Contract review & markup
Contract review and markup gives a lawyer a first pass rather than a fresh document. The agent reads an incoming contract against the positions your team has written down, marks the departures, drafts the changes using your agreed fallbacks and lists what is missing altogether. A lawyer edits and approves before anything goes back to the counterparty.
Step by step
Read the incoming draft
The contract is read in full, including schedules and the definitions everything else depends on.
Compare against the playbook
Each clause is set against your written position, with preferred and fallback wording treated separately.
Mark the departures from position
Clauses that sit outside the playbook are marked with the position they depart from and by how far.
List what is missing
Clauses your playbook expects and the draft omits are listed, which is the omission that usually costs the most later.
Draft the markup and fallbacks
Suggested changes are drafted using your agreed wording, leaving anything outside the playbook flagged for a lawyer rather than invented.
Lawyer approves the marked-up draft
The lawyer reviews, edits and approves. The agent does not send the markup to a counterparty under any configuration.
Exactly what this agent can see, touch and change
The same five controls sit behind every ollo agent. These are this one's settings — visible before you build it, not buried in an admin screen afterwards.

How you know it’s rightEvery claim links to the document it came from. A statement the agent cannot cite does not make it into the output — which is what makes the result reviewable in minutes rather than re-read end to end.
Who it’s for
In-house teams reviewing a steady flow of standard agreements, and firms who want juniors starting from a checked first pass rather than a blank margin.

What you get
- A marked-up draft contract
- A list of departures from playbook
- A list of missing clauses
What it doesn’t do
It marks up against positions you have written down. Anything outside the playbook is flagged rather than decided, and it will not advise on risk, sign anything or send a draft to a counterparty.
We build the first one with you
Not a template you configure alone. We sit with your team, build it on real data, and hand over the controls.
Scope
One session with the people who actually do the work. We agree what the agent reads, what it may write, and who approves.
Co-build
Built on your own data, not a sandbox. You watch it being made, so you know why it behaves the way it does.
Handover
You own the controls. Change the context, tighten the rights, move the approval gate — without coming back to us.
Parts of the work currently spread across the categories below. It does not replace any of those products outright.
Frequently asked
What if we do not have a written playbook?
Then that is the first piece of work, and the co-build session is usually where it gets written down properly. The agent can only compare against positions that exist, so a vague playbook produces a vague markup.
Does it negotiate?
No. It drafts a markup from your agreed fallbacks and stops. Negotiation involves judgment about a commercial relationship, and the agent has no route to a counterparty in any case.
How does it treat an unusual clause?
It flags it as outside the playbook and describes what it does, without inventing a position. That flag is the useful output, because unusual clauses are exactly where a lawyer's time should go.
Can it review a contract in another language?
It can read and flag, but a review that will be relied on should be done in the governing language by someone qualified in it. We would scope that carefully rather than claim it works, and the agent marks translated extracts as translated.
