Description of Gavel Exec

Gavel Exec is the contract review product of Gavel, the trading name of Documate, Inc. Gavel also sells a separate document automation product called Gavel Workflows, and its site says Gavel has been acquired by Relativity. Gavel Exec is aimed at lawyers and legal teams who review and negotiate commercial agreements.

It works inside Microsoft Word and in a browser. It produces a first-pass review that applies your standards and flags key issues, then creates suggested redlines and negotiation-ready comments directly in the document. It can draft new clauses or rewrite existing ones to match preferred fallback positions, run built-in or custom playbooks so positions stay consistent across matters, and compare clause wording with market data to point out off-market terms.

Each user starts with 25 free queries in a shared workspace during the trial, and no credit card is required. The paid plan is $160 per month per user, or $1,740 per user per year, and includes 1,000 completions a month. The site says team pricing exists for ten or more seats. The pricing page also shows Gavel Workflows prices, which are a different product.

On security, the vendor says Gavel Exec is SOC 2 Type II certified and that a zero data retention policy is contractually enforced. Detailed security and privacy documents are available on request through a demo.

AI contract review is a first pass. Output can be incomplete or wrong, so a qualified lawyer should check any contract with real legal or financial consequences. This page does not give legal advice.

Can a general AI assistant replace it? A general chatbot can summarise a clause. Gavel Exec adds Word redlines, playbooks and market comparisons. It still needs a lawyer's review.
