Early Access — India Legal Workflows
Contract review that
works the way lawyers do.
Covenant surfaces clause-level risks, flags deviations from standard templates, and structures your review — without replacing your judgment.
The Problem
The bottleneck is real.
It compounds daily.
Experienced lawyers should be advising, not spending three hours on a routine NDA. The current workflow is neither efficient nor risk-free.
01
Time-intensive review cycles
Reviewing a 40-page commercial agreement clause by clause takes hours of focused attention — time that is billed to clients, but rarely enjoyed. Repetition compounds fatigue.
02
Deviations that slip through
Counterparty papers often shift standard positions on indemnity, limitation of liability, or termination. Without a structured comparison, these changes get missed under deadline pressure.
03
Junior leverage that doesn't scale
First passes done by associates require significant senior review time anyway. Without structured tooling, the quality of the first pass varies widely — and correction costs more than doing it right the first time.
04
No institutional memory in review
Each engagement starts from scratch. There’s no systematic check against your firm’s preferred positions, past negotiations, or jurisdiction-specific risk flags. Context lives in people’s heads.
The Product
Structured review.
Not automation.
Covenant is a contract review assistant for legal teams. It reads the contract before you do — and presents you with a structured, clause-level view of what needs your attention.

Review Summary
How It Works
Three steps. No new tools to learn.
01
Upload the contract
Drag in a Word document, PDF, or paste the contract text. Covenant accepts standard formats — the same files already in your inbox.
02
Covenant analyses each clause
The system reads the contract clause by clause — identifying risk language, comparing positions against standard templates, and flagging deviations with context.
03
Review the structured output
You receive a clause-level risk summary with flags, plain-English notes, and deviation highlights. Review what matters, skip what doesn’t.
Capabilities
Built for
legal precision.
Clause-level risk flags
Each clause is evaluated individually with a risk signal — not a document-level score. You know exactly where the exposure is, not just that it exists.
Deviation detection
Covenant compares counterparty language against your standard templates — MSAs, NDAs, employment, vendor agreements — and highlights where positions have moved.
Plain-English explanations
Risk flags come with plain-language context — why a clause matters, what the standard position typically is, and what the deviation might mean in practice.
Review validation summary
Every review produces a structured summary — total clauses, flagged items, deviations, and high-risk provisions. A clear brief before you open the document.
India-specific legal context
Built with Indian contract law and practice in mind — Companies Act, SEBI regulations, standard Indian boilerplate — not a generic international template.
Confidential by design
Contract content is processed for review and is not stored, trained on, or retained. Each session is isolated. Your client’s documents stay your client’s documents.
Built With Integrity
Assists lawyers.
Doesn't replace them.
