Session Overview
Contracts Are Costing You More Than You Think: Where Legal Teams Lose Time, Money and Control — and How Technology Is Changing the Equation
For most businesses, contracts are among their most valuable assets, yet the processes used to create, negotiate and manage them are often fragmented, manual and surprisingly costly.
The true cost of contracting isn’t limited to legal spend. It shows up in hours lost searching for information, lengthy approval cycles, missed renewals and obligations, inconsistent risk positions, revenue leakage, and highly skilled legal professionals spending too much of their time on administration rather than strategic work.
For in-house legal teams already being asked to do more with less, simply working harder is no longer the answer.
This session explores where value is being lost across the contract lifecycle and how technology, automation and AI are changing what is possible for in-house legal teams. We’ll look beyond the AI hype to practical applications: streamlining contract intake, accelerating drafting and review, enabling business self-service, automating approvals, identifying contractual risk, and turning signed contracts into actionable data rather than documents that disappear into a repository.
We’ll also explore the opportunity for Legal to move beyond being perceived as a bottleneck or support function and become a more proactive, data-driven business partner, with greater visibility into risk, obligations and commercial opportunities across the organisation.
Attendees will leave with practical ideas for identifying inefficiencies in their own contracting processes, understanding where AI and automation can deliver meaningful value, and rethinking what effective contract management could look like in the modern in-house legal function.
Three Tangible Learnings
Learning 1: Identify the hidden costs in your contracting process
Understand where inefficient contracting processes create unnecessary legal spend, lost time, revenue leakage, missed obligations and increased risk.
Learning 2: Understand where AI and automation can deliver real value
Cut through the hype and explore practical ways technology can streamline contract intake, drafting, review, approvals and post-signature management.
Learning 3: Transform Legal from reactive to strategic
Learn how better contract data and visibility can help in-house legal teams reduce administrative burden, proactively manage risk and become more data-driven, commercially focused business partners.
