More work, no more people
Understaffing is the top barrier for chief legal officers, and 70% now also oversee functions like risk and compliance (ACC Chief Legal Officers Survey, 2025).
Roles · Legal
Every contract drafted, signed and followed up. Within your mandate.
Legal is asked to do more without more people. Paragraf runs contracts from template to signature to follow-up, with your playbook built in, so the business gets answers and you keep control.

The pressure
More contracts. The same team.
Value leaks after signature
Weak contract management erodes on average 8.6% of contract value (WorldCC and Deloitte). Missed deadlines, auto-renewals and obligations nobody follows up.
Contracts live everywhere
Inboxes, shared drives and the e-signing tool. More than half of legal leaders name fragmented data and poorly connected tools as a barrier (ACC and Everlaw, 2025).
How it works
Example: a supplier sends their own contract.
Step 1 of 4
Checked against your playbook.
The contract is compared with your standard positions. Each deviation is shown with the clause it comes from.

Step 2 of 4
Decide within your mandate.
Accept, change or escalate. The playbook says who may approve what, so routine changes don't need a lawyer.

Step 3 of 4
Signed in the same place.
The final version goes out for electronic signature. No new copy in another tool.

Obligations get owners and dates.
Renewal dates, notice periods and duties become tasks for the right people, long before they are due.

Works with or without Luis. Your team can review against the playbook by hand. Luis does the first pass and shows the clause every suggestion is based on.
Check yourself
Five questions. Two minutes.
Answer honestly. You get one recommended place to start. Nothing is saved or sent.
Where most teams like yours start
Follow up what you've signed
Most legal teams start with the contracts they already have: one place, with every obligation owned and dated.
Before you decide
Make it a safe decision.
- Start with one contract typeFor example supplier agreements, with acceptance criteria agreed up front.
- We import what you haveExisting contracts, templates and positions come with you.
- A source on every suggestionWhen Luis suggests something, you see the clause it is based on.
- Confidential stays confidentialEU hosting or your own servers. Permissions on every contract.
AI makes things up. We can't risk that.
Agreed. Every suggestion shows the clause it is based on, and a person decides. And nothing depends on AI: the playbook, templates and follow-up all work by hand.
The business won't use another tool.
They don't have to learn one. They fill in a form, get a contract from an approved template and sign by link. Legal sees everything.
Our contracts are spread across drives and inboxes.
That is where most teams start. We import them into one repository, with parties, dates and obligations picked out so you can check them.
What about confidentiality?
Data is hosted in the EU, or on your own servers with local AI. Permissions apply to every contract, sensitive data is masked on the server and every action is logged. See the Trust center.
For the buying group
What you can tell the others.
You rarely decide alone. One foundation means each colleague gets their own part, and everyone sees the same truth.
- To ProcurementSupplier contracts run from request to signature to renewal in one flow.
- To ComplianceContract obligations become controls, with evidence attached.
- To the CFOFewer missed renewals and penalties: value that otherwise leaks after signature.
- To managementA clear view of contract risk, without asking Legal for a report.
- To ITOne repository instead of drives, inboxes and a separate signing tool.
