Case Study: MinterEllison achieves same-day contract turnaround and cost-saving efficiency with Onit Precedent (ReviewAI & ExtractAI)

MinterEllison Delivers Client Value with Contract A

MinterEllison, Australia’s largest law firm, faced high-volume contract review and due diligence challenges—managing wildly varying subcontractor agreements, meeting fixed-fee profitability constraints, and ensuring consistency with firm and client standards. To address this, the firm partnered with Onit and adopted the Precedent AI platform, specifically Onit’s ReviewAI and ExtractAI, because the vendor offered a collaborative, tailored approach rather than an off-the-shelf tool.

Onit implemented ReviewAI and ExtractAI to extract clause data, compare contracts against firm baselines, automate redlines and guide responses, enabling MinterEllison to process 20+ subcontractor contracts weekly and move from 1–2 day turnarounds to same-day responses. The solution freed senior lawyers from routine reviews, allowed junior lawyers and paralegals to handle first passes, and delivered measurable gains (ReviewAI reports 60–70% faster approvals and a 51.5% increase in user productivity), plus cost savings and scalable compliance reviews (hundreds of product disclosure statements processed).
