How Siemens achieved 100X improvement in contract review efficiency

Overview

As a global powerhouse in engineering and technology, Siemens navigates an intricate web of commercial agreements—each carrying its own set of risks. From high-value infrastructure projects to smaller service deals, contracts ranged from $200 to over $100 million in value. But while the largest agreements were regularly routed through Legal, many lower-value contracts weren’t—simply because the Legal team didn’t have the bandwidth to review every document. That gap introduced uncertainty and exposure.

Legal leadership knew the stakes. Even a minor oversight in a small contract could trigger significant downstream impact—from compliance issues to costly disputes. Siemens needed a better way to scale oversight without slowing the business. That meant introducing structure, consistency, and automation into the review process—without adding headcount or creating friction for sales teams. That’s when they turned to DocJuris.

Challenge

Siemens’s existing contract review process struggled to keep up with the company’s operational complexity. High volume wasn’t the only problem—it was unpredictability. The company lacked a systematic way to review lower-value contracts, many of which still contained meaningful risk. Sales teams were often left to navigate terms without legal input. And while attempts to implement other tools had been made, none were robust or intuitive enough to earn widespread adoption.

The result? Legal exposure multiplied across smaller agreements. Key red flags were missed. Inconsistencies crept into negotiations. And without a uniform process in place, the company faced rising risk without a clear mitigation path. Siemens needed to make contract review repeatable, reliable, and resilient—no matter the contract’s size.

Solution

With DocJuris, Siemens deployed a smarter, AI-powered solution that transformed how risk was identified and managed across the board. The platform didn’t just speed up review—it standardized it. Contracts that previously slipped through the cracks were now being analyzed with the same care and scrutiny as million-dollar agreements.

DocJuris’s AI flagged issues automatically, from misplaced commas to clause-level risk misalignments. Legal teams no longer had to chase down every draft—risk surfaced instantly, and the software ensured reviews aligned with Siemens’s internal policies. Within weeks, the company had reviewed over 400 contracts with 11x more consistency than before.

Even better, adoption grew organically. Spot bonuses incentivized usage across departments, and sales teams began to view the process as helpful—not hindering. Legal regained visibility and control, while business units gained speed and confidence in their deals. For Siemens, it wasn’t just a tech upgrade—it was a cultural shift.
