The CLO’s guide to Generative AI risks and opportunities
Use cases by focus area
Here are ways CLOs can harness GenAI’s capabilities
Contract life cycle management
Contract amendment and drafting
GenAI can assist with contract and amendment drafting by receiving a set of parameters once and then automatically generating new contracts based on the user’s inputs, saving legal teams time and effort while also potentially reducing risk.
Contract redlining
GenAI can be used to redline and compare contracts to playbooks or any given set of parameters, making it easy to identify and correct any changes that need to be made. This can help speed up the contract negotiation process and further reduce the risk of manual errors.
Suggested language for contracts
GenAI can suggest new or better contract language based on prior contract history or other defined parameters. This can help legal teams draft comprehensive and compliant contracts more efficiently.
Litigation prep
Legal research
Using natural language processing, Generative AI can assist in finding on-point legal research; once located, GenAI tools can summarize the contents and point readers to the most important points.
Reporting and key performance indicators (KPIs)
Once pointed at repositories containing relevant materials, GenAI tools can programmatically improve existing KPIs, create new KPIs, and establish relationships among KPI metrics that look forward. Given the speed at which GenAI can process new data, reports and KPIs could be kept up to date more easily.
But the predictions aren’t all dire. Generative AI may cause, or even force, change in the legal function, but it’s not likely to completely replace lawyers. Instead, the effective implementation of GenAI in the legal function may shift lawyers into more strategic and business-oriented work.
