- New AI-powered features are now available in Portuguese and Spanish, designed to optimize contract workflows.
- Integration of conversational AI into DocuSign's Intelligent Contract Management platform to analyze contracts, suggest edits, and create manuals.
DocuSign has just launched two new AI-powered features that will simplify contract management for companies in Latin America. Developed with the DocuSign Iris AI engine for contracts and integrated directly into the DocuSign IAM platform, the new features are designed to help legal teams review contracts more quickly and ensure business continuity throughout the contracting process. AI-powered contract review assistant it's the centralized collaboration hub They address a common challenge: the drafting, review, and editing of a large volume of contracts.
“Most organizations still manage contracts using various disconnected tools and manual reviews. Building and maintaining consistency in this context requires considerable effort and often results in inefficiency,” says Christiano Lucena, GVP and general manager of DocuSign LATAM. “Now, we are bringing new AI capabilities to help companies in Latin America simplify contract workflows and achieve better results with optimized processes and greater visibility.”.
The new contract review assistant DocuSign, now available in Portuguese and Spanish, can quickly understand contracts and highlight key terms, risks, and deviations, generating edits based on the company's internal guidelines in seconds. Reviewers can apply these suggestions with a click, and these actions are integrated directly into the contract workflow, connecting all the company's teams (legal, sales, purchasing, HR).
This simplified collaboration is guaranteed by centralized collaboration hub With artificial intelligence that brings together all stakeholders, it facilitates the request, tracking, and management of contract-related tasks. It provides complete visibility among stakeholders, helps teams assign and route work efficiently, and facilitates real-time collaboration between legal, sales, and purchasing departments—so that no one is left in the dark about the progress of the process.
Resolving the backlog of contracts to comply with the Tax Reform.
These new AI-powered resources will also help organizations address Brazilian issues, particularly those related to the recent Tax Reform, in effect since the beginning of 2026. Starting in January, organizations of all sizes need to adapt their contracts to meet the new tax requirements. Consequently, existing contracts, structured under outdated tax rules, will quickly become legal and financial liabilities, representing an unprecedented operational challenge.
To prepare for the new scenario, companies can rely on the DocuSign platform to manage contracts, extract critical data from documents, and plan renegotiations, allowing Legal, Tax, and Finance teams to act proactively and prepare for the contractual burden associated with the Tax Reform.
“Now is the time to map out the critical clauses and obligations to adapt to the new Tax Reform. Organizations that start early and take advantage of contract automation with DocuSign are more likely to avoid disputes with clients and suppliers, as well as avoid compliance issues,” adds Lucena.
DocuSign IAM: How Review and Collaboration Work
With the new contract review assistant and DocuSign collaboration hub, legal experts take control and easily connect with key stakeholders across different business areas. With the new experience, users can:
- Quickly understand what matters in a contract.The assistant analyzes the contracts and highlights the main terms, risks, and deviations based on company standards and previous negotiations.
- Get answers without having to search through pages: Legal teams can ask questions like "Does this contract renew automatically?" and receive answers with links to the exact terms of the contract.
- Streamline editing and negotiations: The assistant can suggest changes, generate edits, and draft new contractual texts for reviewers' evaluation.
- Ensure that contracts comply with company standards: Contracts can be automatically compared to company manuals to flag terms that do not comply with policies.
- Create manuals faster: If a company doesn't have a manual, teams can upload a template or reference document and automatically draft a structured manual to guide future revisions.
- Move faster from request to signature: Accelerate the entire contracting process with automation and AI, streamlining data entry, document generation, review, and approvals.
- Bring the teams together with complete visibility: Bring all stakeholders together in a central hub, making it easy to request, track, and manage contract-related tasks. Monitor all contract-related activities in one central hub, allowing teams to collaborate directly from wherever they prefer to work.
- Maximize value, minimize risk: Manage all models centrally to strengthen version control, maintain a clear audit history, and use AI to review contracts against manuals.
