Weagree accelerates your contracting flow. We provide a highly user-friendly end-to-end contract solution (contract creation, negotiation and CLM, contract lifecycle management) for top quality contracts, optimising the performance of legal professionals.
As one of the first contract automation providers worldwide, Weagree is a leading innovator. We are recognised as an expert on best practices of contract drafting, and inspire our customers by improving their quality of contracting. We like to think that we are changing an industry.
Contract automation is increasingly data-driven, evolving into integrated enterprise-grade solutions connecting with ERP, CRM, DMS, e-signing and other applications. With the increasing importance of compliance (e.g. GDPR, ESG, regulatory, cyber security), contracting and contracts acquire a central place in corporate processes, involving more and more stakeholders.
Therefore, Weagree focuses on:
Collaborative contracting (cooperation among people in creating, negotiating and agreeing a contract or set of contracts);
Connectivity (exchange – import and export – of data both within and outside the organisation, increasingly supported by AI-tooling); and
Process automation (AI and BI: automated contract review, automated risk assessment, data extraction, contract reporting).
We have a number of impressive customers. We help them accelerate contract drafting: optimising the performance of in-house legal counsel, business managers and attorneys-at-law by providing a complete contract know-how management solution.
Our vision statement would be meaningless if it weren’t consistent with who we are and what Weagree stands for:
Excellence. We are committed to excellence in everything we do, always and everywhere, with a view to creating permanency with our customer’s interests.
Learning. The pleasure of learning is a driving force. We continuously seek to improve ourselves and to encourage others to achieve their full potential, to be receptive to differing opinions and to enjoy collaboration.
Authenticity. We build our relationships on respect and reliability, appreciating openness and honesty.
Since 2006, Weagree has been sharing best practices, tips and tricks related to contract drafting and cross-border contracting, for free, online. Seminal examples are:
Weagree’s open culture of defining best practices, includes sharing do’s and don’ts and customer experiences on implementing innovations effectively. Find our implementation best practices here.
We are committed to mindfulness, guided by the idea of intention, attention and attitude. It is a living principle that resonates throughout Weagree’s culture, operations and application.
First and foremost, our contract automation and CLM solution enables and encourages all our customers to minimise their paper consumption. Not printing must come natural with an implementation of a user-friendly Weagree.
We are not there yet: the ecological footprint of working at our offices must reduce.
* Our data centre (located in the Netherlands) was the first worldwide to receive the BREEAM certification ‘Excellent’. Heat from the data center is reused by means of an innovative gas engine heat pump. The data center is equipped with a solar park. On balance 94 percent of their CO2 emissions due to power consumption are compensated by using green power.
Oh, and we are doing it together. No hierarchy in the team.
Weagree was founded in March 2006. We launched our prototype (the term ‘MVP’ did not exist yet) of the Weagree Wizard in 2008. At that time, Weagree was one of very few legal innovators worldwide (the term ‘legaltech’ was not yet invented). In 2011, Weagree was nominated for Hill’s Innovating Justice Award, a worldwide recognition for disruptive innovations as regards the access to and provisioning of professional legal services.
Weagree is bootstrapped. Weagree has been able to become successful without venture capital or private equity. We are proud of our independence; we develop our application step-by-step together with our customers – in innovation-terminology: Weagree is ‘bootstrapped’. This approach enabled us to explore best ways to improve the Weagree Wizard and to maximise its user-friendliness – we’re not learning what user-friendliness means merely because we’re lawyers ourselves, but also because we collaborate so closely with our customers.
If you are afraid of a small global product leader: numerous impressive customers stepped over it, and have been experiencing our passion as part of their return on investment.
Weagree accelerates contract drafting by providing automated contract creation and contract lifecycle management (CLM) software:
Weagree’s contract automation application (the “Weagree Wizard”): through a smart and user-friendly Q&A-function, users create high quality (simple or complex) first draft contracts in minutes rather than hours. It includes a fully integrated clause library, real time editor, guest user access and collaborative contract creation functionality.
Contract automation includes everything ‘precontractual’ in support of your contracting processes: DMS (document management system), AI-automated contract review, AI-supported contract risk management, transaction management, contract tasks management, e-signing integrations, approval workflows, and contract handover.
The Weagree Wizard contains an integrated contract lifecycle management solution: a repository for all signed contracts (and contract-related documents), email alerting solution (for deadlines and expiry dates), and managing contract data (rights and obligations).
This post-signing part of the Weagree Wizard includes (Kanban) tasks management, (automated) contract reporting, also visualised on a reporting and analysis dashboard. Plus entity management and org charts for corporate housekeeping, but also extending to counterparties (suppliers, sales channel agents, customers and partners).
A contract drafting ecosystem. Weagree offers a complete ecosystem of contract drafting expertise: a free online book Contract drafting, our LinkedIn group Drafting contracts, contract-drafting courses and masterclasses, free model contracts , a training programme Cross-border contracting, developed with the International Trade Centre – a joint agency of the United Nations and World Trade Organisation (and book, accessible on precontractual.com).
