LONDON – Tuesday 20th March 2018
ThoughtRiver announced today that its pioneering contract analysis technology has been selected by global renewable materials company Stora Enso to run trials to pre-screen a wide range of sales agreements with the purpose of dramatically reducing the time it takes to review contracts.
“We are pleased to collaborate with ThoughtRiver and look forward to working together,” said Christian Swartling, Lead Counsel, Legal Services. “We have been looking at AI for while but this is the first application we have seen that promises to do the initial reviews and pre-screening that hopefully fits our processes".
ThoughtRiver software interprets key risk issues in a contract, dynamically applying corporate policies in order to assign an overall risk score to a contract, automating the human triaging process. With research suggesting up to 40% of lawyer time is wasted on low value issues, ThoughtRiver informs legal teams which contracts to look at and which issues to focus on, without having to read them all first.
"We are excited to be working with one of the world’s most innovative renewable materials companies” said Tim Pullan, Founder and CEO at ThoughtRiver. “We look forward to helping them identify the risk and value contained in their contracts."
