Legal & Contract Workflows

Guardyx for Legal & Contract Workflows

Let legal agents draft, review, and act — without committing the company to something nobody signed off on.

The scenario

AI agents are showing up in legal and contract work. They review and redline contracts, answer questions from the clause library, draft NDAs and vendor agreements, and flag risk. In some setups, they also send documents out or route them for signature.

What can go wrong

In legal, a wrong move is a binding or disclosing one. An agent fires off a contract to a counterparty with the wrong terms, or quietly approves language that waives a protection you count on. It shares privileged or confidential material with the wrong person. It signs the company up for an obligation, a price, or a liability no attorney ever looked at. A bad draft is annoying — but these actions carry legal weight, and they’re really hard to walk back.

Who owns this problem

Your General Counsel and legal ops team own this day-to-day. Your CISO is on the hook for keeping privileged and confidential material from slipping out through an automated channel.

What it looks like deployed

Guardyx sits in front of every action a legal agent takes. Reading, drafting, and internal analysis? Go right ahead. But anything with external or binding effect — sending a document out, approving non-standard terms, routing for signature, reaching into a privileged data store — gets checked against policy and held for an attorney before it happens. All of it, approved or blocked, gets logged.

Legal agent calls a tool. Guardyx checks the action against your policy before it runs: in-policy actions send document against counterparties & document systems; exceptions hold for attorney review. Either way the decision is recorded.

What you're covering

You get peace of mind that nothing with legal weight goes out the door without a human. Your team doesn’t have to re-read every routine draft to be sure. Guardyx draws the line between “fine to automate” and “get a lawyer on this,” so your attorneys spend their time only where the real risk is.

How it fits your existing tools

Approvals land in the Guardyx portal, Slack, or email. Every decision is captured as an auditor-ready evidence pack you can export for compliance and records. You decide what counts as non-standard terms, which document types always need a review, and how privileged material gets handled. Exceptions are handled cleanly, so the everyday stuff isn’t stuck waiting.

Example controls
