Recital helps in-house legal teams make contract data accessible without changing how they work. It automatically pulls contracts and related files from email, cloud drives, shared network servers, local storage, and CLMs, organizing them in one place and extracting key contract data along the way. With contracts connected and structured, teams can review documents, compare versions, and quickly surface important details, all without long implementations or complex system changes. This creates the foundation for contract intelligence to flow into the financial, sales, and operational systems where business decisions happen.
Making Contract Data Work for the Business
- Handling Renewals. Recital automatically extracts renewal dates, termination windows, and price escalation clauses as contracts are ingested, making renewal timelines visible across your portfolio. Teams can track notice periods, identify auto-renewal provisions, and surface contracts requiring attention before critical deadlines pass.
- Due Diligence Readiness. M&A due diligence requires rapid access to contracts that may span years and multiple storage systems. Recital identifies and organizes contracts from email threads, cloud storage, and legacy systems—grouping versions, mapping relationships, and extracting key provisions like change-of-control clauses, liability terms, and regulatory commitments. What typically takes weeks of manual document review happens in days.
- Contract Data Across the Business. Finance needs renewal dates for revenue forecasting. Sales needs pricing precedent for negotiations. IT needs data processing terms for compliance. Procurement needs vendor obligations for spend analysis. Recital extracts and structures contract data so it can flow to the teams that need it—through reporting, exports, or integration with existing business systems—without requiring stakeholders to route requests through legal.
- Auto-Repository: Recital connects to existing contract sources and automatically identifies contracts among mixed files across email, cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, SharePoint), shared network servers, and local storage. It groups versions, de-duplicates, maps parent-child relationships, and establishes version history without manual tagging. Recital can process thousands of contracts in a single day.
- Contract Data Extraction: Recital extracts structured data from contracts as they are ingested, including standard metadata (parties, dates, terms) and legal provisions (assignment restrictions, termination rights, liability caps). This information remains linked to underlying documents and can be searched, filtered, and reported on as contracts continue to arrive.
- Contract Comparison and Review: Recital automatically maintains version histories and links new drafts from connected folders or email to the correct contract. Users can compare any two versions in Recital or use the Word add-in to generate redlines, access their clause library, and find similar clauses from their contract history. Comparisons are powered by Litera Compare and can be reviewed in Recital or opened in Word for continued drafting.
- Contract Reporting: Recital enables reporting across extracted contract data, including parties, dates, terms, and key provisions. Teams can review and export this information to support audits, reviews, and ongoing contract oversight, with data available as structured CSV files for use in other systems.
- Setup and integrations: Recital is configured by connecting existing systems, including cloud storage, email, shared network servers, and local storage. Once connected, the platform begins identifying and organizing contracts immediately. No data migration, reconfiguration of workflows, or lengthy setup process is required.
- Security: Recital is designed to protect sensitive contract data with encryption for data in transit and at rest and continuous technical monitoring. The platform is hosted on industry-leading infrastructure and undergoes regular security scans, patching, and code review to help maintain system integrity. Recital is SOC 2 Type II and Google CASA compliant, and internal access to production data is limited, logged, and controlled through established security practices.
- Data portability: Customers retain full ownership of their contract data. Documents and structured data can be exported at any time, allowing teams to retain or move their data as needed.
