In their own words
BlackBoiler
BlackBoiler reviews contracts in Microsoft Word by applying an organization’s playbook, previous redlines, approved wording, and examples. It creates first-pass tracked changes and comments; reviewers then accept, modify, reject, escalate, or negotiate each suggestion. Veris provides conversational access to playbooks and contract language within Word. The service covers recurring agreements such as NDAs, service agreements, and subcontracts, plus construction prime contracts, subcontracts, and professional services agreements using AIA, ConsensusDocs, and EJCDC forms. BlackBoiler is aimed at in-house legal teams, law firms, contract managers, and construction legal, commercial, procurement, and project teams. It concentrates on pre-execution review and redlining, while an existing CLM can handle intake, approvals, signatures, and the broader lifecycle. Platforms are web and API. Starter costs $1,250/user/year, Pro costs $3,000/user/year, Enterprise pricing is custom, and a seven-day trial requires a credit card.
