Written by STP Group | Aug 27, 2025 11:35:20 AM

Introduction

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are complex, high-stakes transactions. One of the most time-consuming and critical parts of the process is due diligence, specifically reviewing and analyzing contracts. What if your legal team could use AI for M&A due diligence and complete comprehensive contract analysis in days without missing a single risk? With the rise of AI for M&A due diligence, that future is already here.

The Challenge

M&A due diligence requires reviewing thousands of contracts for potential risks, liabilities, and compliance issues. This process is often slow and resource-intensive, making it difficult to stay on track. The longer it takes to complete due diligence, the greater the risk of missed opportunities or the deal falling through. Legal teams are under immense pressure to perform due diligence quickly and accurately. 

Even experienced legal teams can miss critical obligations or hidden clauses when racing against tight deadlines. There is a growing demand for AI-powered contract intelligence for mergers that ensures speed without sacrificing accuracy.
