Ironclad
Enterprise contract lifecycle management with specialised AI agents
Overview
Ironclad is a San Francisco contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform used by legal, procurement and sales teams to draft, negotiate, sign and track contracts. Its AI layer centres on Ironclad Agent, a conversational front end, plus specialised agents including Contract Review Agent (formerly Jurist) for playbook-based redlining. Pricing is by custom quote, with agents billed in AI Credits since September 2026.

Use cases
What you can produce with Ironclad
- Draft, negotiate, sign and store contracts in one CLM
- Build approval and routing workflows without code, or describe them to the Workflow Designer Agent
- First-pass redlines from playbooks or precedent with Contract Review Agent
- Plain-language questions across the contract repository through Ironclad Agent
- Intake forms pre-filled from third-party paper by the Intake Agent
- Renewal briefs on upcoming vendor renewals from the Renewal Agent
- Contract review inside Microsoft Word with the Word add-in
Ironclad is a mature enterprise CLM: a no-code workflow designer, a Word add-in and a contract repository, now topped by Ironclad Agent and Contract Review Agent, the renamed Jurist, for first-pass redlines against playbooks. Gartner and Forrester both rated it a CLM leader in 2025.
The caveats are cost opacity and fit. Pricing is quote-only, agent use draws on AI Credits at unpublished rates, and implementation is a real project. With partners only in North America and EMEA and production on US-hosted Google Cloud, buyers in Southeast Asia should check data-residency and support terms first.
What we found
Ironclad is a contract lifecycle management platform for legal, procurement and sales teams. Attorney Jason Boehmig and engineer Cai Wangwilt started it in 2014, it came out of Y Combinator, and it is based in San Francisco. Dan Springer, formerly DocuSign's chief executive, became CEO in 2025. In February 2026 the company said it had passed $200 million in annual recurring revenue, its own unaudited figure; it is private and was last valued at $3.2 billion in a 2022 funding round.
Ironclad renamed and reorganised its AI layer during 2026. Jurist is now called Contract Review Agent; Ironclad says its revenue grew nearly sixfold year on year and that about one in three new customers adopted it. It produces first-pass redlines from approved playbooks or precedent contracts, flags risk and drafts language, with each suggested edit shown as a tracked change carrying an explanation and a risk level. The conversational front end launched as Ironclad Assistant in March and is now Ironclad Agent, and in October Ironclad added a contract knowledge graph and a Workflow Designer Agent. Other agents handle intake, archiving, renewals, contract families and analytics.
Pricing is not published. The pricing page offers only a custom quote, and since 1 September 2026 the specialised agents have drawn on AI Credits: some editions include credits and more can be bought, while Contract Review Agent is charged by the number of users with access. Third-party estimates of five- and six-figure annual costs circulate widely, but they come from competitors and pricing aggregators, not from Ironclad, and earlier versions of this page repeated them.
For a large legal team, the draw is a no-code workflow designer, a Word add-in and playbook-driven review, and Gartner and Forrester both placed Ironclad among CLM leaders in 2025. Smaller teams face a sales-led purchase and real implementation work. Its partner directory covers only North America and EMEA, and production runs on Google Cloud in the US.

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.
