Three Ways to Draft

Start from Whatever You Have

Whether it's a prior deal, a term sheet, or a combination of sources - ContractKen builds a review-ready first draft.

Upload Your Best Prior Contract

Start with a precedent from a similar deal. ContractKen extracts the structure, clause language, and commercial terms - then generates a fresh draft aligned with your current playbook standards.

If the precedent is stale, ContractKen identifies outdated clauses and replaces them with current language from your clause library.

Every clause is traceable. You can see which parts came from your precedent, which from the clause library, and which were flagged for playbook deviations.
Upload precedent to draft contract

Convert a Term Sheet into a Full Agreement

Upload a 1-page term sheet or LOI. ContractKen maps each commercial point to the appropriate legal clauses - expanding 8 bullet points into a 30-page agreement with proper legal language from your clause library.

The AI goes further - it infers what's needed based on deal type, jurisdiction, and your playbook requirements.

A single line like "Standard IP provisions" expands into 4-5 interconnected clauses: IP ownership, license grants, background IP, improvements, and work-for-hire language - all pulled from your preferred positions.
Convert term sheet to full contract

Combine Multiple Sources into One Draft

Real deals involve multiple documents. Upload a precedent, a counterparty's markup from a prior deal, a term sheet, and your playbook - ContractKen reconciles conflicts and produces a unified first draft.

When sources conflict, ContractKen picks the strongest position per your playbook and shows you an audit trail of which source each clause came from.

Sources for each clause are tracked: "Section 4.2 - from your 2024 Acme precedent. Section 7.1 - from Clause Library (Preferred Position). Section 9 - new, added per playbook requirement."

The Problem Nobody Talks About

Your Go-To Precedent Is Probably Outdated

Every firm has a "go-to" contract they keep reusing. But the legal landscape has changed. ContractKen catches the gaps.

Your SaaS Agreement - last updated 2021
2022
5 new US state privacy laws enacted. Your precedent's data protection clause references only CCPA. Missing CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, and UCPA compliance language.
2023
AI governance clauses became standard. Your precedent has no provisions for AI usage, model training restrictions, or automated decision-making transparency - now expected in enterprise SaaS agreements.
2024
Cyber incident notification standards tightened. Your 30-day breach notification window is now misaligned with SEC's 4-day requirement and multiple state laws requiring 72-hour notification.
2025
Your playbook was updated 3 times. New preferred positions for limitation of liability, new IP carve-outs, updated force majeure language - none reflected in this precedent.
ContractKen modernizes your precedent as it drafts - inserting missing clauses, updating stale language, aligning with your current playbook.

Your Precedents Contain Your Most Sensitive Strategies

Your precedent contracts encode years of negotiation strategy - preferred positions, commercial terms, deal structures. The Moderation Layer ensures this institutional knowledge is protected when AI processes your documents.

Your institutional knowledge stays institutional.
