How long does it actually take Gerri 2.0 to review a contract?

Common Paper claims 90% of contracts are reviewed in 3 minutes or less. That figure applies mainly to routine agreements without complex negotiation. More adversarial contracts with significant redlines will take longer. The processing speed depends partly on contract complexity and your playbook's specificity.

Can Gerri 2.0 replace my in-house legal team?

No. Gerri is a workflow tool that handles redline routing and decision logging. It still needs humans to define the negotiation playbook, approve escalated issues, and make judgment calls on novel terms. For routine contracts, it dramatically reduces legal team hours. For complex deals, it's an accelerant, not a replacement.

What is General Legal and why does the partnership matter?

General Legal is a NewMod (AI-native law firm) that handles contract review on Common Paper's behalf via flat-fee pricing and 4-hour turnaround. The partnership matters because it bridges legal AI with attorney oversight without relying on expensive traditional law firms. This model is likely to replicate across legal tech.
