How to Review a
Contract Faster and
More Efficiently
Contract Review
 Reviewing contracts swiftly and efficiently is crucial for any
organization. It ensures compliance, reduces risks, and keeps
business operations running smoothly. Here's a comprehensive
guide to make the contract review process faster and more
efficient:
Leverage Technology and
Automation
 Invest in contract management software that uses AI and
machine learning. These tools can automatically extract key
terms, identify potential risks, and flag inconsistencies.
Automation saves time on manual tasks and improves the
accuracy of the review process.
Use Standardized Templates
and Clauses
 Create standardized contract templates and pre-approved
clauses for common use. This consistency across all contracts
reduces the need for extensive reviews of repetitive language.
Templates also help quickly identify deviations or unusual
terms that need special attention.
Implement a Structured
Review Process
 Set up a clear and structured workflow for contract reviews.
Define specific roles and responsibilities within the review
process to ensure that each part of the contract is examined
by the appropriate expert, such as legal, financial, or
technical reviewers. A structured process helps manage time
effectively and ensures thorough reviews.
Create Comprehensive Checklists
 Develop detailed checklists to guide the contract review
process. These checklists should cover critical areas such as
key terms, pricing, compliance, risk factors, and renewal
clauses. Checklists help reviewers stay organized, reduce the
chance of overlooking important elements, and speed up the
review process.
Utilize Contract Analytics
 Use contract analytics tools to gain valuable insights by
analyzing past contracts and identifying trends. These tools
can highlight areas that typically cause delays or problems,
allowing reviewers to focus on critical issues quickly.
Analytics also support informed decision-making by providing
data-driven insights.
Foster Effective Collaboration
 Encourage collaboration among all stakeholders involved in the
contract review process. Use collaborative platforms and tools
to facilitate communication, document sharing, and real-time
feedback. Effective collaboration ensures that all relevant
perspectives are considered, and the review process moves
forward without unnecessary delays.
Focus on High-Risk Areas
 Prioritize the review of high-risk contract clauses that can
significantly impact your business. Provisions such as
indemnification, termination, intellectual property rights,
and compliance obligations should receive more attention. By
focusing on these critical areas, you can mitigate potential
risks efficiently.
Implement Automated
Approval Workflows
 Automate the approval process using workflow automation tools.
These tools can route contracts to the appropriate reviewers
based on predefined criteria and approval hierarchies.
Automated workflows reduce manual intervention, minimize
delays, and ensure timely approvals.
Train Your Team
 Provide ongoing training for your contract review team on best
practices, relevant legal requirements, and company policies.
Educated and well-trained reviewers can identify issues more
quickly and make informed decisions, thereby enhancing the
overall efficiency of the review process.
Monitor and Optimize the Process
 Regularly monitor key performance metrics such as review cycle
times, error rates, and approval turnaround times. Use this
data to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies. Continuously
seek feedback from reviewers and implement improvements to
optimize the contract review process.
Conclusion
 Efficient contract review is vital for maintaining compliance,
reducing risks, and ensuring smooth business operations. By
leveraging technology, using standardized templates,
implementing structured processes, fostering collaboration,
and focusing on high-risk areas, organizations can
significantly speed up the contract review process. Continuous
monitoring and optimization further enhance efficiency,
enabling businesses to manage contracts effectively and stay
ahead in a competitive environment.
