Contract review and abstraction
Contract value sits in a filing cabinet until someone turns it into data. We read each agreement and abstract it into the fields you specify: parties, term, renewal and notice dates, liability position, assignment, termination and anything else your register tracks — with a page reference on every field.
24/7 virtual paralegal support. First 12 working hours free. Then $12 USD/hour after signing.
What the work involves
Abstraction into your field template, or one we design with you first.
Key-date register: term, renewal, notice windows and expiry, ready for calendaring.
Obligation and deliverable extraction per party.
Clause deviation report against your playbook or fallback positions.
First-pass review of routine agreements, with anything outside the playbook escalated.
What you receive
- Contract abstract per agreement
- Portfolio register (spreadsheet or your system's import format)
- Key-date and renewal calendar
- Obligation register

Turnaround
Paralegal team coverage and authorised QA are available 24/7. The delivery timeline is agreed for the actual task, record volume and complexity. Round-the-clock support never removes verification or review.
How the engagement runs
HOW WE WORK
A named person.
A controlled file path.
Your matter stays with the assigned delivery team and authorised quality reviewer. Five connected stages, from instruction to delivery.

STEP 01
Client
Your instructions. Your priorities.
- 02
STEP 02
Assigned person
A named paralegal for your matter.
- 03
STEP 03

- 04
STEP 04
Authorised QA
Checked before it reaches you.
- 05
STEP 05
Delivery
Ready for your review and adoption.
If work does not pass Authorised QA, it returns to the assigned person for correction before anything is delivered.
Questions we are asked
- What format do we receive the register in?
- Excel or CSV as standard, structured for import into whatever system you use. We do not sell or operate contract software.
- Can you review against our playbook?
- Yes. Send the playbook and fallback positions; anything outside them is escalated to your team rather than decided by us.
