Case Study: Cognia Law achieves 40% time savings and 90% accuracy in 2,000‑contract CLM migration with Litera Kira

Cognia Law Leverages Kira for Major Contract Migration Project

Cognia Law, a South African legal services firm, was engaged by pharmaceutical client Clinigen Group to migrate roughly 2,000 legacy contracts into a contract lifecycle management (CLM) system — a process requiring fast, accurate extraction of contract metadata. To meet aggressive timelines and reduce cost, Cognia leveraged Litera Kira’s machine-learning contract review software (Kira).

Using Litera Kira’s built-in provision models, Quick Study and OCR, Cognia rapidly identified, extracted and de-duplicated contract provisions into an upload-ready format; the project achieved ~40% time savings versus manual review and Kira models delivered ~90% accuracy. By combining Litera Kira with Cognia’s expert team and project management, the migration finished ahead of schedule and under budget, delivering centralized contract visibility and measurable time and cost savings.
