Legal teams need to know which contracts set unusual payment terms, which include unfavorable liability, and which expire in the next quarter. Traditional CLM tools make that harder than it should be, requiring weeks of training models before you get a single useful answer.

That delay has always been the hidden barrier in contract intelligence. Faster approvals and better storage help, but the real challenge is turning contract text into answers the business can use right away. IntelAgree’s recent Saige Assist enhancements — specifically, its new question attributes feature — solve this by letting you ask questions in plain English and receive instant, reasoned responses.

Want to know how long an agreement runs or whether it allows press releases? Type the question, and the system interprets the language across the entire document even when the answer isn’t spelled out word-for-word. When scale matters, bulk markup applies those same questions across multiple contracts simultaneously, delivering portfolio-wide insights in a fraction of the time.

The result is contract intelligence that adapts as quickly as your business does. Instead of being locked into what you trained months ago, you can extract new attributes, surface risks, and generate insights whenever priorities shift.

Outside Counsel Guidelines (OCGs) govern the critical relationship between law firms and their corporate clients, outlining essential rules for billing practices, conflicts of interest, data privacy, diversity and inclusion, confidentiality, record retention, and more. Effective oversight of OCGs ensures compliance, safeguards client relationships, and helps to mitigate substantial financial and reputational risks, but with each client setting a unique set of requirements, managing OCGs can be daunting for even the most organized law firms.

The Challenge

For law firms, the sheer variety and complexity of OCGs across multiple clients can lead to missed obligations, inefficiencies, and potential noncompliance. Firms face significant challenges in:

  • Ingesting, tracking, and monitoring terms across documents.
  • Identifying and mitigating event-driven risks.
  • Ensuring streamlined processes for compliance with widely varying client requirements.

QuisLex Can Help

Our managed service helps law firms simplify and centralize OCG ingestion, amendments, obligation tracking, reporting, and compliance, transforming an operational burden into an opportunity to create a competitive edge (and, most importantly, improve client satisfaction by removing unnecessary roadblocks from the provision of legal services).

What We Do

  1. Centralized OCG Management
    Organize and store all OCGs in a central repository, with metadata profiling by region, law firm entity, and document type.
  2. Obligation Mapping
    Identify, tag, and map each OCG obligation to specific, actionable steps.
  3. Event-Driven Notifications
    Create alerts to highlight potential risks, ensuring proactive issue resolution.
  4. Customizable Reports
    Generate detailed reports tailored to stakeholders, providing data insights for tracking and compliance, as well as identifying opportunities for process improvement.
  5. Technology Integration
    We help our law firm clients evaluate and implement cutting-edge software, or simply integrate our services with their existing tools.

Enter a world where questions are actually encouraged, and concepts like ‘teamwork’ are more than a curiosity.

By Neil Handwerker and Kimberly Fine on July 23, 2025 12:14 pm

When lawyers who have never worked in business transition to a nonlegal job, they may feel as if they have landed on another planet — in some good ways and some bad ways. Fortunately, the good far outweighs the bad.

In addition to placing job ads on the ex judicata job board, more and more companies are asking us to conduct individual searches. Typically, they are for more experienced lawyers — often a law firm partner — for a specific nonlegal job.

We recently placed a partner from an Am Law 10 firm with a Fortune 500 client in a non-practicing capacity. She noted two things right off the bat:

Your legal team just spent three weeks negotiating a software contract. The vendor agreed to most of your terms, approvals flew through the system, and everyone celebrated closing the deal ahead of schedule. Six months later, a vague performance clause you overlooked is causing project delays and vendor disputes.

Most contract software treats symptoms, not the disease. You get faster approvals and better organization, but your contracts still contain the same traps that create problems later. Agentic AI represents the next evolution in contract intelligence — systems designed to understand why contract terms are problematic and how to fix them, rather than just flagging issues.

This emerging technology could explain why specific language creates risk and suggest alternatives from your company’s negotiation playbook that already worked in similar situations. If a counterparty pushes back, agentic AI may recommend different approaches based on how your team handled comparable terms before. The goal is building on institutional knowledge instead of starting from scratch every time.

The technology is also poised to update risk assessments dynamically as business conditions change. When companies acquire new businesses or face regulatory shifts, advanced agentic AI could automatically rescan contracts to identify clauses that no longer align with current risk frameworks, giving legal teams real-time insights into which agreements need attention.

IntelAgree has been building toward this vision for nearly a decade, developing AI infrastructure specifically designed to support these advanced capabilities. Our approach integrates the latest language models into a platform built from the ground up for contract intelligence, not retrofitted with AI as an afterthought.
