What is Multi-Document Awareness?
Multi-Document Awareness allows you to select or upload multiple agreements to analyse together in Plexus Counsel. By narrowing Plexus Counsel’s attention to the documents you choose, you can uncover connections, inconsistencies and shared risk across related contracts — without reviewing them side-by-side.
This provides clearer visibility across related agreements and supports more informed, portfolio-level decisions for both legal and business teams. Multi-Document Awareness is particularly useful when:
Comparing clauses across similar agreements
Identifying gaps or inconsistencies
Preparing advice for a matter involving multiple contracts
In addition, it strengthens risk identification across related agreements and supports more defensible, portfolio-level advice.
