Contract review software is rapidly reshaping how legal and business teams manage contracts.
It's helping them review third-party agreements faster, flag risks with greater accuracy, and stay aligned with internal playbooks.
But to use AI contract review software successfully, you need to understand how it works, and before that, you need to choose the right tool. This deep-dive into contract review tools will give you everything you need to navigate this new technology with confidence.
Contract review software is a platform that helps legal and business teams streamline how they assess legal documents, validate terms, and negotiate changes, without sacrificing accuracy or oversight.
Rather than manually working through every clause line by line, the software can surface key provisions, flag non-standard language, and highlight risks that require attention or revision.
Here’s how it works:
Contract review is a popular use case for legal AI, with our recent survey of in-house lawyers revealing that more than half (58 per cent) have used AI to review contracts in the last year, and a further 40 per cent saying that they’re considering doing so in the near future.
However, our data also surfaced another interesting trend: lawyers remain more reluctant to use AI to redline contracts, with under a third (31 per cent) using AI tools in this way.
The truth is, redlining contracts remains a uniquely challenging task for AI—not because of language understanding alone, but because of the sheer volume and nuance of context required to do it well.
Compare this to more straightforward text interpretation tasks, like data extraction. If you ask AI to find the effective date in a vendor agreement, it needs very little context. It simply looks for patterns—words like “effective” or “date,” combined with characters that resemble a date format—and the task is complete.
But redlining is fundamentally different. To redline effectively, AI needs access to a deeply specific web of contextual knowledge, including but not limited to:
Even subtleties like how aggressive or collaborative the opposing party seems—or how much wiggle room your team has on a given point—can dramatically change how a clause should be marked up.
Only recently, largely thanks to well-designed, intelligently processed playbooks, have contract review tools begun to achieve this goal effectively.
The evolution of contract review software has mirrored the rise and maturation of AI itself.
The earliest wave of AI contract review solutions were largely rules-based engines. They offered basic clause identification and risk flagging, typically through keyword matching and fixed if/then logic. While helpful for triaging high-volume contracts like NDAs, these tools were brittle and struggling with nuanced language or contextual variations.
As machine learning matured, some contract review platforms began incorporating clause extraction models and probabilistic scoring to improve issue spotting. These tools promised smarter redlining and playbook-based mitigation. But sophistication varied wildly:
Accuracy improved, but legal teams still had to double-check outputs and replicate much of the work in their CLM due to the isolated nature of these point solutions.
Today, a new generation of contract review software is emerging. The leading tools are agentic systems—AI tools that don’t just spot risks, but actually take intelligent actions based on your organisation’s context and are embedded firmly in your existing workflows and systems. At Juro, we’re calling this new era intelligent contracting.
This new standard of AI contract review software is:

Juro’s AI-powered contract review agent now allows third-party contracts to be reviewed and redlined against your contract playbooks. This is available in Juro, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft Word, making this fully automated contract review functionality accessible where your teams already work.
Juro’s AI agent analyzes the contract, highlights risks and deviations from standard terms, and then redlines problematic clauses by proposing a fallback position along with reasoning.
Unlike many other AI contract review platforms, Juro’s review agent is embedded in the places your teams already work, but also within Juro, meaning you can have the agility and sheer power of AI agents, and the peace of mind that comes from an underlying system of record and contract repository.
Juro is rated 4.6 out of 5 on G2 at the time of writing, with legal teams sharing that “the AI tool has saved a ton of time with third-party contract reviews” and that “Juro has helped engage business partners in the legal review process”.

ThoughtRiver is an AI-driven contract acceleration platform designed to streamline contract review processes. It uses advanced natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to swiftly analyze contracts, extract vital information, and identify risks, ensuring rapid and consistent reviews.
The platform proudly shares the efforts it takes to improve accuracy, including that their legal knowledge base was pre-trained with more than 2,000 questions to ensure informed decision-making during the review process.
Notably, ThoughtRiver does not fall into the contract management software category, though This is because it doesn’t offer value at every stage of the contract lifecycle. Instead, it focuses on that review phase.
Unfortunately, ThoughtRiver doesn’t have any G2 reviews at the time of writing, and only one review on Capterra.
ThoughtRiver’s customers include Shoosmiths and Foley & Lardner LLP, with both law firms sharing their customer stories. However, ThoughtRiver is promoted as being used across several departments, including finance, HR, procurement, and more.
Based on ThoughtRiver’s existing customer stories, the platform appears to be best for legal teams at corporate or law firms interacting with sales and procurement deals that want to improve velocity.

Kira is rated 4.3 out of 5 on G2, but with fewer reviews than some other vendors such as Juro. Interestingly, many of these reviews are more dated than those for other vendors, too.
That said, data extraction is one of the most popular use cases according to independent reviews, particularly in the context of due diligence.
Litera’s Kira is typically adopted by law firms in particular, rather than by in-house legal departments at fast-growing companies. However, the company says they do serve some corporates, too.

Luminance is best for large law firms, professional service firms, and global enterprises in regulated industries.
Of course, you also have general purpose AI tools that are typically adopted by the wider business. But how do they fare for contracting in particular?
ChatGPT can assist with reviewing contracts, but it’s not a recommended solution. There are two main reasons for that:
That said, when approached with care and precision, there are several ways legal teams can use ChatGPT in their day-to-day operations, particularly if they are yet to secure investment in legal tech. We even have some popular prompts shared by fellow lawyers.
