Overview

Ironclad is a contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform used by legal and business teams to draft, negotiate, and manage contracts with AI assistance. A 2025-2026 shift to an agentic architecture added Jurist, an AI agent for contract review and redlining, a Redlining Agent that flags risky or missing clauses against corporate standards, an Intake Agent, and an AI-powered Upcoming Renewals Dashboard (April 2026). The former "Run AI" feature was renamed Extract Metadata, letting admins specify exact fields and clauses to extract per batch, with human-in-the-loop review queues for flagged extractions. Ironclad passed $200M ARR in early 2026, with Jurist-related revenue growing 6x year-over-year. Note: this consolidates content from a duplicate listing for the same product.

RECATOOLS Verdict

Ironclad is a leading contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform that automates how legal and business teams create, negotiate, sign, and store contracts. Its 2025-2026 shift to agentic AI added Jurist for contract review and redlining — now growing nearly 6x year over year and used by roughly one in three new customers — plus an Intake Agent and an AI-driven renewals dashboard. Ironclad passed $200M in annual recurring revenue in February 2026.

Caveats: this is a substantial enterprise deployment with real implementation effort, change management, and quote-based pricing aimed at organisations rather than small teams — Jurist itself is reportedly a separate six-figure line item. It competes with DocuSign CLM, Icertis and others, so scope your workflows carefully; ASEAN reach is via global cloud and partners rather than local presence.

What people say

Ironclad crossed $200 million in annual recurring revenue in February 2026, and the AI story behind that number is Jurist — the redlining and contract-review agent that grew nearly 6x year over year and now shows up in roughly one in three new customer deals. That's a fast adoption curve for an add-on that didn't exist in its current agentic form a year earlier.

2026 brought a real product expansion, not just a rename: a Redlining Agent that checks drafts against corporate playbooks, an Intake Agent for request triage, an AI-driven Upcoming Renewals Dashboard shipped in April, and Ironclad Assistant tying the agents together with archive-consistency and cost-savings features. The company also hired a new Chief Product Officer, VP of AI and VP of Engineering in the same stretch — a sign it's staffing up for the agentic push rather than treating it as a side project.

None of this comes cheap. Ironclad's base CLM licensing runs an estimated $30,000 to $150,000-plus a year depending on org size, and Jurist itself is reportedly a separate line item worth another $50,000 to $200,000 annually — on top of implementation and integration costs that can push first-year spend past $300,000. Renewals typically carry built-in 5-8% escalators. This is workable math for a mid-market-to-enterprise legal team drowning in contract volume; it's a hard sell for anyone evaluating CLM on a shoestring, and sales-led, quote-only pricing means you won't know the real number until you're deep in a sales cycle. One point of interest for developers: Ironclad's engineering team maintains Rivet, an open-source visual AI programming environment, as a public side project on GitHub.

Summary of public user & expert reviews, compiled by RECATOOLS.

Notable facts

  • Ironclad raised $150 million at a $3.2 billion valuation in 2021, making it one of the highest-valued LegalTech companies in history.
  • The company was co-founded by a lawyer (Jason Boehmig, former Fenwick) and an engineer (Cai GoGwilt, former Stripe), a combination that gave it unusually deep understanding of legal workflow pain.
  • Ironclad's customers report 80% reduction in contract creation time after deployment, primarily by eliminating back-and-forth email and enabling self-service by sales teams.
