Unlocking the Power of AI in Legacy Contract Migration with Samir Bhatia

In this episode, Samir Bhatia, CEO of Brightleaf Solutions, talks about his journey and how his company uses AI to improve contract management. Brightleaf first worked with law firms, but under Samir's leadership, the focus shifted to helping corporates manage large volumes of contracts. Their first big client was British Telecom, and since then, Brightleaf has built powerful AI software to extract important information from contracts, which is then carefully reviewed by people to ensure accuracy. The conversation covers the main challenges of legacy document migration, including bringing contracts together in one place, organizing them by type (such as NDAs and MSAs), linking related documents, and cleaning up data. Samir stresses the need to balance AI automation with human oversight and shares best practices such as creating a clear playbook, processing data in batches, and preparing it for CLM systems.
