Imerys achieves over 90% cost-savings on external counsel with Luminance AI contract management
Imerys's 15-year-old contract management solution had become unviable, lawyers were burdened with low-value work such as NDAs causing slow turnaround times, and the company had never analyzed its contracts as an ecosystem to understand trends or enforce drafting consistency.
The legacy contract management solution in place for about 15 years was no longer viable, forcing Imerys to seek a replacement with AI capabilities.
Imerys achieved over 90% cost-savings on external counsel, 30x quicker reporting with instant access to key information, and a sub-one-hour response time to legal queries, while empowering business users to handle NDAs and freeing lawyers for high-value work.
