What is contract authoring software?
Contract authoring software helps teams draft contracts from pre-approved templates, clauses and playbooks instead of starting from scratch. Aavenir auto-fills templates with request data, offers primary, alternate and fallback clauses, and uses AI to suggest terms by contract type, geography and value.
We templatize contract creation. You draft in minutes.
Pre-approved templates
Draft from templates, clause libraries and legal playbooks. Fill in the key fields and auto-draft simple contracts.
Self-service first drafts
Business users draft routine contracts confidently, dragging in primary, alternate or fallback clauses from the library.
AI-assisted authoring
AI suggests terms and clauses based on contract type, geography and value, and flags deviations from approved language.
Dynamic templates
Templates auto-populate with data from ServiceNow records and custom auto-fill fields, so nothing is retyped.
Author in Microsoft Word
Author and edit in Word through the Office 365 integration, with changes synced back to the contract record.
