Case Study: Dentons achieves rapid, remote COVID-19 lease reviews and 10-hour time savings with Luminance

Identification on Force Majeure In Lease Agreements

Dentons’ Madrid office used Luminance Diligence to run a COVID-19–focused review of real estate lease agreements. A four‑lawyer team, quarantined and without access to physical files, needed to determine quickly whether tenants could terminate leases or stop paying rent under potential Force Majeure provisions.

Luminance was deployed via the cloud within hours and Dentons uploaded 100+ documents; its supervised and unsupervised machine learning instantly organized the data, surfaced termination and restoration clauses and flagged an unexpected force majeure clause on day one. Using Luminance’s clause‑compliance tools and collaboration features, Dentons completed the review in two days—cutting 10 hours off the total review time—while enabling remote teamwork, multilingual analysis and a rapid, evidence‑based assessment of COVID‑19 contractual risk.
