Contract-review assistant over 12,000 legal documents.
Context
A Series-A fintech with a 3-person legal team reviewing about 400 contracts a month across institutional clients and partners. Average time per contract: 45 minutes. Chronic backlog of 2–3 weeks.
Challenge
Reduce review time without sacrificing precision on critical clauses (SLAs, liability, intellectual property), keeping all data inside the client's VPC — it couldn't go to external providers.
Solution
A review assistant with Claude Sonnet served via AWS Bedrock (data in the EU), RAG over the historical base of 12,000 contracts with embeddings in pgvector, and a human approval flow that keeps the lawyer in the loop for every recommendation.
