Frequently Asked Questions

How much does contract review automation cost for law firms?
Most contract review automation projects for law firms are delivered on a fixed-price basis, starting from approximately $3,500 for essential tasks like automated clause identification or initial draft comparisons. The final cost depends on factors such as the number of document types, integration with your DMS (e.g., NetDocuments, Aderant), and the complexity of the review logic required.
Is there a monthly fee after the initial build?
No, Byzantium AI does not charge ongoing monthly fees for our automation builds. Your firm owns the implemented automation workflows outright; any ongoing costs would only arise from third-party software subscriptions, like an AI document processing API, which we would clearly outline upfront.
What is included in the free systems audit?
Our complimentary systems audit involves a deep dive into your firm's current contract review processes, from document intake to final approval. We analyze your existing document management system, identify repetitive manual tasks like clause extraction or redline comparison, and map out specific automation opportunities tailored to your practice areas.
How quickly does this pay for itself?
For many law firms, contract review automation achieves ROI within 3-6 months by significantly reducing billable hours spent on repetitive tasks. For example, automating the initial review of a 50-page NDA, which might take a junior associate 3 hours, can free up that time for higher-value legal work, directly impacting your firm's profitability.
