INDUSTRIES · LAW FIRMS, GENERAL COUNSEL, AND CORPORATE LEGAL TEAMS.

Legal AI you can put in front of a partner, a client, or a regulator.

The A4 Platform runs the contract lifecycle, corporate-entity governance, and document-grounded investigations on one permission model and one tamper-evident record. Agents review, draft, and investigate against your own documents; a named lawyer signs off before anything binds; and every finding links to the source behind it — so when a client or a court asks where an answer came from, you have the receipt.

Put an agent on legal & law firms work — the answer arrives with the governed record behind it.

THE PROBLEM IN YOUR SECTOR

Your team already uses AI. The hard part is proving you can trust it.

Adoption has outrun trust: contract review, drafting, and research run through tools your firm can't fully see into, while courts now sanction the lawyer — not the vendor — for an answer that turns out to be invented, and feeding client data to the wrong tool can break privilege.

When AI drafts or reviews, you can't show what it touched, which sources it read, or under whose authority — and the duty to verify every citation now falls on the lawyer, not the tool.
Sending client material to an outside AI tool can be treated as disclosure to a third party — putting privilege and your outside-counsel obligations at risk.
Contract review lives in one tool, the CLM in another, e-signature in a third, and entity records in a spreadsheet — each with its own audit trail, or none.
Renewals, notice periods, and statutory filings are tracked by hand, so deadlines slip past before anyone notices.
AI YOU CAN DEFEND — GROUNDED, LOGGED, AND PROVABLE

Every review, signature, and finding on one governed, tamper-evident record.

Because the contract lifecycle, entity governance, and investigations share one platform, the proof of the work accumulates as you do it — each AI suggestion traced to the document behind it, each action attributed to a person, and the whole chain ready for a partner, a client, or a regulator who asks how the work was done.

AI contract review returns a 0–100 risk score, a plain-English summary, and severity-located findings in minutes — and every accepted suggestion becomes a tracked-change redline.
A clause library and executable playbooks apply your firm's standards to every contract automatically, firing live deviation alerts the moment a draft goes off-standard.
The full contract lifecycle on one record — drafting, numbered amendments, ordered approvals, obligation tracking, and auto-renewal notices — so renewals and notice periods stop slipping past.
Legally binding e-signature under ESIGN and UETA, with document hashing and an external signer portal — counterparties sign by secure link with no account, and you capture forensic-grade proof of who signed what and when.
A legal-entity register with a visual chart and a statutory-filing tracker that warns before every deadline, each entity linked to the contracts behind it.
Agent-orchestrated investigations turn a plain-language question into ordered workstreams and confidence-scored, source-cited findings — shared through privileged counsel rooms where every view is watermarked and logged.

LEGAL OPERATIONS

Contract lifecycle dashboard

The command center for the whole legal function — contract pipeline by stage, value under management, and what needs attention today.

Expiring agreements, open obligations, and upcoming statutory filings surface on one screen, and every figure is a live link straight into the record behind it.

app.cognethics.com/legal/dashboard
CONTRACT LIFECYCLE

Contract pipeline board

Every agreement on one board, organized by lifecycle stage from draft through pending approval, approved, and executed.

Counterparty, value, and key dates sit on each card, so the whole portfolio's status reads at a glance and nothing stalls unnoticed between stages.

app.cognethics.com/legal/contracts
DRAFTING

Reusable contract templates

Every contract starts from your approved, on-policy language by type.

Master service agreements, NDAs, statements of work, vendor and customer agreements — each new contract inherits standardized terms, so drafting is faster and never rebuilt from scratch.

app.cognethics.com/legal/templates
ENTITY GOVERNANCE

Legal-entity register

One authoritative record for every company, subsidiary, and legal vehicle you control.

Type, jurisdiction, formation details, and good-standing status live in structured fields — with every contract that entity is party to one click away.

app.cognethics.com/legal/entities
ENTITY GOVERNANCE

Corporate org chart

The entire corporate structure in a single diagram, color-coded by compliance standing.

Parent-and-subsidiary relationships and filing health are visible per entity, so legal exposure is something you can see instead of something buried across folders and spreadsheets.

app.cognethics.com/legal/entities/chart
POST-SIGNATURE

Obligation & milestone tracking

Every commitment a signed contract creates — deliverables, milestones, recurring duties — tracked to completion.

Each obligation is assigned to an owner with due dates and reminders, so the promises buried in executed agreements actually get met instead of slipping past.

app.cognethics.com/legal/obligations
SIGNING

Built-in e-signature

Send contracts for legally binding signature without paying a third-party service per envelope.

Counterparties sign through a secure link with no account to create, and every signature captures forensic-grade proof — who signed, from where, and when — on an immutable trail.

app.cognethics.com/legal/esignatures
STANDARDS

Negotiation clause library

Your firm's negotiating know-how, captured as reusable, pre-approved clauses.

Organized by category and negotiation position, the library lets every draft be assembled faster and stay consistent with the positions your team has already agreed to defend.

app.cognethics.com/legal/clause-library
STANDARDS

Executable playbooks

The rules that define what 'on-standard' means for each contract type, applied automatically.

Playbooks encode your contracting standards once and enforce them on every agreement, so review starts from your position instead of a blank page.

app.cognethics.com/legal/playbooks
GUARDRAILS

Playbook deviation alerts

The moment a draft goes off-standard, a severity-ranked alert names the rule it broke and where.

Risky terms surface during review, not after signing — turning your playbook from a document nobody reads into a live guardrail on every contract.

app.cognethics.com/legal/playbooks/deviations
AI CONTRACT REVIEW

AI contract review

AI reads a contract against your playbook and returns a 0–100 risk score, a plain-English summary, and findings located by severity — in minutes.

It is a fast, consistent first pass that scales past manual review, and every suggestion you accept becomes a tracked-change redline ready to send back.

app.cognethics.com/legal/ai-review
SAME GOVERNANCE, YOUR SECTOR’S PROOF

Three independent, tamper-evident audit trails — contracts, signatures, and access.

Outside-counsel guidelines increasingly demand you prove how AI was used, what was reviewed, and who reviewed it — here that proof is built in as you work, not assembled after.

Contract, signature, and counsel-room access each advance a separate SHA-256 hash-chained audit trail — alter one entry and the chain breaks, detectably.
Agents act under a named person's permissions, never widening them, and anything consequential stops for that person's approval — every refusal shown in plain language as proof the guardrails fire.
Your contracts, entities, and privileged documents stay on infrastructure you govern, encrypted under your key, and A4 never trains on your data — so client material never leaves your boundary to be processed.
