ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomberg Law today announced Contract Assistant (beta), a new generative AI conversational search tool for Bloomberg Law Contract Solutions that simplifies contract analysis for in-house counsel. For more information and to schedule a demo, visit https://aboutblaw.com/bfPe.

Contract Assistant quickly surfaces key information from lengthy contracts, identifies and summarizes the key provisions, and gives the user the option to learn about specific areas of a contract such as amendments, expiration dates, and renewals. It also allows users to pose questions about a contract in its entirety, such as "as the representative for the buyer in this agreement, which provisions should I pay closest attention to during negotiations and why?" This allows users to fast-track review of key aspects of the contract. Contract Assistant's plain English responses are clearly formatted and use easy to identify internal references, citing where in the contract the information is found. It offers guidance if a question can't be fully answered.

Bloomberg Law will be previewing the new Contract Assistant at the Association of Corporate Counsel Annual Meeting in Nashville October 6-9.

Bloomberg Law Contract Solutions streamlines processes, reduces risks, and improves the overall efficiency of legal services within an organization. Following the release of Clause Adviser earlier this year, Contract Assistant is the second generative AI drafting enhancement for Bloomberg Law Contract Solutions, continuing Bloomberg Law's commitment to leveraging the latest technology, to solve attorney workflow problems.

We look forward to incorporating it into our workflow to enhance our contracting efficiency."
