# Legal Research & Brief Drafting for Contract Managers with Icertis

> AI drafts the research memo against the firm's prior work product, pulls current authority from Ironclad, and produces a cite-checked first draft of the brief — associate refines, doesn't start from zero. Purpose-built for teams running Icertis — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## The Problem

Associates lose entire days in Ironclad hunting for Commercial Contracts case law that supports a narrow argument — and the final brief is still 70% boilerplate.

## What We Build in Icertis

AI drafts the research memo against the firm's prior work product, pulls current authority from Ironclad, and produces a cite-checked first draft of the brief — associate refines, doesn't start from zero. Purpose-built for teams running Icertis — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Icertis Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Icertis configuration.** We map the specific Icertis objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your commercial contracts practice.
2. **Build on the Icertis API or agent.** Integration happens inside Icertis — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Icertis with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
