## About Henchman
Your legal knowledge base, right at your fingertips Legal professionals rarely start from scratch when drafting contracts or negotiating details. They spend at least 60 minutes searching through old contracts or consulting colleagues for relevant precedents. Henchman centralizes past clauses and definitions from any legal team&#39;s contract database and delivers them intelligently in lawyers&#39; familiar Microsoft Word or Outlook environments. This eliminates time-consuming tasks and allows lawyers to focus on adding value and expertise.




## Henchman Reviews
  ### 1. Amazing tool. Henchman facilitates drafting on another level.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2022

**What do you like best about Henchman?**

Henchman allows you to recover your own accumulated knowledge in a very easy and clear way in order to implement it in drafting. The tool is also built in a very user-friendly way and clearly takes into account the most important elements of legal drafting.

**What do you dislike about Henchman?**

None. There are no elements about Henchman that I don't like. Henchman has significantly improved the speed of contract drafting, and as lawyers, our goal is always to increase the efficiency and quality of our contract drafting. This also allows us to free up time for interactions with clients.

**What problems is Henchman solving and how is that benefiting you?**

By no longer having to search through documents where a lot of time is wasted looking for specific information from a specific case that you or your colleague for some reason can no longer access. In the process, many frustrations are eliminated and time is saved.

  ### 2. Great tool which makes a day at the office more efficient!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Business Supplies and Equipment | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Henchman?**

Most practical part is that it is a Word add-in and you can search on individual terms, without having to go to each separate contract to find the clause you're looking for.

**What do you dislike about Henchman?**

I find that it is sensitive to capitals and that you can get the same clause as a result multiple times (because the same clause is used in different contracts).

**What problems is Henchman solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It makes a day at the office more efficient. You win time when drafting or reviewing a contract, because you don't have to research your database contract per contract any longer in order to find out where you have used a certain clause in the past. You just see them all at once using the tool.

  ### 3. A really helpful and intuitive tool to simplify contracting

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lotte K. | Associate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2022

**What do you like best about Henchman?**

Henchman is a really helpful when drafting contracts since it allows you to expand your database to any potentially relevant clauses previously used by your coworkers, all while still being time efficient and highly intuitive.

**What do you dislike about Henchman?**

I have not come across downsides of using Henchman yet.

**What problems is Henchman solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Henchman has helped me as a (junior) associate to independently draft contracts without constantly having to ask more experienced coworkers to provide examples of certain specific clauses.

  ### 4. Lawyer's tool to improved efficiency and quality

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Henchman?**

Henchman is strong in its simplicity. You don't need long manuals to learn how to work with Henchman. In particular, the division between 'Clauses' and 'Definitions' is very useful for efficient and targeted research of the envisaged legal provisions.

**What do you dislike about Henchman?**

No real drawbacks to the Henchman tool. I must confess that I often forget to use the advanced filters which can even further enhance efficiency in our daily drafting practice.

**What problems is Henchman solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Before Henchman, I had to scroll through sharepoint to search for appropriate clauses I encountered in the past, hoping I could remember the right file. With Henchman, I am more productive and efficient and can better focus on the real complexities in a particular agreement/case. The positive side effect of these advantages is that I deliver more qualitative work, since I can invest more time on the legal issues.

  ### 5. Review your contracts with ease

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Business Supplies and Equipment | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Henchman?**

Henchman helps our legal team to draft and review contracts in an efficient way with high
consistency and uniformity. The search functionality is really helpful when you've seen a similar clause in the past but can't remember in what contract.

**What do you dislike about Henchman?**

We receive a lot of contracts in PDF-format, here we cannot make use of Henchman (it does search in these documents, which is nice)

**What problems is Henchman solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No more frustrations when you cannot remember in which agreement you've seen a specific clause, but you do remember some keywords.
Henchman to the rescue. Henchman helps us to be more consistent in the use of clauses.

  ### 6. Sometimes not working

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2022

It helps us draft faster without losing time having to look up wording from previously written
contracts. Besides, it supports us to ensure a certain level of consistency and quality in contract
drafting across the firm. Everybody at XX is working to achieve the best quality of service and
we want people to spend their time optimally. And Henchman allows us to support our
employees in doing so

**What do you dislike about Henchman?**

There are no template clauses and articles................... 
Sometimes the application does not work..................
It can not process pdf-files.........................

**What problems is Henchman solving and how is that benefiting you?**

By not having to search documents or bother each other for specific information anymore, we
managed to eliminate a lot of frustrations and save time. With Henchman, we turned our
existing database into a living knowledge management system and free up time for more added
value work!
