From control to connection: The impact of AI agents in CLM

Overview

This report explores how AI-native CLM, equipped with this Agentic Architecture, can dismantle the walls and replace them with pathways – enabling contracts to operate as engines of intelligence and action in an increasingly connected, volatile world.

The business world has changed. Market disruption, geopolitical uncertainty, and technological transformation are pushing organizations to become more agile, data-driven, and collaborative. In this environment, contracts must evolve. Rather than static documents locked in silos, they must become dynamic assets – tools for coordination, performance, and value creation.Drawing on WorldCC research, academic models, and real-world examples, this report provides a guide for leaders seeking to transform how contracts function – and the value they deliver.
