Recital

Simplifying Contract Management for In-House Counsel

Contracts form the backbone of business operations, yet managing them often feels more chaotic than efficient. For in-house legal teams, scattered documents, endless version histories, and clunky tools are all too familiar challenges. Instead of ensuring the best commercial outcomes, contract management can become a time-draining scavenger hunt, forcing teams to dig through inboxes or document systems—or worse, handing over version control to external lawyers.

But what if there was a smarter way to manage contracts? Enter Recital, an AI-powered contract review and management platform designed specifically to address the pain points faced by in-house counsel.

Turning Chaos Into Clarity

Disorganized contracts are the bane of any legal team’s existence. Time wasted searching through email threads or cloud storage is time taken away from strategy and critical decision-making. Recital tackles this issue head-on by automatically creating a centralized, searchable repository of contracts, both historical and in-progress.

The result? Within days—or even hours—users gain access to a structured database that transforms how they manage contracts.

And the best part? Recital integrates seamlessly with tools lawyers already use, including Microsoft Word, Outlook, Gmail, and popular cloud storage platforms. This eliminates the need for additional logins or lengthy onboarding processes, allowing legal teams to manage contracts smarter, without disrupting their workflow.

AI That Understands Contracts

Recital’s AI doesn’t just search for keywords—it understands contracts. With advanced clause extraction and suggestion features, the platform allows legal teams to:

  • Pull relevant language from past agreements.
  • Suggest alternatives tailored to specific matters.
  • Leverage their firm’s historical work product for faster, more consistent drafting and review.

Recital even goes a step further by mapping relationships between contracts, such as linking master service agreements with order forms, statements of work, and amendments. This ability to connect related documents provides legal teams with a comprehensive view of their contractual obligations—without hours spent scrolling through PDFs.

Seamless Negotiations, Simplified

One of the most frustrating aspects of contract management is keeping track of versions. How many times have you wondered, “Am I working on the right draft?” With Recital’s in-flight negotiation management tools, those worries are a thing of the past.

The platform:

  • Automatically tracks versions.
  • Generates instant redlines.
  • Allows direct document comparisons from email inboxes.

Whether working in Outlook or Gmail, lawyers can review, revise, and respond without leaving their workflow.

Recital also fosters cross-department collaboration, ensuring sales and procurement teams work from the same centralized repository. By creating a single source of truth, Recital keeps contract negotiations transparent, efficient, and on track.

Built for Legal Teams, Big and Small

Unlike many contract lifecycle management (CLM) systems, Recital doesn’t try to be everything for everyone. Instead, it’s laser-focused on solving the challenges unique to in-house counsel.

  • For mid-sized legal teams: Recital offers a straightforward, easy-to-implement solution without the complexity of legacy systems.
  • For solo general counsel: Its intuitive design and automation tools provide efficiency and clarity, even for lean teams.
  • For larger enterprises: Recital’s simplicity and adaptability make it a refreshing alternative to overcomplicated systems, integrating seamlessly with existing tools and workflows.

What’s Next for Recital?

Recital’s roadmap promises even more innovation, with plans for:

  • Deeper integrations with business tools like CRM and e-signature platforms.
  • Enhanced clause extraction and metadata capabilities for greater precision.

As in-house legal teams continue to navigate growing workloads and tighter deadlines, Recital is carving a path toward simpler, faster, and more effective contract management.

For those ready to leave the chaos behind and embrace clarity, Recital might just be the game-changing solution they’ve been waiting for.
