Short answer
Clause extraction is pulling specific terms out of contracts, such as the governing law, the liability cap or the renewal date, into structured fields you can compare. In Attorly this is Tabular Review: one row per contract, one column per question, and every extracted value carries a quote from the source with its surrounding text.
How it works in Attorly
- In a due diligence case, define columns as questions or reuse a saved template, then add contracts as rows.
- Each cell shows the extracted value and the quote it came from, so a reviewer can check it in one click; cells can be re-extracted and commented on.
- Extracted values and their citations are encrypted at rest.
Where it stops
- Tabular Review runs inside due diligence cases, which are part of the Enterprise plan.
- Extraction reads what the document says. It does not decide whether a clause is enforceable; that is a review question.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I extract from scanned contracts?
- Yes. Scanned PDFs and images go through OCR first, so check values from poor scans against the quote.
