FBFK Law Shareholder Javier Aranda is featured in the AI Journal, where he examines how generative AI is reshaping the contract review process.
Contract review has long been one of the most time-consuming, high-pressure tasks for attorneys, especially when last-minute deals demand quick turnaround. Traditional methods are tedious, error-prone, and inconsistent, yet recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) are changing this reality. From automated clause extraction and risk detection to redlining assistance and contract negotiation support, GenAI tools can dramatically speed up review while helping lawyers focus on higher-level risks and strategy.
Still, with its promise comes responsibility. Data quality, bias, confidentiality, and integration challenges mean attorneys must balance AI-driven efficiency with human judgment, ethical oversight, and strong data governance. Used thoughtfully, GenAI offers opportunities to not only meet urgent deadlines but also improve long-term consistency, accuracy, and value in contract management.
