Aeion Legal for Corporate Legal Departments
Corporate legal departments handle 1000s of contracts/year, in-house counsel workflow across 10-100+ attorneys, outside counsel spend management ($1M-$100M+/year), contract compliance tagging across regulatory frameworks, and litigation. Legacy stack — Ironclad (CLM) + Agiloft (CLM) + Mitratech (matter mgmt) + Onit (workflow) + LexisNexis (research) — costs $200K-$2M+/year before integration. Aeion Legal handles contract lifecycle + matter management + LEDES invoice export + AI-assisted obligation tracking natively. Walkthrough for in-house General Counsel office.

FAQ
There's no dedicated Ironclad/Agiloft Singularity connector today — migration is a manual export/import of contract records, clauses, and metadata (via CSV or the API), not a native one-click connector. Budget time accordingly rather than assuming an automated 8-16 week connector-driven migration.
Aeion Legal generates LEDES 1998B, 2000, and 2010 exports from your time entries and expenses for insurance-defense and audit billing. It does not ingest or auto-analyze incoming outside-counsel LEDES invoices for block-billing or rate-variance flags.
Billing rates resolve by 4-tier priority — matter-specific, then client-specific, then practice-area, then attorney-default — for your own timekeepers. There's no separate outside-counsel rate-card or rate-variance-flagging system.
Contracts get regulatory framework compliance tags (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, SOX, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and more) with per-tag review status and portfolio-wide compliance-rate reporting by framework. That's contract-level tagging, not a firm-wide policy/training/incident-management program.
IP matters and licensing contracts use the standard matter and contract workflow (Intellectual Property practice area, License contract type). There's no dedicated patent-prosecution or trademark-renewal-cycle tracker — pair with a specialized IP-docketing tool for that.
Contract content lives in-platform with full version history (content hash + diff-from-previous per revision) and audit logging on every collection. There isn't a dedicated file/media-library integration for arbitrary matter documents today — evidence and exhibits are tracked as records with storage-URL references rather than uploaded through a built-in document library.
Yes, informational only — attorney verifies. AI flags missing/non-standard clauses and a risk score, and can extract candidate obligations (deadlines, payments, deliverables) for an attorney to review and materialize. It doesn't auto-approve or auto-file anything.
Yes. Contract value and counterparty spend exposure, obligation compliance rate, and contracts expiring in 30/60/90 days, all from the same contract + billing data.
Not a built-in feature. You'll see spend and contract-count exposure per counterparty via contract analytics, but there's no composite scoring, tiering, or automated performance grading of outside firms.
Yes. Per-team approval workflows. Per-contract-type process. Per-matter-type assignment rules.
Per-quarter board metrics. Per-strategic-initiative status. Per-risk dashboard. Per-budget vs actual.
Ironclad CLM: $50K-500K/year. Aeion Legal: subscription tier. Actual savings depend on your department's size and current stack, but replacing 4-5 vendor relationships with one platform is typically a substantial reduction.
