For in-house legal

Three of you. Four hundred agreements.

You are not trying to review less carefully. You are trying to stop reviewing the ninetieth identical NDA so you can spend the time on the two contracts that genuinely matter this quarter.

The real problem

It is not volume. It is that your positions live in your head.

You know what you will accept on liability, on IP, on termination. That knowledge is not written down anywhere procurement can use, so every contract either waits for you or gets decided without you.

Your playbook, made operational

Latitude reads your executed agreements and past redlines and proposes the positions you actually hold. You review and confirm them. From then on everyone applies the same standard, whether or not you are in the room.

Consistency you can evidence

Every position traces to something you approved, and every deviation from it is recorded with who accepted it and when. When the board asks why this contract has a three-month cap, there is an answer.

Escalations with the work done

What reaches you is the clause, the position, what has been agreed on comparable deals, and what is already drafted. You make the judgement call, not the preparation.

The honest version

You are being asked to trust procurement with your positions

That is the actual decision in front of you, and it is worth being direct about it rather than talking about efficiency.

The trade is this: today procurement already decides, informally, whenever waiting for you is not viable. Latitude makes that delegation explicit and bounded — they get exactly the latitude you approved, in writing, and everything outside it comes to you. You are not giving up control; you are replacing an undocumented delegation with a documented one.

How it is constrained

The limits you would insist on anyway

01

The playbook is yours, and you approve it

Latitude infers your positions from your own history, then asks you to confirm them. Nothing is enforced against a live contract until a person has signed off on the position it is enforcing. An inferred playbook nobody checked is just a confident guess.

02

Nothing is sent on its own

There is no path in the product where a redline reaches a counterparty without a person pressing send. Drafting is the job; deciding is not, and the difference matters more here than almost anywhere.

03

It flags what it has not seen

A clause with no playbook position is reported as unknown rather than approximated to the nearest rule. In contract review a confident wrong answer costs far more than an honest gap, because nobody re-reads a clause that came back green.

04

Latitude is not your lawyer

It is a drafting and triage tool used by your team. It does not give legal advice, does not create a solicitor- or attorney-client relationship, and does not replace the judgement your counsel is there to exercise.

Let us infer your playbook and see if we got it right

Twenty signed agreements is usually enough. You will know within an afternoon whether the inferred positions match the ones in your head.
