Inhouse-focused LawVu has launched Lens, an AI contract analysis tool that gives lawyers visibility across a company’s ‘entire contract portfolio, surfacing risks and obligations before they become problems’. It’s all part of the New Zealand-based platform’s LegalOS operating system roll-out.

M&A and audit readiness: identifying contracts that require consent, allow termination, or impose new obligations on a change of control.

Incident, disruption, and regulatory response: pinpointing customer commitments at risk after an event such as a port closure, data breach, or change in law, and where delays or non-compliance could lead to damages, penalties, or termination.…
