Why it matters

Above the Law is hosting a sponsored webinar on August 26 titled "The Next Evolution Of Contract Management: How Agentic AI Is Transforming In-House Legal And Legal Ops." The session will examine agentic AI systems—autonomous tools that handle multi-step contract workflows including intake, clause extraction, redlining, routing, and status tracking with minimal human oversight. Vendors participating in the discussion include Ironclad, KPMG, Thomson Reuters, LexisNexis, Sinequa, Sirion, and Leah.

The legal-tech market is shifting from traditional automation and copilot tools toward more autonomous agent workflows capable of reviewing routine agreements end-to-end and flagging only exceptions for human review. The specific capabilities and use cases to be discussed at the August 26 event have not been detailed publicly.

In-house legal teams evaluating contract management platforms should monitor this emerging category. Agentic AI vendors are positioning autonomous workflows as the next efficiency frontier, claiming the technology can reduce review time, increase consistency, and redirect legal resources toward negotiation and strategy. Attorneys considering these tools should assess whether the promised automation actually reduces bottlenecks in their specific workflows or simply shifts review burdens to exception handling.
