What AI analysis brings to contract review

Analyzing a contract means extracting useful information from it and assessing its risks: parties, dates, amounts, liability clauses, obligations, deviations from a reference model. Performed manually, this review is slow and uneven from one file to the next. Certyneo's AI automates the repetitive part of this work: it reads the contract, extracts its structuring elements, highlights sensitive clauses and flags unusual deviations. The lawyer retains final decision-making; the AI saves them reading time so they can focus on value-added analysis. No AI provider is exposed to third parties: the analysis is performed by our AI, on a sovereign infrastructure.

To move from theory to practice, discover the Certyneo electronic signature solution and its offer dedicated to your sector — eIDAS compliant, no installation required.

  • Automatic extraction of key metadata: parties, dates, amounts, deadlines.
  • Identification of structuring clauses: liability, confidentiality, termination, warranties.
  • Detection of deviations from a reference model or internal policy.
  • A lawyer always in the loop: the AI proposes, the human validates and decides.

What our AI can extract and analyze

The parties to the contract and their legal identities.
Key dates: signature, effective date, expiration, notice period.
Amounts, financial conditions and penalties.
Sensitive clauses: liability, intellectual property, personal data.
Obligations and milestones to track after signature.
Deviations and unusual clauses compared to your standards.

How AI contract analysis works

  1. 1

    Contract import

    The contract is uploaded to the platform. Our AI reads it in its entirety, regardless of its format, to prepare structured analysis.

  2. 2

    Extraction of key elements

    Certyneo's AI automatically identifies and extracts metadata and structuring clauses: parties, dates, amounts, obligations, liability and termination clauses.

  3. 3

    Risk and deviation detection

    The contract is compared against your templates and internal policies. Our AI highlights unusual clauses, points requiring attention, and deviations that merit legal review.

  4. 4

    Human review and decision

    Results are presented in a concise format. The legal team validates, corrects, or deepens the analysis: AI accelerates the review, but decision-making remains in your teams' hands.

Frequently asked questions

Does AI analysis replace the legal team?
No. Our AI automates reading and extraction, but legal decision-making remains human. The goal is to free up time on repetitive tasks so your legal team can focus on high-value analysis and risk assessment.
What risks can AI detect in a contract?
Certyneo's AI identifies notably imbalanced liability clauses, notice periods, financial commitments, unusual clauses, and deviations from your reference template. It flags these points without substituting for their qualification by a legal professional.
Are my contracts used to train an external model?
No. Analysis is performed by our AI on a sovereign infrastructure hosted in the European Union. Your contracts remain confidential and are not used to train any third-party model.
What types of contracts can be analyzed?
Most commercial, supplier, HR, or service contracts. Analysis is particularly useful during stock acquisition, audit, or due diligence, where many contracts need to be reviewed quickly.
What AI technology is used?
Analysis relies on Certyneo's AI, operated on sovereign infrastructure. We guarantee confidentiality and compliance in data processing, without exposing your data to public services.
