Contracts that have been in the queue since Tuesday, a regulatory update from last month that still has not been mapped to the agreements it affects, and a question from procurement that will take forty minutes and requires nothing more than a template and a pair of eyes. As a General Counsel, this will sound familiar. The work is not hard, but there is just too much of it.
In-house legal teams at organisations including SAP, Lufthansa, AXA, and Bosch are using LEGALFLY to handle it, so they can get back to the work that actually needs them.

How in-house legal teams use LEGALFLY
LEGALFLY gives in-house legal teams one platform for the work that fills their week: contract review, drafting, legal research, regulatory monitoring, and workflow coordination.
Data anonymisation, enterprise integrations, and lawyer sign-off are built in. The teams using it are reviewing contracts in 15 minutes, staying ahead of regulatory change, and reclaiming the hours that used to go to coordination.
Task | The problem | What AI does | LEGALFLY feature |

Contract drafting | Blank-page starts, unapproved language | Smart templates from your approved clauses | |
Legal research | Manual research across multiple jurisdictions | Sourced answers from verified legal sources | |
Regulatory monitoring | Horizon scanning is manual and reactive | Automated alerts with impact assessments | |
Workflow automation | Handoffs, routing, and follow-ups done manually | End-to-end workflow execution with human sign-off |
How in-house legal teams cut contract review from two hours to 15 minutes
A single commercial agreement can take two hours to review. A lawyer checks every clause against internal standards, flags deviations, drafts redlines, and documents the rationale. When there are dozens to do in a week, that work accumulates on the desks of the people whose time costs the most.
AI contract review built around your own playbooks
With LEGALFLY, you can use AI contract review the same document in 15 minutes. Every review runs against a playbook built from your own standards, applying the same risk thresholds and preferred wording regardless of who handles it.
LEGALFLY helps your team move faster: less time buried in contracts, more time on the work that actually matters. Book a call to see it in action.
Playbooks define what LEGALFLY checks for: the clauses to retrieve, the assessments to run, and the redraft language to apply when something falls outside your preferred position. LEGALFLY comes with 120 pre-built playbooks covering the most common contract types, and your team can build custom playbooks on top of those using your own standards and preferred language.
You can use the Playbook Builder to produce a full playbook from a reference contract or internal guidelines, with your team retaining full control over conditional rules, fallback positions, and preferred wording throughout. Every suggested edit returns as a tracked change in Word, tied to the specific playbook rule that triggered it. You see what changed and why, then accept, modify, or reject each suggestion. Final judgment stays with you throughout.
For this reason, LEGALFLY sits at the top of the best contract review AI tools.

How general counsels use LEGALFLY for contract & document review, step by step
Open the contract in Word. Launch the LEGALFLY add-in. Before any AI processing, sensitive data is anonymised: names, entities, and identifiers become tokens, and the original document stays under your control.
Select your playbook. Choose the relevant option from one of LEGALFLY’s 120 pre-built playbooks, or a custom internal standard. The playbook defines what gets reviewed, how it is assessed, and what redraft positions are applied.
Run the review. LEGALFLY analyses the contract clause by clause against your playbook, applying your organisation's risk standards consistently throughout.
Review tracked changes with rationale. Suggested edits appear as tracked changes in Word, each linked to a specific playbook rule. You see what was flagged and why, then accept, reject, or edit each change individually.
Export with a full audit trail. The final document exports with a complete record of changes, rules applied, and approvals given, ready for internal governance or external audit.
Turn it into a workflow. If this is a contract type your team reviews regularly, you can automate the entire process using Agent Studio. Business teams initiate the request from Slack, Teams, or email. LEGALFLY captures it, runs the review against your playbook, and routes the output to the right lawyer based on contract type, risk level, or counterparty. Escalation happens automatically when your criteria are met.
If you're a legal professional looking to get more from AI in your practice, LEGALFLY's AI training for legal professionals gives you the frameworks and hands-on skills to use tools like this with confidence.
How in-house legal teams ensure every contract starts from approved language
When contracts move quickly, fields can get missed. The counterparty name from the last deal stays in, confidential terms from a previous agreement are not removed, and a liability cap that no longer reflects your position is carried forward without anyone noticing. Nothing flags it at the time, so unapproved clauses accumulate and outdated templates spread across your portfolio.
LEGALFLY's drafting agent converts your existing contracts into clean templates automatically, then populates those templates with the correct information for the new agreement. The document reflects your current standards and your current counterparty, with none of the residual content from the version it was built from, and drafting time drops by 50%.
Procurement, sales, and HR teams generate their own standard contracts the same way, within guardrails you have already set, so legal spend falls and the volume of routine drafting requests reaching senior lawyers drops without any change to the standards those contracts are held to.
For broader drafting tasks, LEGALFLY's Discovery agent drafts letters, board notes, and other legal documents in your organisation's tone and in line with your policies, drawing on your own knowledge base rather than a generic legal style.
Most teams using LEGALFLY cut their contract review time in half within a few weeks of onboarding. Book a short demo to see how it works for your business.
How legal teams stay on top of regulatory change across multiple jurisdictions
Across many corporate legal departments, regulatory horizon scanning runs on manual searches, email alerts, and the hope that nothing significant slips through. For legal teams covering multiple jurisdictions, that approach can lead to large fines or enforcement action.
LEGALFLY solves this with Legal Radar, which has no equivalent in other legal AI platforms. You can configure Legal Radar to track legislative and regulatory sources across the jurisdictions that matter to you.
When something relevant moves, you receive an automated notification that summarises the change and assesses how it affects your organisation - not just what changed, but what needs to happen next. Legal Radar also searches your document repository and identifies which contracts are affected, so you know exactly where to act. It supports 80+ languages.
When a regulatory change affects existing agreements, you can use LEGALFLY's Multi-Review Agent to run a portfolio audit. Hundreds of contracts are scanned simultaneously and non-compliant ones are flagged for review. You can set this as an automated workflow.
How GCs get sourced, verified legal research across 110+ jurisdictions
A large language model trained on the open internet will return a confident answer to any legal research question. That answer may reflect outdated law, the wrong jurisdiction, or no verified source at all. For in-house counsel acting on that kind of output, the consequences are serious.
With LEGALFLY's Discovery agent, you can draw answers from 250+ verified legal sources across 110+ jurisdictions. Every answer traces back to its underlying source: legislation, regulation, or official guidance. When you need to know whether a specific obligation applies across five European markets, you can run the question through Discovery and receive a sourced, citable answer grounded in official material.
How legal teams reclaim the time that goes to coordination, not legal work
A significant share of your team's time probably goes to coordination rather than legal work: fielding requests from sales, procurement, and HR, triaging them, routing them to the right owner, chasing stakeholders, and tracking status across disconnected systems. The legal judgment is a small part, while the administration around it fills the day.
With Agent Studio, you automate that layer, with your team in control at every step. Business teams raise requests through their existing channels.
LEGALFLY captures the request, identifies the key information, and routes it to the right workflow based on contract type, department, or risk level. Custom agents, configured to your own legal standards and knowledge, run the initial work. The output comes to you for review and approval before anything returns to the business.
The difference between Agent Studio and a ticketing system is what happens to the request after it arrives. A ticketing system logs and routes it. Agent Studio executes the legal work attached to it: review, research, due diligence, or a custom task your team has defined, and delivers a reviewed output to legal rather than an unprocessed request. Your involvement is at the point where judgment is required, not at every administrative step before it.
Business teams get faster turnaround. You keep final approval on everything, and reclaim the hours that used to go to routing, follow-ups, and status checks.
How LEGALFLY fits into the tools your team already uses
LEGALFLY works where your legal work already happens. Onboarding builds around your high-volume contract types and existing golden contracts. Most teams are using it within days.
Microsoft Word add-in. Contract review and drafting run inside Word. The LEGALFLY add-in handles the full review workflow: playbook selection, AI analysis, and tracked changes, without pulling you out of the document.
Enterprise integrations. You can connect LEGALFLY to SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Copilot, Slack, and Google Drive. Business teams raise requests through those existing channels, LEGALFLY routes them automatically, and outputs return through the same channels.
Outlook add-in. LEGALFLY reads the email and understands the full thread, so you can summarise emails and attachments, draft a reply, run legal research against verified sources or your internal documentation, review a contract, or translate with legal context, without leaving your inbox.
Data security. LEGALFLY is the only legal AI that anonymises documents before analysis begins. Names, entities, and identifying information become tokens at the point of ingestion, so the original data stays under your control throughout. This anonymisation layer is built into the platform, running across every workflow, user, and document.
Certifications and deployment. LEGALFLY holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, with on-premises deployment available for organisations with strict data residency requirements. The platform supports 80+ languages.

Frequently asked questions
What can AI do for a corporate legal department?
AI handles the tasks that consume the most legal team time without requiring senior legal judgment: contract review, drafting, research, and regulatory monitoring. Contract review delivers the most immediate value: a two-hour manual review becomes 15 minutes, with your standards applied consistently across every contract.
How do legal departments use AI for contract review?
With LEGALFLY, in-house teams build playbooks that encode their own standards: the clauses to check, the risk thresholds to apply, and the redraft language to use when a clause falls outside your preferred position. LEGALFLY reviews each contract against that playbook and returns tracked changes in Word, with each suggested edit tied to the specific rule that triggered it. Because the playbook carries your own standards rather than a generic rule set, every review reflects your organisation's actual risk position. You see the reasoning behind each suggestion and retain final authority throughout.
Is AI safe to use with confidential legal documents?
The answer depends on the platform. LEGALFLY anonymises all sensitive data at the point of ingestion: names, entities, and identifying information become tokens before the document reaches any AI model, so the original data stays under your control throughout. The platform holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, with on-premises deployment available for organisations with strict data residency requirements. That anonymisation layer is built into every LEGALFLY workflow, applying consistently across every user and every document without requiring a separate process.
How long does it take to implement AI in legal departments?
With LEGALFLY, you go live within days. Playbook Builder generates a working playbook from your existing golden contracts in seconds, and the Word add-in leaves your team's working habits untouched. Onboarding builds around the contract types you already handle in volume, so there is no configuration from scratch.
Will AI replace in-house legal professionals?
No. You use AI tools to absorb the work that should not require senior legal judgment: repetitive review, standard drafting, and routine research, and you return that time to work that does. LEGALFLY builds human sign-off into every stage. You review, approve, and keep final authority over every output.
How does AI reduce legal spend for in-house teams?
In two ways. First, your team handles more volume without adding headcount or routing work to outside counsel, which cuts the direct cost of legal work. Second, your business teams self-serve on standard contracts and legal workflows within guardrails you have already set, which reduces the volume of routine requests reaching senior lawyers. Agent Studio is built specifically for the second category.
