The challenge
During a portfolio acquisition, Meridian needed more than four hundred commercial leases reviewed for key terms, renewal dates, break clauses and unusual obligations. Doing it manually would have taken their legal team months they did not have before the deal deadline.
What we built
We built a document-processing pipeline that read each lease and produced a consistent, structured summary the team could trust.
- Bulk ingestion of mixed-quality scans and PDFs
- Extraction of rent, term, renewal, break and assignment clauses
- Risk flags for non-standard or missing clauses
- A searchable summary sheet and per-contract one-pager
The result
The full set of contracts was reviewed and summarised in four days. The legal team focused only on the flagged exceptions, the deal team got the risk picture they needed on time, and the structured output became a reusable record for the whole portfolio.
