Where the work was stuck.
Junior lawyers at Atlas & Vale spent hours on first-pass review of NDAs, supplier agreements and engagement letters. As client deal flow grew, the backlog started delaying signatures.
Partners wanted faster turnaround without compromising the firm’s standards or its liability position.

What Cortex built.
We encoded the firm’s negotiation playbooks into a review agent that extracts clauses, compares them with approved positions and drafts redlines for standard deviations.
Each contract arrives on a lawyer’s desk with a risk summary and suggested edits, routed by practice area and urgency.
How the system works, step by step.

Return to client
Tracked to signature
First-pass review time dropped by three quarters, NDAs now go back the same day, and lawyers spend their hours on negotiation and advice instead of comparison.
Our lawyers trust the first draft because it follows our own playbook. Clients simply see that we are faster, and that matters.
