# What will AGI do for Contract Review Backlog?

## Overview

In-house legal teams and procurement departments face a continuous bottleneck when processing high-volume routine agreements like NDAs, MSAs, and DPAs. Business units demand rapid turnaround to close deals, but legal professionals must manually read every page to identify non-standard clauses and unacceptable liability terms. This creates a structural delay where revenue-generating activities wait on legal capacity.

The backlog persists because legacy contract lifecycle management software operates as a filing cabinet and routing engine rather than a cognitive reviewer. While these systems track signatures and renewal dates, the actual evaluation of third-party paper against a company legal playbook remains entirely manual. Lawyers spend hours comparing incoming redlines against static guidelines, unable to scale their output without adding headcount.

Surges in contract volume at the end of financial quarters break this manual process completely. Legal teams often abandon exhaustive review for rapid skimming, increasing the risk of accepting unfavorable indemnification clauses or data privacy obligations just to push deals through the pipeline.
