Hudson River Trading (HRT) thrives on speed, precision, and data. As one of the world’s leading quantitative trading firms, they operate in markets where every nanosecond counts. But while their trading systems were optimized for efficiency, their contract management process told a different story. NDAs and vendor agreements were scattered across file shares. Key details were buried in static documents. And extracting information meant hours of manual effort.
As HRT scaled, so did the volume and complexity of their contracts. What they needed was clarity—fast. That meant turning contract review from a manual bottleneck into a streamlined, intelligent workflow. With DocJuris, they did exactly that.
Like many fast-growing companies, HRT faced a silent but serious operational issue: no systematic way to manage contracts. The legal team was responsible for hundreds of NDAs and business agreements, but most of them lived in siloed folders with no structured tracking or visibility. Terms had to be re-read. Obligations were easy to miss. And entering critical data into internal systems became a painstaking, repetitive task.
These weren’t isolated inefficiencies—they were risks. Without centralized access to key contract details, reporting lagged, compliance became harder to maintain, and scaling operations became more difficult by the day. HRT knew they needed a smarter way to work—but not at the cost of disrupting the systems they already relied on.
HRT found their breakthrough by integrating DocJuris directly into Jira, the platform their teams already used to track work. Now, instead of chasing down files or combing through PDFs, users could upload contracts directly into Jira and let AI do the heavy lifting.
DocJuris instantly scanned agreements, extracted key information, and summarized terms in a structured, searchable format. Manual data entry disappeared. Risk visibility improved. And instead of reading contracts line-by-line, teams could focus on what mattered—understanding the business terms, identifying red flags, and moving faster with confidence.
For HRT, this wasn’t just about automation—it was about empowerment. Legal and operations teams could finally scale without friction. Reporting became seamless. And the company gained a more strategic handle on its agreements—without ever slowing down.
DocJuris streamlined my reviews and reduced my workload, thereby allowing me to work on other high visibility projects.
