Now you have an even better space for legal and the business to connect for streamlined intake, collaboration, and self service.

If you missed our recent webinar covering key features of the new Business Portal and the upcoming changes, click here to watch the recording. We covered:

There will be changes to your user experience, but every organization is set up differently so we’ve put together a resource upgrade pack to help you upgrade with ease. In the pack, you’ll find help articles, and how-to videos, along with recommendations on how to roll out the Business Portal to your organization.

We've had great success migrating some of our customers to the new Business Portal and would encourage our customers to opt-in to the new experience if you haven't already. Simply opt-in when you're ready via chat or get in touch with your Customer Success Manager.

Watch how Buckle Insurance streamlined intake and automate NDAs with the new Business Portal in the video below.

For LawVu Org Admins: You know your users require the right level of permissions so they can have access to their work and collaborate more effectively. But did you know we have improved and simplified your experience to make it happen?

The new update provides clearer explanations of what each permission does, and groups them into logical sections.

This update hasn't changed functionality for current users, but it’s worth a review of the updates and permissions changes if you’re planning to add new users or update permissions for existing ones.

For more detail on LawVu's permissions, refer to this Help article.

Files and documents are at the core of every legal team’s work. With the new and improved File Selector, you have faster access to the files you need when you need them.

Why it’s awesome:

Legacy filing systems often become a black box for contracts. Valuable information is trapped inside your contracts, but it is inaccessible until those contracts are digitized and stored in a central location. Manually scrolling through long documents to find relevant dates, names and values, and retyping text is a burdensome and resource-intensive task that significantly impacts your team’s efficiency and productivity.

Here are three ways using AI to import legacy contracts into LawVu can help you unlock valuable contract data faster, manage your contracts more efficiently and make better business decisions.

1. Manage renewals, notices and pricing more efficiently from within LawVu.

Leveraging machine learning to extract key values and clauses such as the contract name, counterparty, key dates and the term, renewal, and termination clauses from each contract automatically into LawVu creates a valuable foundation that can power an efficient CLM.

2. Easily generate reports to help the business make better decisions.

The first step to becoming a data-driven business is to create a single source of truth that your team can leverage to generate reports and share data across the organization. Without AI, the cost of extracting data from a large set of contracts would be prohibitive. Extracting and reporting on key legal clauses such as liability limits, assignment or termination rights and price increase rights can help teams control risk and spot opportunities.

3. Draft contracts more quickly with a searchable library of digitized contracts.

Using AI to import legacy contracts into LawVu makes it easy to extract and store data from each contract and makes it easier for your team to find and reuse language.
