ClearyX, the tech-driven alternative legal service provider launched by Cleary Gottlieb, introduced CX+ on April 15, 2026—a modular platform for automating contract analysis and streamlining due diligence workflows for law firms and in-house teams.
- CX+Insights processes and analyzes contract portfolios, aiming to deliver actionable intelligence for in-house legal teams and compliance professionals.
- CX+Transact leverages AI to accelerate deal diligence, extracting and summarizing key contract data points at scale.
The system offers configurable APIs for integration with leading document management (DMS) and contract lifecycle management (CLM) tech stacks, aiming to fit within clients’ existing technology environments. According to ClearyX, its model-agnostic design enables use of best-in-breed AI engines.
CX+ was co-developed alongside senior in-house legal operations professionals. ClearyX CEO Carla Swansburg stated, "CX+ was shaped by end-user feedback to address the real challenges legal and deal teams face daily." Internal metrics show over 150 due diligence projects completed with the system, reportedly realizing 40-60% time and cost savings versus manual approaches.
Legal industry analysts note the broader context: ALSP adoption of AI tools is intensifying, "reshaping expectations for project speed, accuracy, and pricing," said Danielle Halstrom, Principal Analyst at LegalTech News. Companies and law firms report greater willingness to rely on ALSPs for managed AI review as trust in these offerings rises.
"Delivering client value increasingly means bringing AI into routine processes," added Michael Gerstenzang, Cleary Gottlieb Senior Partner and ClearyX founder.
By the numbers:
- 40-60% — Estimated time and cost savings by ClearyX CX+ users since launch
- 150 — Number of due diligence projects completed using the platform
Yes, but: Independent industry analysts caution that integration complexity and data security remain top concerns for legal teams adopting AI-driven workflows.
What's next: ClearyX plans to expand CX+ functionality to additional transactional use cases over the next 12 months.
