ClearyX conducted legal due diligence for a client’s potential investment in an FMCG company, reviewing 328 documents across multiple languages within two weeks. The engagement evolved from standard review to comprehensive antitrust assessment for Vertical Block Exemption Regulation eligibility, delivering Excel grids, document summaries, and a red flag memo while achieving $50,000 in cost savings.
The deal presented significant challenges due to document variability, scope changes, and tight timelines. Initially requiring cursory antitrust review, it evolved into comprehensive assessment of transaction agreements for Vertical Block Exemption Regulation eligibility – an area outside the team’s expertise requiring extensive upskilling. Substantial memo drafting demanded manual intervention from skilled analysts under compressed deadlines.
To maintain cost-effectiveness and meet deadlines, AI handled primary due diligence, including document scoping and subject matter grids. All English and French documents underwent 100% human verification, with focused attention on key provisions. For antitrust review, refined AI prompts surfaced relevant concepts through safeguarded workflows. Memos were drafted manually with limited AI assistance for grammar checks.
