Press Release
Henchman is Legal AI Supplier of the Year & welcomes Deloitte in the same month
Both announcements are additional ripples in the continued wave of momentum the company has generated these past months, from achieving 1300% growth to partnering with Morae Global Corporation.
November 29, 2023 – Henchman, the fastest contract drafting & negotiation experience ever made, welcomed Deloitte as one of its clients, enhancing Deloitte’s legal services capabilities through Hechman’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered contract drafting and negotiation software. Henchman adds an intelligent layer on top of Deloitte’s existing contract database, making it ideal for their legal professionals to tap into the team’s collective expertise.
Furthermore, the company last week won the Legal AI Supplier of the Year Award at the 2023 NetLaw Media Annual British Legal Technology Awards, on a night that celebrated 12 winners in total.
Both the award as well as Deloitte’s seal of approval are a testament to Henchman’s mission of delivering the most user-friendly contract drafting experience with the quickest time to value for legal professionals – both for small and large legal organizations across the globe.
Anaïs De Boulle, Legal Director at Deloitte, expressed her enthusiasm for the addition to their legal tech stack, stating, “In today’s fast-paced business environment, delivering timely and precise legal services is crucial. We believe that Henchman’s solution will significantly enhance our ability to assist clients in navigating complex legal challenges efficiently and securely. This implementation underscores our commitment to providing clients with the best-in-class services. Furthermore, attracting and retaining top talent is paramount in our industry. Henchman’s innovative approach not only elevates our service delivery but also serves as a differentiator in our ability to attract and retain the brightest legal minds, ensuring a dynamic and forward-thinking team dedicated to our clients’ success.”

- Launched Henchman AI as well as contract reviewing and negotiation capabilities – both complementing the core product offering in an effort to unlock any legal team’s collective knowledge.
- Rolled out its multi-LLM approach, making Henchman a unique player in the contract drafting space that is capable of operating fully independently of large AI corporations.
