And it&#x27;s ludicrously <i>obvious</i> how much extra potential work there is for legal contractors. Right now there are companies turning down revenue-generating opportunities because the time&#x2F;cost of scrutinising proposed contract changes isn&#x27;t worth it. Not to mention a huge number of agreements done on a &quot;standard contract, no exceptions&quot; basis for the same reasons. If automation allows these to be turned around in hours, for a fraction of the price, the variation and complexity in standard contracts is going to multiply exponentially.<p>Even if the process of checking the contracts is fully automated, there&#x27;s still a role for an associate&#x2F;paralegal level lawyer (overseeing many more contracts than their predecessors) to answer followup questions, because their clients aren&#x27;t going to navigate through case law summaries to get a more thorough explanation of non-standard term 3.1b&#x27;s applicability to their specific situation if they can still phone somebody with a law degree.
