Smarter AI for All Comes to Life: How LPS Reimagined NDA Evaluation with Custom Legal AI Assistant

TECHNOLOGY

Company Profile

LPS is the #1 IT services company in Hong Kong and a member of Lenovo Group. Guided by the group's vision of "Smarter AI for All," we build AI solutions designed to work in the real world—and we stand behind them by using them ourselves. One of the first workflows we chose to modernize internally was NDA evaluation: a process where speed and precision both matter, and where even small improvements can unlock meaningful business value.

Challenges

As LPS continues to grow in AI leadership, we recognized an opportunity hiding in plain sight. NDA reviews are essential to how deals move forward, yet they often depend on manual effort, repeated back-and-forth, and institutional knowledge that can be hard to scale. Each agreement requires more than a simple read-through—it demands context, attention to risk, and alignment with internal standards before Sales and GTM teams can confidently proceed.

At the same time, NDAs arrive frequently and under time pressure. When the review process relies too heavily on individual judgment and ad hoc clarification, turnaround slows, recommendations vary, and business teams may lack clarify on which changes are required to move forward. We saw a chance to bring structure and intelligence to the process—making it easier for Legal to focus on the exceptions that truly need expert attention.

Solutions

To address this, LPS developed and deployed LPS Legal AI, an AI-powered assistant purpose-built for NDA evaluation. The workflow begins when Sales or GTM submits an NDA along with a declaration form and relevant case background. From there, the AI steps in to interpret the agreement in context and guide the review toward the issues that matter most.

The assistant examines the declaration form, compares the customer's NDA against LPS standard or template language, and surfaces key differences, irrelevant clauses, and potential risk areas. It then generates structured comments and recommended modifications, all aligned with LPS's established risk mitigation guidance—covering areas like anti-bribery obligations, personal data considerations, and liquidated damages exposure. Legal retains full decision-making authority, using the AI's output to accelerate review, strengthen consistency, and deliver clearer recommendations back to the business.

Value created

LPS Legal AI shortens the distance between NDA submission and actionable legal guidance, making the entire review process more structured, repeatable, and transparent. Sales and GTM teams benefit from faster feedback and fewer clarification cycles, helping them respond to customers more quickly and keep deals moving. Legal teams gain a stronger starting point for every review—one that highlights risks consistently and frees up expert attention for the cases that genuinely require it.

Just as importantly, deploying this solution internally has sharpened both the product and our credibility. By running LPS Legal AI in a live enterprise environment, we continuously learn what works, refine the experience, and validate real business outcomes. The result is a solution grounded in practice, not theory—bringing the promise of "Smarter AI for All" to life one idea at a time.
