The Problem
An overlooked sentence can have serious consequences .
Contract negotiations tie up your best people. Track Changes finds words, but not shifts in meaning. Your lawyers should be able to focus on strategically important issues, not routine clauses.
| 01
Meanings shift imperceptibly
“Limited to annual revenue” and “limited to the contract value” look harmless in Track Changes. In economic terms, there is a world of difference between the two.
| 02
Negotiations are dragging on
Every round of negotiations is on hold while we wait for the legal department or the outside law firm. With three negotiations going on at the same time, manual review is no longer an option.
| 03
Cloud AI is not an option
Sensitive supplier terms, exclusive agreements, and prices are not exempt from a U.S. cloud-based AI. The GDPR doesn’t make it any easier.
What KOALaw Can Do
Three use cases.
One tool.
KOALaw covers the three comparison operations that currently take weeks of manual work.
The analysis is more precise, faster, and backed by traceable source references.
Clause contrary to your standard.
Select a section of the contract. KOALaw checks it against your own clause library or standard template and highlights any semantic discrepancies.
The liability clause ultimately imposes stricter limitations than your draft. It completely excludes consequential damages, whereas your standard clause covers intentional acts and gross negligence.
What has really changed?
Compare two versions of the same contract. KOALaw also identifies changes that have not been marked as “Track Changes” and explains their business implications.
In the section on force majeure, the wording was softened, even though the text is entirely new. This gives the supplier more leeway than in the previous version.
A direct comparison of contracts on the same topic.
Compare several contracts with similar purposes. KOALaw shows you where they differ in terms of meaning and risk—even when the wording is completely different.
You are negotiating with two suppliers at the same time. At first glance, both framework agreements look similar. KOALaw shows you that Supplier A limits liability to annual revenue, while Supplier B limits it only to the order value. With Supplier A, penalties are capped, while with Supplier B, they are unlimited.
KOALaw in Action
Logically structured, intuitive to use.
Here you can see how KOALaw is used to compare two versions of terms and conditions and generate a negotiation proposal based on that comparison.
Who is KOALaw designed for?
For the people who actually negotiate contracts.
KOALaw was developed for the departments where contracts are drafted.
The software supports purchasing, IT, sales, and management
even for companies without their own legal department.
Secure Supplier Contracts
Negotiates supplier contracts, reviews framework agreements, and reviews confidentiality agreements. Often without a legal background and without an in-house legal department readily available.
Control over Sensitive Data
Responsible for SaaS contracts, data processing agreements, and interface agreements. Requires a controlled AI solution in which sensitive data remains within the company.
Faster Contract Closures
Concludes major account contracts based on the customer’s contract templates. When time is of the essence, hidden risks and critical clauses must be identified quickly.
Strategic Control
Signs contracts and assumes responsibility for legal and financial risks. Requires a clear overview of hidden risks in the active contract portfolio.
Security & Data Sovereignty
Your contracts will not leave your home.
At KOALaw, GDPR compliance isn’t just a marketing claim—it’s a core feature of the software’s architecture. The software can be run entirely on-premises. Contract data never ends up in a third-party cloud.
On-Premises Operation
We install KOALaw on a compact server right at your location, making it easy to integrate into your IT infrastructure. If you already use your own cloud solution, we can integrate KOALaw into that as well.
Your local language model—versatile and adaptable
KOALaw provides you with a local language model that you can use for more than just contract analysis—for example, as an internal knowledge base or for other AI services within your company.
A Practical Expansion of Existing Systems
KOALaw enhances your existing document management system with AI-powered review. You can continue using the tools you already use today to store and manage your contracts. KOALaw builds on that foundation and makes your documents analyzable.
Open Source Foundation
KOALaw relies on powerful open-source models. We update KOALaw as soon as new versions become available. This ensures you always have access to the latest AI technology.
Comparison
Why not just ChatGPT?
You have several options: manual review, cloud-based LLMs like ChatGPT, and traditional contract lifecycle management tools. Each option has its limitations.
| Property | Manual | Cloud LLM | Classic CLM | KOALaw |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Comparison of Content | limited | yes | no | yes |
| Data remains in-house | yes | no | depending on | yes |
| References | manually | uncertain | limited | directly in the contract |
| End-to-End Process | Pause between steps | outside the process | administration only | seamlessly |
| On-Premises Operation | possible | rare | in part | by default |
