26 Clausehound Teaches Young Lawyers to DraftDRAFTING TOOLS THAT YOUNG LAWYERS WILL RELY ON ACCESS TO EXPERT KNOWLEDGE IMMEDIATELY, WITH ZERO WAIT TIME COMPARATIVE LEARNING IS ESSENTIAL CLAUSE BURSTING AND MATCHING PROCESS ACCELERATES LEARNING OF LEGAL CONCEPTS Experience from tasks (and throughout career) is stored on individual user accounts, indexed to contract clauses Case Law Expert commentary and publications are digitized and indexed - “pinpointed” - to contract clauses Deep database of variant clause language assists in the learning process - learning by comparison The time in which unfamiliar clauses are identified and organized has been accelerated by 85% I feel that my knowledge of legal concepts within a contract has increased as well. Looking at different contracts and variations of a type of contract has made me more attentive to ways that a client can be protected. – Clausehound research analyst

27 The Tacit Knowledge Transfer ProblemLegal drafting and negotiating is scenario-based, and negotiating points are “tacitly”-held knowledge Explicit Assets Formal corporate assets Includes: patents, reports, templates and datasets Tacit Assets Informal assets that are based on human experience Mentoring, training and a knowledge-sharing culture A major challenge that firms encounter is transforming their tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge. A great deal of organizational knowledge remains tacit as it cannot be efficiently downloaded from experts, and organized/onboarded to new people dealing with a matter Being able to convert tacit knowledge to express knowledge is a source of competitive advantage for a learning institution
