What is Draftwise?
Draftwise is an AI-powered contract drafting, review, and negotiation platform built specifically for lawyers and law firms. It leverages a firm's own historical deal data, precedents, and institutional knowledge to help attorneys draft higher-quality contracts faster. The platform acts as a personal drafting agent that drafts, reads, redlines, researches, and reasons like a top team member, applying the firm's unique preferences and standards to every contract.
Key features include Smart Draft integration within Microsoft Word for accessing firm-specific precedents, the Markup tool for automated contract review with AI-generated redlines, deep research across millions of documents in the firm's deal history, and EDGAR database access for benchmarking contract terms against market standards. The platform automatically generates playbooks from deal history, surfaces best-negotiated language, and provides easy-to-read tables comparing terms by client, counterparty, or industry.
Draftwise is designed for transactional law firms (especially Big Law and mid-sized firms), corporate legal departments, and contract attorneys handling M&A and contract-heavy practices. Top clients include Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, Gunderson Dettmer, and Mayne Wetherell. The platform is SOC 2 Type II & ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, and does not train AI models on client data.
