work directly with counterparties to define contract terms and resolve

Robust playbooks and artificial intelligence can flag situations
when a legal expert needs to get involved – for example, because

for deviations from your risk standards. And a "smart" contract
repository will facilitate both search for relevant information and good
contract management. ILTA
