AI legal and contract tools: 32 tools for office work
Updated · By Robert Breen
AI legal contract tools are software that use AI to draft contracts from your templates, flag risky clauses, compare versions and research case law with citations. Contracts carry risk in the details, and reviewing them line by line is slow and expensive. These tools speed up the work of lawyers and contract owners; they do not replace legal advice.

Frequently asked questions
- What are the best AI legal and contract tools for work?
- The best one is the one that fits the job you want to hand off and the apps you already use. Widely used AI legal and contract tools in this directory include Harvey, Spellbook, CoCounsel and Lexis+ AI. Shortlist two or three, check where your data goes, and test them on a real but low-risk task.
- Are there free AI legal and contract tools?
- Yes. 7 of the 32 AI legal and contract tools listed here are free or have a free plan, including Dropbox Sign, Genie AI, Legly and BoldSign. Free plans have limits, so check the vendor’s pricing page before you roll one out to a team.
- How do I get my AI tool listed in AI legal and contract tools?
- Listing is free. Email rbreen@ynteractive.com with the tool’s name, website, a one-line description, the category and a contact; the submit page explains the criteria and the review time.
- Can AI draft a contract?
- AI can draft a first version from your template and your deal terms, and contract AI software can fill clauses from a playbook. A lawyer or the contract owner should still read and approve every contract before anyone signs it.
- What does contract AI software do?
- Most contract AI software does three jobs: drafting from templates, reviewing a contract against your rules to flag risky or missing clauses, and tracking contracts after signing, such as renewal dates.
- Is it safe to put a contract into an AI tool?
- Only on a plan and tool your company has approved for confidential documents. Check whether the tool trains on your data and where it is stored. The contract red flags lesson uses a made-up contract so you can practice safely.
- What are contract review AI tools?
- Contract review AI tools read a contract and flag clauses that differ from your standard terms or carry risk, such as auto-renewal, liability caps or payment terms, often with a suggested edit. Spellbook, for example, works inside Microsoft Word. Practice on a made-up contract in the contract red flags lesson, and have a lawyer approve anything you sign.
- Which contract tools work for both legal and procurement teams?
- Usually a contract lifecycle management (CLM) tool. Legal uses it to draft and review against a playbook; procurement uses it to request, approve and track supplier contracts and renewal dates in one place. Ask each vendor for a trial with one of your real templates, and check how easily a non-lawyer can request and find a contract.
- Can AI review a contract?
- Yes, as a first pass. It can summarize a contract, flag clauses such as auto-renewal, indemnification or liability caps, and compare it with your standard terms. It can miss context or misread a clause, so a lawyer or the contract owner makes the final call.
- What is the best legal contract review software?
- It depends on who reviews. Lawyers who draft in Microsoft Word often look at tools that work inside Word, such as Spellbook. In-house teams with many contracts look at contract lifecycle tools such as Ironclad or Juro. A small business reviewing the odd vendor contract can start with a general assistant and the contract red flags lesson, then have a lawyer check anything that matters.
