Kira is a great due diligence tool and can be well utilised on both large and small transactions. It also has good application if you are looking to compare multiple documents against a model form document or market standard templates. Kira is less useful if you are looking to review emails (e.g. as part of a disclosure exercise); or if your review involves non-Latin based script languages.

Being a non-English-speaking user, although Kira is a very useful tool and has great potential, having to invest many hours in training before being able to effectively use the software in real-life application is by far the greatest drawback. If that initial barrier is surpassed, Kira is very useful for any contract-based law practice. It is not very useful for Brazilian litigation standards.

Well suited for law firms focused on M&A in North America, Canada, or the UK. For firms outside English speaking countries, I believe Kira can be too expensive to be used, once it requires that the firm itself teaches Kira how to read in their language. In our experience, once Kira is ready to go it can be an extremely important and useful asset. However, it takes a lot of time to get it ready to go. And it can make Kira very expensive in countries where English is not the primary language.

Well suited - standard reviews of similar document sets. BAU work where similar documents are repeatedly reviewed. Any large scale review really, just as long as it is managed properly and the limitations are explained.
Less appropriate - Looking for nuanced or complex information that patterns are less likely to be found in. Like doing a general provision for 'Restrictions.'

Kira systems is well suited for the review of contracts and documents relating to due diligence, compliance, labor law matters, lease abstraction, finance and project management, amongst others. Kira is also well suited for comparisons of contracts and documents, a tool our Firm has also utilized. Furthermore, Kira is well suited for exports and project management. Kira is less appropriate for languages such as Mandarin or Arabic. Kira is also less appropriate when dealing with contracts or documents containing less legible content. Though our Firm has not requested training (quick study), the element of training Kira and the pursuit of documents in order to train Kira can also be seen as a hurdle.

  • Well suited to attempts to "map the landscape" and get a high-level view of a large set of diverse documents in a transactional due diligence context.
  • Less suited to attempts to extract and collate structured data from a set of similar documents.

Red flag DD reporting is an obvious example of where Kira works well. You require a defined set of red flags, and reviewers must be comfortable differentiating between true red flags and ambers based on Kira results, but this process can be effectively streamlined and lends itself well to the out of the box trained Kira concepts. Kira is less helpful in niche, practice/market specific scenarios, where out of the box concepts do not exist and training is required. While the training can be performed, it doesn’t allow for the practice to immediately avail of Kira’s best quality.

KIRA is well placed to assist with the review of large sets of documents quickly. Particularly terms that are used and recognized in a number of jurisdictions (USA/Australia/UK), assignment, and change in control. Review documents where terms to review are very specific to the jurisdiction outside the USA, for example, property terms in Australia.

Kira is very strong in the English language and works very well for all Latin script languages. Uploading documents is easy and the project management tool enables us to manage large scale reviews efficiently. We have used this for due diligence exercises and for large scale regulatory reviews. Whilst the core tool is suited to Latin script - the compare function works really well in any language.

Kira Systems is perfect for searching for specific terms within a large number of contracts. It can pull as many terms as you need. Great for if you are searching for a specific term across a multitude of contracts--can then pull down the report and quickly identify which contracts have such terms and easily create a report of issues within terms.

I recommend internally only. Externally the pricing model makes it less attractive to a lot of my colleagues. And there are alternatives that should be investigated (and comparing). The Canadian advantage was lost once the algorithms stopped being trained on Canadian agreements (UK and US are not the same).

Kira is well suited to handle standard M&A due diligence and contract analysis. We're just beginning to explore it to do deal studies and contract management but feel there's a lot of potential to use it for those. We're also exploring ways to use it to enhance our knowledge sharing libraries.
