporate contract’s world. They understand the complexities and nuances of contracts. They are people who have a strong passion for contracts and can understand even the most complex of agreements. Experience and training have been our focus from the very beginning, and we continue to pass on that institutional knowledge. The depth and breadth of contract types and companies we have worked for over the years means we have seen about every contract type there is and work to make sure that each team member can understand whatever comes their way.
How is LO2s contract work different from other legal service companies?
The amount of time we have been working on contract organization and extraction as well as the bench we set for our team’s level of experience sets us apart. Our team has been constantly busy in this type of work from the beginning and our emphasis on improving and building institutional knowledge means we stand heads and shoulders above our competition. We understand that experience also means efficiency as we set pacing goals each day for the team and strive to meet those. We also have a deep QC process which means nothing gets through the cracks. At the end of a project you will have your information in a timely manner, with a high level of accuracy and with the information you are searching for.
