Feature Announcement: Contract Compare

If you're an M&A professional, you're probably familiar with reviewing large document stacks that are 99% identical. Chances are high the seller based documents like customer agreements and employment contracts on a template. Your goal? Finding clauses that deviate from the template and could impact the deal.

Unless you like reading 100 agreements that are nearly identical, we've created a solution called Contract Compare. From now on, you can upload the template and let Jurimesh compare the relevant documents against it. What used to take days now takes minutes.

When “good enough” becomes the default

Most sellers use templates for their commercial relationships. Customer agreements follow the same structure. Employment contracts use identical baseline terms. Makes sense for running a business, but it drains valuable time during due diligence.

When there are 100 customer agreements in the data room, reviewing all of them manually means reading identical clauses 100 times. At €300 per hour for external counsel, that's expensive. So you make a call. Review the top 10 customers by revenue and accept that you might miss some risks in the contracts you didn't review.

Contract Compare changes this. Now you can review all 100 contracts because the actual work takes minutes instead of days.

How Contract Compare works

Contract Compare works in three steps.

First, designate your baseline. Use the seller's official contract template or the first contract you reviewed as your reference point.

Second, select all similar contracts in the data room. Not just the top 10 customers. All of them.

Third, Jurimesh compares every clause from the selected documents with the template clauses and shows you where the documents differ from the template.

In less than 5 minutes you get a complete overview of everything that deviates from the template.

Full coverage with zero redundancy

Traditional review often means choosing between thoroughness and cost. Review everything and spend days on it. Or review a sample, like the top 10 agreements, and accept the risk of missing something.

Contract Compare removes that tradeoff. You can now review every contract in the data room because the work takes minutes instead of days.

You immediately get a complete overview of all deviations, instead of forcing yourself through hundreds of contracts. You catch consent requirements buried in smaller customer contracts. You identify liability modifications across your entire contract base. You find termination provisions regardless of which contracts you initially flagged as important.

Complete coverage without the redundant work. That’s what contract comparison makes possible.

Contract Compare is now live for all Jurimesh users.
