Skill: Contract policy compliance

Category: Review

The
Contract Policy Compliance
skill is designed to assist legal professionals in reviewing contracts and ensuring they conform to specified policies. With the skill's redline feature, you can download outputs with changes tracked directly in the Word document, so you can easily accept or reject modifications without requiring manual copying and pasting.

Features and benefits

  • With
    Contract Policy Compliance
    , CoCounsel can determine whether your contracts or agreements include all necessary provisions as required by one or more policies, for example, anti-assignment provisions and governing law clauses.
  • CoCounsel will review your documents, identify relevant clauses and any conflicts with the provided policies.
  • In the case of non-compliance, CoCounsel will suggest revised clauses and identify potential risks associated with non-conforming clauses.

Practice tips

  1. Select the skill from the CoCounsel Library, or, in the chat, clearly state that you want to use the
    Contract Policy Compliance
    skill. For example, "I need to analyze contracts for policy compliance."
  2. Within
    Get started
    , select and upload the contract documents you would like to review for compliance with relevant policies.
  3. Select
    Next
    .
  4. Within
    Create policy
    , enter the specific language or criteria from your policies that you want to have reflected in your contract terms.
  5. For each policy provision you want to add, select
    + Add new policy
    and enter the text of the policy into the field.
  6. When you have finished adding policies, select
    Next
    .
  7. Make sure your policies are clear and well organized.
    note
    • Contract Policy Compliance
      will analyze each contract document you uploaded to compare the text of the contract with the policy provisions you entered.
    • For each contract, the skill will identify clauses that are relevant to the policies you provided and determine whether the identified clauses follow your specified policy criteria.
    • CoCounsel will flag any clauses it finds to be non-compliant and suggest revisions to align them better with your policies.
    • The final output will include a list of warnings for each policy/contract pair, indicating whether the contract complies with the relevant policy.
  8. If CoCounsel finds instances of non-compliance, details on the non-compliant language and suggested revisions will be provided. Select
    View full analysis
    to see the analysis and redlines.
  9. Download the analysis in Word or Excel. You can download redlined Word documents with tracked changes turned on with the suggested onscreen edits, or you can copy the results to paste elsewhere.
  10. From
    Results
    , you can save your favorite policies (by selecting
    Save to favorites
    ) and use them again when you create new policies in the future (by selecting
    Add from favorites
    ).

Limitations to keep in mind

  • Enter at least 1 policy.
  • Unless you need all your results in a single table, you may find it helpful to reduce processing time by dividing your contract review into chunks (for example, upload 5 at a time instead of 50).
  • The redlining feature can be used with uploaded DOCX file types only. PDFs and other file types are not supported.
  • Individual files can't exceed 500MB.
  • You can upload up to 200 files for each skill run.
  • Results are AI-generated and should be verified for accuracy.
