Legal and AI: Why Leading Teams Are Rebuilding Before Automating

**You work with hundreds, maybe thousands, of vendors, partners, and customers.**

But do you really read 8,000 contracts to stay on top of what’s happening across all of them?

Of course not. No one does.

One of our customers put it perfectly:

“Our old document management system was supposed to send renewal notifications… but we later discovered it didn’t. So we didn’t even know what needed renewing, and what had already been terminated.”

That’s not just inconvenient. It’s a major business risk.

And that’s the moment manual vendor and partner management breaks. Once you lose visibility, there’s no reliable backup plan.

👉 Join our 45-minute session to learn how to move from tracking chaos to full vendor visibility and automated, end-to-end lifecycle control.

Featuring Mari-Ann, Head of Customer Success at Avokaado, sharing **real process from teams managing hundreds to thousands of vendors**.

You’ll learn how to:

*   Import legacy contracts using AI and automatically extract key terms
*   Replace manual tracking with continuous monitoring, alerts, and reminders
*   Turn contract data into structured party registries and contract data models
*   Build a scalable vendor and partner lifecycle and KYC process that works at any volume
*   See how this approach translates into a working setup in Avokaado, from onboarding to ongoing lifecycle management

**The result:** the level of vendor visibility and control mature legal teams use to scale without adding headcount.
