“We document contractual risks identified during due diligence in ContractHero, receive alerts, and assign them. This allows us to take proactive measures early on and avoid unnecessary costs.”
Does this sound familiar? Traditional contract review takes weeks—time that could be spent on the deal instead.
In a transaction, the contract portfolio determines the value of the target company. Hidden liability provisions, change-of-control clauses, or automatic renewals often go undetected during a manual review in the data room and end up costing real money after the deal is signed.

Frequently asked questions
How secure is transaction data in ContractHero?
Very secure. ContractHero is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, GDPR-compliant, and hosted exclusively in Germany. Contract data is stored using 256-bit encryption, secured with multi-factor authentication, and automatically backed up daily; granular access control allows you to manage access on a per-data-room and per-user basis. Furthermore, the AI processes contract data exclusively within the EU, without storing it or using it for any other purpose.
Can we import the entire contract portfolio of a target company?
Yes. With bulk import, you can upload the entire data room export all at once, even if it contains hundreds of contracts. The built-in text recognition feature automatically processes scanned legacy contracts and mixed PDF bundles. Metadata such as term, volume, and counterparty are captured in a structured format, allowing you to begin your analysis without any manual preparation.
What clauses does the AI identify during due diligence?
AI contract analysis identifies the clauses that determine the value and risk of a deal. These include change-of-control and special termination rights, liability provisions, contractual penalties, as well as automatic renewals and renewal obligations. Each result is linked to the corresponding section in the original contract via a “Jump-to-Source” feature. This allows you to immediately review each critical clause in context, rather than manually reading through thousands of pages.
How long does contract due diligence take with ContractHero?
A traditional, manual contract review as part of a due diligence process often takes four to eight weeks. With ContractHero, you can upload the entire data room at once via bulk import, and the AI analyzes the contracts in a matter of days. Instead of a sample of five to ten percent, the entire portfolio is evaluated without compromising traceability.
What is the difference between legal due diligence and contract due diligence?
Legal due diligence examines a company’s entire legal situation, including, among other things, corporate law, legal disputes, labor law, and contracts. Contract due diligence is the part of this process that focuses specifically on the company’s contract portfolio. It examines contract terms, termination rights, liability, and change-of-control clauses across the entire portfolio.
What is a change-of-control clause?
A change-of-control clause grants a contracting party special rights—often a right of early termination—as soon as a company changes ownership. In the event of an acquisition, such a clause can result in key customer or supplier contracts being terminated after the closing. Therefore, identifying these clauses early on is a key component of any contract due diligence.
