The Platform

Clauseflint reads what your team might miss.

The clause-extraction engine parses M&A diligence packets, commercial contracts, and vendor agreements at structural depth — not keyword search. Defined terms are resolved before flags are issued. Cross-references between sections are mapped. Every flagged clause is traceable to a specific page and line number, with configurable risk thresholds set by your counsel.

Redline output returns in Word format with tracked changes, direct to iManage or NetDocuments — no reformatting, no re-entry, no separate document management step.

  • Change-of-Control Detection
  • MAC Clause Flagging
  • Indemnity Threshold Alerts
  • Auto-redline Export
  • Audit-trail log for regulatory inquiry

Works with tools your legal team already uses

"I spent twelve years reviewing acquisition targets. The risk wasn't in the headline numbers — it was in the clause stack. Clauseflint is built to find what rushed review misses."

— Margaret Sullivan, CEO & Founder, Clauseflint

What legal teams say

"We ran Clauseflint on a 160-document manufacturing acquisition. The change-of-control sweep found three consent requirements we'd missed in a compressed four-day VDR review — buried in vendor agreements that weren't on anyone's priority list. Those were deal conditions."

Head of Corporate Development at an industrial holding company

"We handle thirty to forty inbound NDAs a month. The redline cycle used to run three to four days per agreement — email chain, Word document, paralegal review, associate second pass. Clauseflint returns the structured flag output within hours. We spend the time on judgment, not on hunting through the document."
