Docusign (Nasdaq: DOCU) today introduced a new AI-powered contract review assistant, designed to help legal teams review agreements faster and keep business moving through the entire agreement process. The new experience is powered by Iris, Docusign's agreement AI engine, and is built directly upon the Docusign Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform.
Contract review is one of the most important steps in the agreement process, but it's also one of the most time-consuming. Teams like legal, sales, procurement, and more often review contracts in a painstaking way, manually comparing terms against company policies and suggesting edits. Many organizations rely on legal playbooks to guide reviews, but building and maintaining those playbooks manually requires significant effort.
Docusign's new contract review assistant streamlines work while keeping legal experts in control. With this new experience users can:
By reducing manual work, legal teams can spend more time on negotiation, risk management, and business strategy.
"Contract review has traditionally been one of the biggest bottlenecks in how agreements move through a business," said Dmitri Krakovsky, Chief Product Officer at Docusign. "With the new contract review assistant, legal teams can quickly understand contracts, identify risks, and generate edits in seconds. Because it's built on the Docusign IAM platform, those actions flow directly into the broader agreement workflow, helping legal stay connected with sales, procurement, HR, and other teams across the company."
Because the new assistant is built on the Docusign IAM platform, contract review fits seamlessly into agreement workflows across the business — including legal, sales, procurement, and HR. Teams stay aligned as agreements move seamlessly from contract creation and review to signature and ongoing management.
Agreement management is increasingly recognized as an important driver of business performance. According to Deloitte's 2025 report on optimizing agreement management, over 70% of legal leaders believe that agreement management tools helped improve caseloads, get better legal outcomes in disputes, and increase sales team satisfaction scores. Docusign’s own legal team has seen similar benefits, significantly reducing the time spent on customer and vendor contract review — saving up to 15 minutes per NDA and cutting MSA negotiation time by 30 minutes to an hour.
With the introduction of the contract review assistant, Docusign continues expanding the capabilities of its Intelligent Agreement Management platform, helping organizations transform how agreements are created, reviewed, signed, and managed across the business.
These features are available to Docusign CLM and select IAM customers globally with support in English, French, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
