Technology Stack
Project Overview
At LexCheck startup, I contributed to the development of an AI-driven contract review platform that revolutionizes the way businesses handle contract negotiations. The platform seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Word, allowing users to review, redline, and finalize contracts with AI-powered insights while maintaining complete control over legal language. By leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs), LexCheck provides instant contract analysis, identifies problematic clauses, and applies preferred negotiation positions automatically, streamlining the contract lifecycle.
My work focused on enhancing contract lifecycle management more importantly known as LexCheck insights, ensuring real-time contract redlining, creating dashboards for different types of users like Contract Dashboard, Playbook Editor Dashboard, User Dashboard, Admin Dashboard. The system improves efficiency by eliminating manual legal bottlenecks, reducing risk, and enabling businesses to close deals faster and more accurately. With a strong emphasis on security, all contract data is AES-256 encrypted, ensuring compliance with legal industry standards.
This project reinforced my expertise in LLM-powered AI applications, secure document processing, contract automation, and enterprise-grade integrations, further strengthening my ability to build scalable, AI-driven solutions that optimize business workflows.
Domain and Industry Context
LexCheck operates in the legal technology (LegalTech) and AI-driven contract automation industry, which is transforming how businesses handle contract review, negotiation, and risk management. Traditionally, contract reviews have been a time-consuming, manual process requiring extensive legal expertise, often leading to delays in deal closures and increased operational costs. However, with advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Large Language Models (LLMs), and automation, the contract lifecycle management (CLM) industry is evolving toward faster, more accurate, and cost-effective solutions.
By integrating LLM-powered AI contract review directly into Microsoft Word, LexCheck eliminates inefficiencies in contract negotiations, reducing the reliance on manual legal reviews while ensuring compliance with best practices. The platform automates redlining, applies preferred legal positions, and minimizes contractual risks, enabling legal, sales, and procurement teams to accelerate deal closures and enhance accuracy.
By developing a website that effectively review the contracts, we’re not just creating a SaaS Platform – we’re providing a window into the future of contract reviewing technology. Our goal was to design an online experience that reflects the sophistication and effectiveness of LexCheck product, helping potential customers understand the transformative power of AI-driven Contract Reviewing solutions.
