Contract Risk Analyzer

For law firms that want to scale contract review without adding headcount

We build Contract Risk Analyzer platforms you own and resell to clients.
You're not just selling legal review — you're selling technology.

Your clients are asking for more than hourly contract review

General counsel at mid-market and enterprise companies are drowning in contracts. They need:

  • Faster turnaround (24-48 hours, not 2 weeks)
  • Consistent risk scoring across hundreds of agreements
  • Proactive flags on problematic clauses before they're signed

The Challenge

You can't hire fast enough to meet demand

The Cost

Junior associates doing initial review is expensive ($250-400/hour)

The Expectation

Clients increasingly expect "tech-enabled" solutions, not just legal advice

A Contract Risk Analyzer platform you own and resell

Apparatus builds a white-label Contract Risk Analyzer platform tailored to your practice areas (commercial, employment, vendor agreements, etc.).

What it does:

Automated risk scoring

Every contract gets a 0-100 risk score based on your firm's risk framework

Clause extraction

Identifies and flags problematic clauses (liability caps, indemnification, IP rights, etc.)

Redline generation

Suggests specific edits based on your firm's playbook

Comparison analysis

Side-by-side comparison of contract versions or against standard forms

How you use it:

1

Client uploads contract

to your branded platform (e.g., platform.yourfirm.com)

2

Platform analyzes

in minutes, flags high-risk areas, suggests edits

3

Your attorney reviews

platform output and provides strategic guidance (30 min instead of 5 hours)

4

Client gets better, faster service

at a premium price point

Result: You're not competing on rates. You're the only firm with proprietary contract intelligence.

How It Changes Your Business

Before Apparatus

Revenue Model:

$400/hour × 12 hours per contract = $4,800 per review

Scale Constraint:

1 partner + 2 associates = 40 contracts/month max (limited by associate capacity)

Competitive Position:

"We're experienced commercial attorneys with deep industry knowledge"

After Apparatus

Revenue Model:

$2,500 platform analysis + 2 hours attorney review ($800) = $3,300 per contract

OR $75k/year unlimited platform access + attorney review as needed

Scale Advantage:

1 partner + platform = 150+ contracts/month (platform does initial analysis, partner focuses on high-value guidance)

Competitive Position:

"We're the only firm with proprietary contract risk technology that delivers results in 24 hours"

CASE STUDY

Mid-Market Corporate Law Firm (45 attorneys)

Challenge

Losing RFPs to larger firms with "technology-enabled contract review." Associates spending 70% of time on low-value initial review work.

Solution

We built a Contract Risk Analyzer trained on the firm's 10 years of contract review work. Branded as "[Firm Name] Contract Intelligence."

Timeline

16 weeks from kickoff to client-ready platform

Results:

  • Won 5 new enterprise clients in first 6 months specifically citing the platform
  • Increased average engagement size from $85k to $140k (platform access fee + legal work)
  • Reduced associate review time by 65% (from 8 hours to 2.5 hours per contract)
  • Generated $380k in recurring platform revenue (Year 1: 6 clients @ $50k-75k each)
"We went from competing on hourly rates to competing on capability. Clients see us as a tech-forward firm now, not just another law firm. The platform paid for itself in the first four months."
