The AI integrated in Contracts empowers customers to leverage pre-built models, train their own custom models and import results from external models to transform contracts into structured data. Based on their subscription plan, RelativityOne customers will have access to up to 1,000 free documents to start using Contracts at no cost.
“We are excited to start using Relativity Contracts to expand our firm’s technology capabilities,” said Kate Jansons Johns, Manager of Knowledge & Practice Support Services at Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP. “Relativity Contracts will enable our transactional attorneys to enhance their due diligence workflow with the document organization and analysis our litigation attorneys have come to rely on with RelativityOne.”

“Already, Relativity Contracts has allowed us to create value and efficiencies for our clients on their contract reviews and remediations,” said Michael Willis, Partner at PwC. “By automating processes and streamlining workflows we have been able to reduce the time it takes to get our hands on the key value data within large data sets. It’s exciting looking forward to how we can continue to leverage this technology within the contracts world.”
Investing in Generative AI, with Product Launch Later this Year
In addition to the AI leveraged in Contracts, Relativity continues to research and invest in the latest AI technology, with an increased focus on generative AI. The company is actively piloting GPT-4 through the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service in collaboration with select customers, evaluating the performance of these models in investigation and litigation use cases. The initial results are very promising and Relativity is committed to approaching AI innovation responsibly, underscored by its AI Principles announced earlier this year at Relativity Fest London.
Relativity’s GPT-4 pilot program provides law firms like ours a chance to learn and experiment with new AI technology in a secure and responsible way, and our participation has helped accelerate future planning for our practice.
