Your company can’t do business without contracts, and your legal department is highly skilled at managing those contracts. But are you, as trusted legal advisors, giving your company the most value from those crucial agreements? For example, if your chief financial officer (CFO) comes to your department with the news that the business needs to raise prices, could you quickly tell the CFO which of the company’s contracts can accommodate a price increase?
If your company’s legal department is like many, you don’t have an easily searchable repository of contracts to turn to for a fast answer to that question. Determining the strategic path and figuring out what to tell your CFO, which will influence what your business does next, will cost you and your team hours of work and a lot of aggravation.
To make full use of the value embedded in your company’s contracts, your legal team needs complete visibility of your holistic contract portfolio. And complete visibility requires a system for managing the entire contract lifecycle, so your team can take swift action in response to business or regulatory needs. The good news is, systems like that do exist: they’re called contract lifecycle management (CLM).

These days, it seems impossible to talk about eDiscovery or document review without mention of Technology Assisted Review (TAR). In its broadest use as a technical term, TAR can refer to virtually any manner of technical assistance – from password cracking to threading to duplicate and near-duplicate detection. In its narrower use, TAR refers to techniques that involve the use of technology to predict (or to replicate) the decision a human expert would make about the classification or category of a document. In this narrower sense, TAR often comes with a version number – TAR 1.0, TAR 2.0, and more recently, TAR 3.0. While some are inclined to advocate for the superiority of a single approach, each version has its merits and place, and understanding the underlying process and technology is crucial to selecting the right approach for a specific discovery need.
We recently authored a white paper to offer a discussion of the variables to consider when choosing the right TAR workflow for a specific matter, as well as the main principles behind different TAR solutions. By doing so, we make the claim that true preparedness lies in understanding the range of core technology within the TAR landscape, and further knowing how and where to access the right combination of people, process, and technology to meet any discovery need. If you or your team have had mixed results with TAR, or want some guidance on deciding your approach with TAR in your next matter, you may find this paper helpful.
