When you automate bad contracts, you create problems at scale.

Hard to read gets sent to legal

If people struggle to understand the contract, automation will not fix that. It just puts more unclear contracts into circulation and sends more questions back to legal.

Hard to negotiate becomes a redline quagmire

If the contract creates unnecessary pushback, automation just helps you generate more agreements that get bogged down in avoidable mark-up and back-and-forth.

No approval flow becomes a governance nightmare

If the contract does not reflect the right approval path, automation will not create control. It just helps the wrong work move faster and makes governance harder to manage.

There's now a better way.

We don't just automate contracts. We improve them first.

Before we automate anything, we start by simplifying and branding your contracts, written in plain English and designed for how your business works. Then we build the automation and manage it for you, so it keeps working as your contracts evolve.

Simplify your contracts

We create simple and user-friendly contracts, in your brand. Use INKD’s world-leading designs as your base, or work with Inkling Legal Design to redesign your contracts from the ground up.

Streamline third party contract reviews

We build a bespoke negotiation playbook. We review other parties' contracts, at scale. Our expert lawyers give consumable advice and make realistic changes.

Plain English takes off in the aviation sector.

GE Aviation's move to plain language contracts in its digital services business was later featured as a Harvard Business Review case study1Shawn Burton, 'The Case for Plain Language Contracts', Harvard Business Review, January–February 2018..

The results reported in the case study were striking:

  • 60% less time spent negotiating contracts
  • No disputes over wording
  • Some contracts signed without any changes
  • Consistently positive customer feedback

It is a useful reminder that plain English is not just about style. It can also reduce friction, improve customer experience and help contracts move faster.
