Introducing the Compare Agent: A faster way to review legal documents

Reviewing legal documents often takes more time than it should. When lawyers and legal teams are asked to compare terms from third parties, customers, or competitors, they have to do that by reading both documents line by line. LEGALFLY’s new Compare Agent changes that.

The Compare Agent allows you to upload multiple documents, set one as your reference, and instantly understand how the others differ. You no longer have to extract clauses manually or build your own summary. The agent highlights which points are more or less favourable, based on the reference document you chose.

How the Compare Agent works

The Compare Agent is designed to help you focus on the differences that matter. Instead of simply pulling out similar clauses across contracts, it helps you understand how those clauses stack up against each other.

You can set any document as your reference. Then, you can upload up to 20 additional documents to compare with it. The agent presents a grid-style summary of the key points, so you can scan for differences at a glance. If you want to go deeper, you can click into any cell to see the exact wording that was compared. You can also download the full report to share. 

If you realise there is an additional point you want to compare, you can add it at any point without restarting your review. The Compare Agent is flexible and works with over 120 types of contracts. You can let it suggest common checks for each type, or set up your own custom comparisons.

Where the Compare Agent helps in legal work

These are just some of the ways legal teams could use the Compare Agent. Its applications span industries and contract types, from commercial agreements to regulatory documents and supplier contracts.

Reviewing third-party papers

Sometimes, a counterparty on using their own contract. This might be their version of an NDA or a master services agreement. Instead of reviewing it from scratch, you can use the Compare Agent to check how their terms differ from your own approved template.

This gives you an instant view of what’s missing, what’s been added, and which terms may be more risky. Since your own template already follows company policy, it acts as a reliable benchmark. The agent shows you where the differences are, so you can focus your time on the clauses that need legal attention and skip the rest.

Comparing insurance policies

Underwriters often receive competitor policies from customers who want to understand the difference. With the Compare Agent, you can upload the competitor’s policy, set your own as the reference, and instantly show how your terms provide better cover, fewer exclusions, or simpler wording. 

Reviewing loan agreements

If you’re reviewing multiple loan agreements, you can use the Compare Agent to identify key differences in financial terms, covenants, and conditions. Instead of reading each document in full, they can set their preferred loan structure as the reference and focus on the points that are more aggressive or less favourable in the other offers.

Running procurement reviews

Procurement teams often receive contracts from several shortlisted vendors. With the Compare Agent, you can upload each vendor’s terms and compare them to your standard procurement agreement. This surfaces key differences in liability, indemnity, service levels and data terms. Legal can then review only the points that require input, which speeds up the process and frees up time.

Analysing supplier MSAs in manufacturing

Manufacturers often work with multiple suppliers across regions. When each supplier sends in their own version of a master services agreement, the Compare Agents lets legal teams assess risk exposure in key areas like warranty terms, service levels, and liability limits, all in a fraction of the time.

Reviewing partnership agreements 

Tech companies frequently enter into strategic partnerships or co-marketing agreements. When partners send over their own terms, the Compare Agent lets you check these against your standard collaboration framework, so you can quickly identify any misalignment around branding, confidentiality, or IP.

Assessing fund documentation in financial services

Asset managers and legal teams reviewing subscription agreements or limited partnership agreements from multiple funds can use Compare to benchmark key clauses, such as investor rights, reporting obligations, or fee structures, against internal standards.

Comparing data processing addenda (DPAs)

For any business handling customer data, DPAs are common and often provided by the client. The Compare Agent helps you check their DPA against your approved version to spot unfavourable positions on audit rights, cross-border transfers, or breach notification timelines.

Compare contracts in minutes, not hours

If you're spending too much time reviewing legal documents, the Compare Agent can help you move faster and focus where it matters. Get in touch to see how it fits into your workflow, or for a tailored demo using your own documents.
