eBrevia

eBrevia is a contract intelligence suite for law firms, corporate legal departments, financial institutions, and professional services teams. Contract Analyzer extracts provisions and metadata across agreement sets, groups similar files, and links each result to the underlying language. Reviewers can validate findings, add notes, track progress, and export structured reports for diligence, repapering, lease review, or compliance work.

Lens adds natural language questions without requiring a new extraction model for each question. DraftPro brings playbook checks, preferred clause language, and proposed redlines into Microsoft Word. Its clause library is generated from agreements already held in the eBrevia repository, with filters for context, contract type, matter, and jurisdiction. Command adds a shared repository and management of requests, ownership, priorities, and contract status.

Connect moves agreements and structured results between eBrevia and business systems, including document repositories and reporting tools. The company also offers advisory work on AI implementation and governance. Founded by Adam Nguyen and Jake Mundt in 2011, eBrevia returned to founder ownership when Nguyen reacquired it from DFIN in December 2023. Its current terms identify a principal office in Coral Gables.

Capability grades

All 15 axes, graded from public sources on the date shown. Hover a grade to see what the letter means on that axis.

BB on AI CentralityThe models are the engine of a core capability, layered on a product that would still function without them as a document or workflow system.

AI Centrality

How much of the product is actually AI. Whether the machine learning is the mechanism the buyer is paying for or a feature layered onto conventional software, and whether the vendor is specific about which is which.

AI drives eBrevia's extraction, contract questions, and suggested revisions. Contract Analyzer applies more than 700 prepared fields and supports optional custom extraction, while Lens answers questions without requiring a new model for each request. DraftPro applies playbooks and draws clauses from previous agreements to assist Word editing. Those capabilities sit alongside a conventional operating layer in Command: a repository, contract requests, assignees, priorities, due dates, and status changes.

Removing AI would remove the intelligence and drafting functions, but the surrounding storage and contract work system would still have functions. The suite therefore combines an AI engine with ongoing agreement administration.

BB on Citation Accuracy and Hallucination DisclosureGrounding is real and documented, with linked primary sources and a described retrieval method, short of published accuracy figures an outsider can test.

Citation Accuracy and Hallucination Disclosure

Whether the vendor publishes measured accuracy on citations and assertions, grounds output to primary sources, and says plainly what its system does when it does not know. Legal has a documented public record of fabricated citations reaching filed briefs, so an untested claim of accuracy is not evidence.

Contract Analyzer presents extracted information beside the agreement and lets a reviewer jump from a result to the exact source text. Lens uses the same contract material for contextual answers, and DraftPro draws reusable clauses from agreements already in the repository. Users can validate, annotate, or correct results before exporting them. This gives contract findings a traceable basis, rather than treating generated language as an unsupported conclusion.

Published review speed and accuracy claims are not accompanied by a reproducible evaluation dataset or a detailed failure analysis. The source links concern agreements, not a verified collection of judicial authority.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on Autonomy and Oversight ModelA written commitment that the models work alongside a supervising lawyer, with real review surfaces, short of the full control structure: commonly the threshold at which the system stops or what happens after it is wrong.

Autonomy and Oversight Model

What the system decides on its own, what a lawyer must approve, and whether the vendor documents where the review point sits. A tool that drafts under review and a tool that files without one are different products and different risks.

DraftPro proposes redlines after applying the legal team's playbook, but the lawyer chooses which revisions enter the Word file. The review explains whether a provision passes or fails the chosen standard and allows navigation to the relevant clause. Contract Analyzer separately supports reviewer assignments, progress states, annotations, and quality assurance workflows. Command tracks ownership and activity as an agreement moves through drafting, review, negotiation, and signature.

These are practical review surfaces and responsibilities. The product does not describe a confidence based stopping rule, an automatic route for every uncertain answer, or a recovery procedure after an incorrect result has been accepted.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on Operational and Outcome EvidenceReal deployment evidence with substance, short of full attribution or measurement: a named customer without figures, or figures without the named customer.

Operational and Outcome Evidence

Named, dated evidence that the product works in production at real firms or legal departments. Case studies with figures and identified customers count. Unattributed testimonials and launch announcements do not.

Named users describe concrete work with eBrevia. McDermott, Will & Emery attributes its ability to meet difficult review deadlines to the product. MUFG describes using custom trainable AI across different review needs, while Morris, Manning & Martin connects it with reducing data handling so lawyers can focus on analysis. Baker McKenzie discusses international deals, and Best World Group describes visibility across regional contracts.

The product also advertises review time reductions of 30 to 90 percent. These accounts establish deployed legal and business uses, but the cited figures are not tied to a dated study with a reproducible measurement method.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on Privilege and Confidentiality PostureSubstantive published commitments on confidentiality and training use, short of the full picture: commonly silence on segregation between users or matters, or on what the underlying model provider may retain.

Privilege and Confidentiality Posture

How client confidences are handled: attorney client privilege and work product treatment, segregation of one client matter from another, whether client data trains any model, and what the vendor commits to in writing rather than in marketing.

The service agreement treats uploaded Licensee Data as confidential and restricts disclosure to authorized recipients who need the information and carry matching confidentiality duties. It permits injunctive relief for a breach and requires steps to recover improperly disclosed material. Live customer data is deleted at termination or written request, with encrypted backups and legal retention exceptions. Public marketing promises no training on client data, while the incorporated Privacy Notice permits service personal data to support product improvement.

The contract does not expressly exclude model training from that permission. Attorney client privilege, matter barriers, and downstream model provider retention receive no specific public treatment.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on UPL and Professional Responsibility PostureA real position is published on advice versus tooling, short of full treatment: commonly a disclaimer without the supervision and competence dimension, or silence on jurisdiction limits.

UPL and Professional Responsibility Posture

Whether the vendor is clear that it supplies a tool rather than legal advice, who its audience is, and how it addresses unauthorized practice of law, competence and supervision duties, and jurisdiction limits. ABA Formal Opinion 512 is the reference point. Where the advice line is not the duty a product raises, the axis is read through the nearest professional duty it does raise: judicial conduct rules and the reviewing duty for products sold only to courts, and the duty to bill for time actually spent for products that draft time entries.

eBrevia's service agreement defines its role as a tool for reviewing, summarizing, and managing legal material, expressly excluding replacement of legal advice. The customer remains responsible for decisions based on generated information. Authorized users include employees, attorneys, paralegals, and professional staff performing legal or related services. A licensee may share analysis with its clients, but direct client access requires a separate license.

DraftPro reinforces lawyer control over proposed changes. These boundaries identify the product's professional role without setting out jurisdiction specific eligibility rules or a detailed account of how a firm should satisfy competence, supervision, and client consent duties.

DD on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureNo governance position published for a system whose output affects legal outcomes.

AI Governance and Bias Disclosure

Published governance over model behavior: who owns it inside the vendor, what is tested before release, and what is disclosed about disparate output across matter types, parties, or populations.

eBrevia offers Legal Advisory services covering AI use case selection, secure architecture, governance mapping, pilot evaluation, and adoption. Those services describe work for a customer's rollout, rather than a published policy governing eBrevia's own model development. Its leadership materials identify technical responsibility for the AI platforms, and its security program concerns protection of information. No public framework describes model release approval, bias evaluation, or results across languages and agreement types.

Customer playbooks specify review positions, but they do not reveal how the vendor evaluates errors or uneven performance before introducing changes to its underlying AI.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on AI Safety and Data StewardshipSubstantive published policy covering most of the ground, short of the full set: commonly no named subprocessor list or no stated incident practice.

AI Safety and Data Stewardship

Retention, deletion, access control, and what happens to prompts and documents after they are processed. Whether the vendor states its subprocessors and its incident practice, or leaves the buyer to assume.

The customer agreement provides deletion of live Licensee Data at termination or on written request, while allowing encrypted backup copies for six months and retention required by law. The Privacy Notice supplies a similar rule for service personal data. Contract Analyzer describes encryption in transit and storage, and the wider platform offers access controls for enterprise use. Public materials also describe monitoring and independent security audits.

They do not name a complete current subprocessor chain or establish a specific incident notification deadline. The service terms exclude protected health information, payment card data, and certain financial personal information from authorized uploads.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on AI Liability and RecourseA real published position on liability, short of the full picture: commonly a stated indemnity without scope or caps.

AI Liability and Recourse

What the vendor stands behind contractually when its output is wrong. Indemnities, caps, carve outs, insurance, and whether any of it is published or only reachable through a negotiated agreement.

The service agreement provides an intellectual property indemnity for claims that eBrevia's technology infringes third party rights, subject to a customer modification exclusion. That indemnity is expressly outside the general liability limit. Ordinary direct damages are capped at fees paid during the preceding 12 months, with consequential losses excluded and a one year limit for bringing an action. Separate exceptions cover specified personal injury, misconduct, and fraud claims.

The functionality commitment uses commercially reasonable efforts, while accuracy and completeness are disclaimed. These terms provide defined recourse for technology infringement, but no specific indemnity or correctness warranty for generated legal output.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on Practice Systems Integration DepthReal integrations exist and are documented, short of depth: named connections without a description of what they actually move.

Practice Systems Integration Depth

How deeply the product reaches into the systems legal work already lives in: document management such as iManage and NetDocuments, Word and Outlook, contract lifecycle management, matter management, e-billing, and court filing systems.

DraftPro works inside Word and obtains clause language from the licensed eBrevia repository; users inspect suggestions and apply selected redlines to the draft. Connect handles incoming agreements and pushes extracted data into downstream systems. Its listed connections include iManage, NetDocuments, HighQ, Relativity, Salesforce, SharePoint, Microsoft applications, and reporting tools. Described operations include tagging files, assigning employees, validating data across systems, and generating reports.

This establishes movement into and out of the contract platform. The public descriptions do not provide connector specific field mappings, permission synchronization rules, or installation procedures showing what each firm must configure.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyDeployment model is stated clearly with partial residency detail, or residency is offered without the processing location being addressed, or the tenancy model is stated on its own with no residency detail published.

Deployment Model and Data Residency

Where the software runs and where the data sits. Multi tenant cloud, single tenant, private deployment, on premises, and whether region of residence is a published option or an enterprise conversation.

eBrevia operates as a hosted contract platform with a Word add in connected to the licensed environment. Its Privacy Notice says hosting defaults to the United States unless the customer instructs otherwise, while also identifying facilities across several continents. The same notice explains that business processes cross borders and processing cannot always be confined to the individual's country. No public tier matrix identifies the alternative regions available for every product, and no separate location is supplied for each generative model task.

A hosting instruction therefore provides some regional control without a complete account of storage, processing, and provider locations.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on Security Certifications and Trust CenterCertification is real and stated, short of accessible evidence: a named standard without scope, date, or a way to obtain the report.

Security Certifications and Trust Center

Independent attestation a buyer can pull without a sales call: SOC 2, ISO 27001, penetration test summaries, a trust center with current reports and named scope rather than a badge image.

eBrevia states that it is independently certified for SOC 1 and SOC 2, and Contract Analyzer specifically names SOC 2 Type II infrastructure. The security description refers to continuing audits and monitoring, encryption, and controls for authorized access. It also claims GDPR and HIPAA compliance, which are separate from a disclosed audit report. No accessible report supplies the audit period, exceptions, or precise service scope.

The public customer agreement additionally restricts protected health information, so the HIPAA marketing statement does not override that upload restriction or establish that a customer has an applicable business associate agreement.

Source: Vendor Published
CC on Model Supply Chain DisclosureThe vendor refers to advanced or proprietary models without identifying what sits underneath.

Model Supply Chain Disclosure

Which models sit underneath, whose they are, where they run, and whether the vendor commits to telling customers when that changes. A legal buyer inherits every dependency it cannot see.

The suite distinguishes structured extraction from Lens, its generative layer for questions across contract material. Contract Analyzer has prepared fields and optional custom models, while DraftPro combines AI classification, playbook review, and clause reuse. eBrevia describes its own long development history in machine learning and natural language processing, but does not identify the foundation model providers serving current Lens or DraftPro requests.

No version inventory, provider retention arrangement, or notification commitment for model changes is published in the product and contract materials. Named business integrations identify connected applications, not the model services that may process a customer's agreement.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on Commercial TransparencyReal pricing is published for part of the range, with enterprise tiers withheld, or the unit and structure are stated without the figure.

Commercial Transparency

Whether a buyer can learn what this costs without entering a sales process: published rates, the unit being charged, what sits behind an enterprise tier, and what implementation adds.

eBrevia quotes review projects according to contract volume, review scope, and required capabilities. Its service agreement sets fees and access in a proposal and defines a processed Document as no more than 300 pages. The default contract period is one year with annual renewal unless the proposal changes it, and nonrenewal requires 30 days' notice. Contract Analyzer, DraftPro, and Connect can form part of the licensed services.

No numeric subscription rate or implementation charge is supplied publicly. Training and support appear within the service definition, but their inclusion and any additional cost depend on the negotiated proposal.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on Firm and Practice CoverageSegment and practice coverage is described with substance, short of the boundaries: what is supported is clear, what is not is left open.

Firm and Practice Coverage

Who the product is actually built for. AmLaw, midlaw, small firm and solo, in house departments, government and courts, and which practice areas are supported rather than merely claimed.

The product addresses law firms, corporate legal departments, financial institutions, and audit or consulting teams. Law firm workflows include mergers and acquisitions diligence, bankruptcy and financing review, and compliance reporting. Contract Analyzer also supports leases, repapering, and migration of agreement data. DraftPro covers repeat commercial, employment, privacy, technology, finance, real estate, and corporate agreements, with sample playbooks for selected types and custom positions for others.

Command extends contract information to procurement, sales, finance, and related business teams. Coverage is described through these tasks and examples, without a complete list of supported jurisdictions or performance boundaries for each language.

The public pages on file for eBrevia, with the recorded signals each one supports and the date it was last read. Open any of them and check the reading against the record.

Pricing

Custom quote

  • eBrevia needs a quote based on contract volume and review scope.
  • The selected products and services affect the price.
  • The default agreement renews each year with 30 days' nonrenewal notice.
  • No public setup price is stated.

Quotes depend on contract volume, review scope, and selected capabilities. A proposal sets fees and licensed processing; the service terms define a Document as no more than 300 pages. The default term is one year with annual renewal and 30 days' notice for nonrenewal, unless the proposal provides otherwise.

Implementation: Training, support, and documentation appear in the definition of the service. Implementation, custom workflows, Connect configuration, and advisory scope require the proposal; no separate numeric setup fee is published.

Confidentiality and data terms: The standard service terms exclude protected health information from uploaded Licensee Data. The HIPAA marketing claim does not establish a business associate agreement or permission for that content.

Note: No public amount establishes a total subscription or deployment price. The volume and review scope basis is published, but contract terms and selected services remain proposal specific. A 300 page Document definition is not a stated price per page.

Legal Signals

What each signal means

A signal records what public sources say on the date shown. It is not a grade and it is not a recommendation. Where a signal reads Not addressed, it means the index did not locate the material in public sources on that date, which is a statement about disclosure rather than about the product.

Confidentiality and Privilege

Client Data in Training

Can material a lawyer puts into this product be used to train a model?

Permitted, in the contract

The published agreement expressly reserves a right to train on customer content, with no opt out located. Any de identification, anonymization or aggregation qualifier is recorded in the summary.

The service agreement incorporates the Privacy Notice for uploaded material and service personal data. That notice permits personal information to support developing and improving products and services, without expressly excluding model training from that permission. The scope is personal data covered by the notice, not an assertion that every uploaded agreement is used for training. Public event material separately promises no training on client data, but a matching prohibition does not appear in the customer contract.

Prompt and Output Retention

How long does the product keep what a lawyer typed, and can that be set to zero?

Customer controlled, no zero option

The customer controls the retention window, by product configuration or by contractual instruction, but zero retention is not stated as available.

The customer can instruct eBrevia in writing to delete live Licensee Data, and termination also triggers that deletion duty. The Privacy Notice similarly permits removal of personal data from live services on request. Encrypted backups may remain for six months, and legal retention requirements create an exception. This is control through a contractual instruction, rather than a published retention slider. No mode promises that prompts and generated answers are never retained during processing.

Ethical Walls and Matter Segregation

Does retrieval respect the firm’s ethical walls, or can the model read across them?

Not addressed

No located public material addresses walls or matter level segregation.

DraftPro ties user access to the licensed eBrevia environment and can filter clause material by project, matter, contract type, or jurisdiction. Contract Analyzer supports assignments and enterprise access controls. Those features do not establish that retrieval enforces a firm's ethical walls or inherits the permissions of an upstream document repository. A matter filter organizes material for review; it is not, by itself, a documented security boundary preventing access to another client's information.

Source: Vendor PublishedAs of Oct 16, 2026Evidence

Third Party Request and Subpoena Notice

If someone subpoenas the vendor for a firm’s data, does the firm hear about it first?

Disclosure addressed, notice absent

Published terms or policy address disclosure to authorities or in response to legal process, and no commitment or reservation regarding customer notice is located anywhere. The vendor has told the customer that data can leave and has said nothing about whether the customer hears of it.

The Privacy Notice allows disclosure in response to an information request when eBrevia determines that law, regulation, or legal process permits or requires it. It also covers disclosures to protect rights and defend legal claims. Neither that provision nor the service agreement commits to informing the customer before producing material, and no transparency report is supplied. The confidentiality clause limits ordinary sharing but does not add a separate notice procedure for compulsory demands.

Accuracy and Authority

Primary Law Corpus Provenance

Where does the law in this product come from, and does the vendor have the right to use it?

Not addressed

No located public material identifies the corpus behind the product’s answers.

eBrevia's contract answers and clause library derive from agreements supplied to its repository. Lens asks questions of that material, while DraftPro reuses provisions from earlier contracts with filters for the current context. The service terms require the customer to hold the rights needed for uploaded material. No separate primary law collection, publisher license, or legal update schedule is described. Contract source traceability therefore establishes where an agreement answer came from, rather than the provenance of external legal authority.

Source: Vendor PublishedAs of Oct 16, 2026Evidence

Good Law Verification

Does the product tell you when the authority it just cited has been overruled?

Not addressed

No located public material addresses whether authority is checked for subsequent history.

A reviewer can follow an extracted provision back to the contract and assess it against a playbook. Neither that process nor a Lens answer checks whether a judicial authority has later been reversed or limited. The products focus on contract language, obligations, and company positions, with no named citator or subsequent treatment mechanism. A governing law field identifies a contract term; it does not establish that the law applied to the agreement remains current.

Source: Vendor PublishedAs of Oct 16, 2026Evidence

Refusal and Uncertainty Behavior

What does the product do when the answer is not in the corpus?

Not addressed

No located public material addresses what the product does when it cannot ground an answer.

Lens is described as producing contextual answers linked to contract material, but no public example specifies what it returns when the agreement cannot support an answer. DraftPro's pass or fail result concerns compliance with a chosen playbook, not uncertainty in the model's interpretation. Users can correct extraction, add missing clauses, and reject revisions. Those review controls leave room for human judgment without defining an automatic refusal or abstention path for unsupported output.

Source: Vendor PublishedAs of Oct 16, 2026Evidence

Fabricated Citation Record

Does a public court record exist addressing fabricated or hallucinated legal citations in output from this product?

None located

No court order, opinion or disciplinary record addressing fabricated or hallucinated legal citations produced by this product has been located as of the date shown. This is a statement about the public record on that one subject, not a finding about the product, and this signal is not a litigation history.

The AI Hallucination Cases database maintained by Damien Charlotin has no entry naming eBrevia or e Brevia. The database records court decisions involving hallucinated AI material and identifies tools when the proceedings do so. eBrevia mainly analyzes agreements and proposes contract language, rather than preparing briefs from judicial authorities. That focus does not make its output infallible, and the absence of a named court case is not a test of extraction accuracy or drafting quality.

Source: Operator VerifiedAs of Oct 16, 2026Evidence
Professional Responsibility

Bar Guidance Alignment

Has the vendor engaged in public with the ethics opinions its buyers are bound by?

Not addressed

No located public material engages with bar or ethics guidance.

The service agreement separates software assistance from legal advice and places responsibility for decisions with the customer. DraftPro also keeps proposed changes subject to lawyer approval. These provisions establish a supervised product role, but no named bar opinion or jurisdiction specific ethics mapping accompanies them. The public materials do not connect use of Lens, shared client material, or automated contract revisions with particular duties of competence, confidentiality, disclosure, or supervision under a professional rule.

Source: Vendor PublishedAs of Oct 16, 2026Evidence

Billing and Fee Posture

Does the vendor address what happens to the bill when the work takes an hour instead of six?

Savings claims only

Public materials claim time savings without addressing billing or disclosure, and the product sits inside a fee relationship between a lawyer and a client where those savings would change the bill.

eBrevia markets reduced review time and cost to law firms as well as corporate buyers. Its law firm use cases include diligence, financing review, and compliance reports, and the customer license expressly permits sharing resulting analysis with clients. These uses place the product inside legal service delivery where efficiency can affect a bill. The public product and contract materials do not explain how lawyers should record saved time, adjust billed hours, or disclose an AI related charge.

Source: Vendor PublishedAs of Oct 16, 2026Evidence

Outside Counsel Guideline Readiness

Can a firm get this vendor through a client’s AI clause without a bespoke negotiation?

Not addressed

No located public material supports a client side disclosure obligation.

The service agreement, Privacy Notice, and security statements provide general information about confidentiality, retention, and permitted data. They do not include a current named model provider chain, a complete subprocessor register, or a client disclosure package for outside counsel use. Lists of supported applications describe integrations rather than organizations processing data on eBrevia's behalf. A firm can use the public contract material in diligence, but it does not resolve a client's AI specific notification requirements.

Court Disclosure Support

If a judge’s standing order requires an AI disclosure, can the product produce one?

Partial record

Some elements of the record are available, short of a document level export.

Contract Analyzer retains extracted terms beside source language and supports review status, annotations, and exported reports. DraftPro leaves selected revisions visible as Word redlines, while Command records contract activity and status changes. Those elements can help reconstruct what was reviewed. No public export combines the generating model, the full set of material used for an answer, and a named person's verification in one certificate. Contract analysis records therefore cover only part of a filing disclosure.
