Case Study: AMD accelerates contract review and negotiation with Luminance

AMD - Customer Case Study

AMD, a U.S.-based semiconductor company with 28,000+ employees, was handling a very high volume of legal work across its small in-house team, including around 2,500 NDAs and 300–400 commercial agreements each year. The legal department needed a way to speed up contract review, flag risk areas, and automate routine mark-up work, especially for third-party NDAs and software licenses. AMD selected Luminance after evaluating several auto mark-up tools.

With Luminance’s Legal-Grade AI, AMD automated first-pass contract review, issue spotting, classification, and summarization so lawyers and paralegals could focus on higher-value negotiation. The team said Luminance was “far above the competition” and that it could perform as well as a paralegal in identifying risks, helping them move faster and potentially green-light routine software licenses with less legal involvement. AMD also uses Luminance as a searchable knowledge base for past clauses, reducing time spent hunting for prior work.
