Ironclad is a contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform, founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco, that covers the full contract process: templated creation and intake, AI-assisted review and redlining, approval workflows, e-signature, and post-signature storage and analytics.
Ironclad's AI features (branded "Ironclad AI") sit on top of its existing CLM workflow engine, adding contract summarization, clause and risk flagging, and drafting assistance for legal and business teams working outside the legal department (e.g., sales and procurement) as well as for lawyers.
The company targets primarily in-house legal, procurement, and sales-operations teams at mid-size to large enterprises, rather than law firms, since CLM tools are typically bought by the contract-originating business rather than outside counsel.
Ironclad does not publish list pricing; deals are quoted based on contract volume, user count, and feature tier.
