Corporate legal work runs on contracts — and the teams that review, negotiate, and close them faster win more business. August Academy: Corporate teaches commercial lawyers how to use AI to eliminate the busywork between first-pass review and final signature, without changing the tools or workflows they already rely on.

You'll learn how to use Tabular Review to upload an entire set of commercial agreements and extract key terms into a structured comparison table — surfacing risks across every contract in minutes rather than days. You'll also learn how to use August's Playbooks to walk into every negotiation call prepared: with open issues categorized, your preferred positions outlined, fallback options ready, and talking points drafted.

The training also covers post-signing execution — how to use August to build closing checklists tied to the effective date, extract post-signing obligations, and make sure nothing falls through between execution and close. For corporate teams looking to take on more client work without adding headcount, this course is the practical starting point.
