Transactional skills
There are 3 skills in CoCounsel's "Transactional" category, but each of the following skills may be helpful for common transactional tasks.
Extract Contract Data
You can use this skill to ask CoCounsel questions about a set of contracts. CoCounsel will identify and extract the relevant clauses from each contract that address your questions. It will then prepare a table containing answers to your questions about each uploaded contract. The AI will show you where it found the answer to each of your questions by identifying the specific language in each contract that is responsive to your questions

Contract Policy Compliance
This skill can be used to determine whether a contract complies with a specific policy or set of policies. CoCounsel will analyze a set of contracts for compliance with the policies that you describe and will then summarize its findings in a memo. CoCounsel’s memo will identify and explain any discrepancies between the policies you entered and any contractual clauses. In addition, CoCounsel will explain any risks presented by any contractual clauses and propose edits to those clauses to ensure compliance with the policies at issue.

Market Check
During transactions, parties need to determine the current industry standard, precedent, or market trend for a certain contract term, provision, or clause. CoCounsel’s Market Check skill quickly analyzes a database of contracts to identify trending terms so that lawyers can immediately draft, negotiate, and redline with confidence. Market Check uses Casetext’s AllSearch database technology. You may create and search databases of your trusted contracts for trending terms, or search trending terms in a large, representative set of publicly available transaction documents from the SEC’s EDGAR database.

Search a Database

The memo will include excerpts from each document that CoCounsel identifies as relevant, with hyperlinks to each document.
