Скачать или смотреть Global Legal Templates: Our AI Experiment on Standardization

We conducted an experiment using Google's NotebookLM to generate a podcast based on our article, "Designing Global Contract Templates."

The result is a good approximation, but reveals the limitations of current AI in interpreting text nuances. We invite you to hear the AI-generated recording and read our full article.

The Standardization Challenge
For multinational operations, contract standardization is vital for efficiency and risk management. However, relying on templates drafted under a single jurisdiction's law—often simply translated—is inherently flawed and inefficient.

• Problem 1: Many specific legal concepts lack direct, functional equivalents across jurisdictions.
• Problem 2: Direct translation compromises legal meaning and intent.
Our Top-Down Solution

We propose overcoming these issues with a top-down approach to contract design, enabling standardization without sacrificing local applicability.
This method relies on two core principles:

1. Modular Building Blocks: Constructing contracts from universally standardized components.

2. Points of Convergence and Divergence: Including clauses specifically designed for local adaptation based on common legal approach across languages (roman languages, germanic laguages, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese etc) and legal frameworks (common law, civil etc).

We welcome your opinion: How do you balance the need for global standardization against local legal compliance in your practice? Share your insights below.
