How AskSirion Makes First-Draft Contracting 90% Faster for Legal Teams

Legal teams still spend hours assembling first drafts—often the most resource-heavy and delay-prone stage in the contract lifecycle. While organizations invest in negotiation tools and post-signature analytics, the drafting starting point remains stuck in outdated, manual workflows.

In a legal services market nearing $1 trillion (Virtasant), most teams still draft contracts by copying old agreements or adapting rigid templates—an approach that fails to scale or reflect deal-specific nuances.

This is exactly where AskSirion steps in to change the game.
Sirion’s conversational AI combines natural language processing with deep contract intelligence to generate tailored, compliant first drafts—90% faster. The result: faster time to contracting without compromising legal precision.

The Contract Drafting Bottleneck: Why First Drafts Matter Most

Contract drafting is the foundation of every business relationship — and often, the biggest bottleneck for legal teams.

The traditional process is slow and manual. Lawyers assemble clauses from scratch, cross-reference internal policies, and check for regulatory compliance. For complex agreements, this can take hours — even days.

While AI contract generator tools can now produce legally sound drafts in minutes, they often fall short. Why? Because they lack deep understanding of:

• Company-specific risk guidelines
• Industry-specific language
• Strategic context and negotiation history

The problem intensifies at scale. Enterprises juggling thousands of contracts must strike a careful balance between speed and accuracy — a balance traditional methods rarely achieve.

This is where AskSirion steps in. Instead of relying on static templates or guesswork, it uses deep legal intelligence and contextual awareness to generate first drafts that are not only fast, but aligned with the organization’s risk, commercial, and compliance standards.

Sirion’s contract authoring approach is built on the belief that effective drafting is not just about assembling text — it’s about understanding context, precedent, and strategic intent. And that’s the foundation of AskSirion.

Meet AskSirion: Conversational AI That Speaks Your Legal Language

AskSirion introduces a fundamental shift in how legal teams approach drafting.

Forget dropdowns and rigid templates. With AskSirion, users simply describe what they need — in plain English — and the AI generates a compliant, context-aware first draft.

For example:

“Create a software licensing agreement with a three-year term and standard indemnification.”
“Draft a vendor agreement with enhanced data protection for our healthcare division.”

It’s powered by large language models (LLMs) trained on billions of text inputs — but it goes further. AskSirion adds layers of:

• Legal reasoning
• Company-specific knowledge
• Industry nuance

What truly sets it apart is its deep integration with the Sirion CLM platform. It doesn’t just guess — it pulls in real data from:

• Past agreements
• Approved clause libraries
• Negotiation outcomes

The result: faster drafts that reflect your standards, not generic templates.

How AskSirion Integrates Playbooks for Consistent, Compliant Drafting

Playbooks are legal’s strategic compass — capturing fallback positions, risk thresholds, and escalation rules. But most teams struggle to apply them consistently at the drafting stage.

Even with clear playbooks, manual interpretation leads to variability and missed guardrails.

AskSirion automates this. As it drafts, it:

• Applies playbook logic automatically
• Selects the right clauses based on risk scenarios
• Flags deviations for review
• Embeds escalation triggers as defined

Because this happens during drafting — not as a post-review step — every draft is compliant by default. And because the logic is built in, consistency doesn’t depend on who is drafting or how experienced they are.

Sirion’s contract negotiation stack already uses playbook-driven workflows. AskSirion simply extends that rigor upstream — to the very first draft.

The result? Reliable, repeatable, policy-aligned contracts from the start — with flexibility for deal-specific tweaks when needed.

Multilingual Support: Breaking Down Language Barriers in Global Contracting

Drafting across languages and jurisdictions has always been a challenge — one where even minor translation errors can lead to significant losses.

Traditional approaches involve manual translations, regional legal reviews, and duplicated effort — all of which slow down deal velocity and introduce risk.

AskSirion tackles this with built-in multilingual support. It can:

• Draft directly in multiple languages
• Translate standard templates without losing legal nuance
• Align with jurisdiction-specific regulations and business norms

And it’s more than just language. Research shows that multilingual LLMs outperform English-only models in complex reasoning tasks. AskSirion uses this edge to ensure:

• Higher semantic accuracy
• More culturally relevant phrasing
• Stronger compliance across regions

For global legal teams, this means one unified drafting process — consistent everywhere, customizable where needed.

Custom-Tuned to Your Legal Playbook

AskSirion goes beyond generic AI tools by learning your organization’s specific risk appetite, clause preferences, and business goals.

Here’s how it adapts to your legal DNA:

• Clause and language preferences: Learns from past agreements, approved templates, and legal feedback.
• Strategic positioning: Understands company policies, deal contexts, and industry nuances.
• Continuous improvement: AI gets smarter over time as it analyzes successful negotiations and updates to your guidelines.
• Flexible configuration: Legal teams can tweak risk thresholds or update fallback positions without complex retooling.

This deep customization ensures every draft reflects your standards—automatically.
