The launch of the LinkSquares Agentic Platform as well as improvements to Finalize and Analyze

This quarter marked a major milestone for LinkSquares and CLM as a whole with the launch of the LinkSquares Agentic Platform, the first agentic CLM platform designed to help legal teams move beyond simply managing contracts to actively accelerating business outcomes.

Whether you're drafting agreements, researching contract obligations, answering business questions, or uncovering insights across your contracts, the LinkSquares Agentic Platform helps businesses move in agreement, and we’re incredibly excited for our customers to reap the benefits.

AI Legal Assistant: Close Contracts Faster with AI That Reviews, Redlines, and Explains Every Decision

Legal teams are expected to review agreements quickly without sacrificing accuracy, consistency, or control. The AI Legal Assistant helps teams move faster by reviewing contracts, applying edits, answering legal questions, and explaining every recommendation, all within a single workflow.

Key benefits include:

  • Turn hours of redlining into minutes by applying edits, enforcing playbooks, and generating suggested language automatically.
  • Research with confidence using citation-backed answers grounded in trusted legal and government sources.
  • Draft faster without sacrificing quality by generating agreements and clauses using natural language prompts.
  • Maintain control and reduce risk with custom rules, prompts, and approved language that align outputs to company policies.
  • Understand the "why" behind every recommendation with transparent explanations and fully traceable changes.

Whether you're reviewing a third-party agreement, generating language, or researching a legal question, the AI Legal Assistant helps legal teams move faster while keeping every decision transparent and verifiable.

The AI Legal Assistant is available within the LinkSquares Platform as well as our Microsoft Word Add-In.

Contract Intelligence: Turn Contracts Into Answers. Just Ask.

Contracts contain critical business information, but too often that information is buried in PDFs, scattered across systems, and difficult to access when stakeholders need answers. Contract Intelligence transforms your contract repository into an accessible source of business intelligence, helping teams search, understand, and act on every contract in seconds.

Key benefits include:

  • Ask questions in natural language and receive precise answers without relying on complex searches or manual review.
  • Turn unstructured contracts into actionable data with AI-powered extraction of key provisions, obligations, and metadata.
  • Find critical information faster by searching across your entire contract portfolio using intent-based AI, not just keywords.
  • Surface risk before it becomes a problem by identifying renewal deadlines, liabilities, penalties, and compliance concerns.
  • Move from insight to action with clear answers, recommended next steps, and the context needed to make decisions faster.

Whether you're responding to a business request, preparing for a renewal, reviewing obligations, or investigating risk across multiple agreements, Contract Intelligence helps your team spend less time chasing contracts and more time using them.

  • Workflows: Automated routing and agent-driven execution that intelligently manage approvals and revisions.
  • Libraries: Where your business rules and common requests live, ensuring consistency and continuity.
  • Work Management: One place to capture, prioritize, assign, and track work across the business.

LinkSquares Classic (Finalize and Analyze)

While the launch of the LinkSquares Agentic Platform represented a major step forward, we also continued investing in the tools customers rely on every day within Finalize and Analyze. This quarter's enhancements focused on reducing administrative work, improving visibility, and helping teams move agreements through the contract lifecycle more efficiently.

New Smart Value: Total Contract Value

Understanding the financial impact of agreements has often required manual calculations, spreadsheet tracking, or separate reporting processes. Total Contract Value automatically captures the full economic value of an agreement, making it easier to understand contractual commitments across your portfolio.

  • Capture contract economics automatically with extraction powered by LinkAI.
  • Reduce manual calculations and data entry required to determine agreement value.
  • Gain greater visibility into the financial impact of your agreements at scale.

Note: This is for customers with Restated Agreements activated within their LinkSquares instance.

Important for existing customers: If you already use a custom field for Total Contract Value, LinkSquares will automatically leverage that existing field. The AI-extracted value will populate behind the scenes while your pre-defined value continues to display, consistent with existing Smart Value precedence rules. For customers without an existing Total Contract Value field, LinkSquares will automatically create one.

Approval Task Rejections with Comments

Previously approvers have not had the option to reject a task within LinkSquares Finalize. With Approval Task Rejections with Comments, approvers can now reject a request and provide context behind that rejection, cleaning out open requests and maintaining communication within Finalize, rather than having to navigate to chat, email, or CRM.

More information on this feature can be found here.

 

Agreement Creation from the Word Add-In*

Switching between systems slows contract creation and interrupts drafting workflows. By creating agreements directly from the Word Add-In, users can create and launch new agreements directly from Microsoft Word and sync those agreements back to Finalize.

  • Faster Contract Creation: Start new agreements without leaving Word.
  • Reduced Context Switching: Move directly into Finalize workflows from the drafting environment.
  • Increased Efficiency: Accelerate agreement initiation and workflow completion.

*This will launch in early July. Contact your Customer Success Manager to learn more.

Restated Agreements: Improved UI and New Subsidiary Tracking

As agreements evolve through amendments, restatements, and related documents, understanding how contracts connect can become increasingly complex. This quarter, we've enhanced Restated Agreements to provide greater visibility into agreement relationships and more precise organization across corporate entities.

Key benefits include:

  • Visibility into how agreements were linked with updated visualizations that clearly identify whether links were created manually, AI-assisted, or automatically generated by LinkSquares.
  • More precise agreement organization through subsidiary-level tracking, allowing teams to group and manage agreements based on the specific entities conducting business.
  • Faster contract review and analysis by providing clearer context around related agreements and corporate structures.

Dynamic Tasks & Tags from Tokens

Creating automated workflows has often required duplicate configuration across templates, increasing administrative overhead and making ongoing maintenance difficult.

Dynamic Tasks & Tags from Tokens eliminates unnecessary duplication by allowing tasks and tags to work directly from token values. Now you can configure once and automate across every agreement, reducing intake complexity and accelerating workflows.

Single-Select Mapped Terms in Analyze to Finalize

Managing contract data across systems should not require constant manual updates. Single-Select Mapped Terms now keep Analyze and Finalize aligned automatically, ensuring template options stay current as your contract data evolves.

  • Reduce manual administration by eliminating repetitive updates across systems.
  • Improve data quality with consistent values between Analyze and Finalize.
  • Scale processes with less effort as templates automatically stay up to date.
  • Increase confidence in workflow automation by ensuring automations reflect the latest mapped fields.

New Statuses: Business and Legal Review

We've added two new review statuses in Finalize: Business Review and Legal Review, making it easier to understand where the agreement is within the review cycle.
