Benjamin Moore's legal team translates contract templates and workflows between English and French with Ironclad's Contract Review Agent

L1 · Assistive Verified · Production Manufacturing Legal Ops

Benjamin Moore's associate general counsel consolidated contracting across procurement, sales and retailer agreements into Ironclad, with workflows routed by contract value. Within Ironclad, he uses the Contract Review Agent to translate contracts and workflows from English to French, and checked accuracy by comparing its output with translations from the company's existing translation service, finding they matched 'in almost all respects'. He says the agent has saved him 'hours and hours'; the team also uses AI playbooks and clause libraries for risk analysis and template management (reported by Ironclad, citing Benjamin Moore). No precise time figure is given

Problem

High contract volume was managed in departments' disconnected systems, and English templates and workflows also needed French versions (the business reason is not stated) (reported by Ironclad)

Workflow

  1. Legal maintains English templates and clause libraries in Ironclad
  2. Contract Review Agent translates contracts or workflows into French inside Ironclad
  3. Counsel compares output with human translations to validate accuracy
  4. Validated French templates and workflows are put into use
  5. AI playbooks support risk analysis on incoming agreements

Human-in-the-loop: Counsel validated translations against the existing human translation service and reviews outputs before use.
