Contract management is one of the most document-intensive and risk-sensitive processes in any organization. With the rise of generative AI, legal and procurement teams can now automate drafting, streamline reviews, and reduce errors across the entire contract lifecycle. This course introduces participants to how generative AI is reshaping contract workflows from creation to execution and post-signature analysis.
Participants will explore practical applications of AI in contract drafting, risk identification, clause standardization, negotiation support, and compliance tracking. The course also addresses ethical considerations and security protocols to ensure responsible AI use in legal operations. Through hands-on demos and real-world case studies, attendees will gain the confidence to integrate AI into their contract management processes effectively.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the role of generative AI in the contract lifecycle.
- Automate key steps such as drafting, redlining, and clause insertion.
- Use AI tools to identify risks, suggest edits, and ensure compliance.
- Reduce contract turnaround time and manual workload.
- Evaluate the benefits and limitations of AI in legal document handling.
- Apply governance, data privacy, and ethical frameworks to contract AI usage.
- Integrate AI-powered solutions into existing CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management) systems.
This course is ideal for:
- Contract managers and legal operations professionals.
- Procurement and vendor management teams.
- In-house legal counsel and compliance officers.
- Paralegals and legal assistants using AI in workflows.
- Tech teams supporting legal automation and CLM platforms.
- Consultants and advisors in legal tech and digital transformation.
The course includes expert-led sessions, tool demonstrations, contract analysis exercises, and workflow mapping. Participants will interact with AI tools (like ChatGPT, Spellbook, and Microsoft Copilot), review AI-generated contracts, and explore integration options. The learning approach emphasizes practicality, security, and responsible AI deployment.
Day 5 of each course is reserved for a Q&A session, which may occur off-site. For 10-day courses, this also applies to day 10
