Definely review
A focused Word-based suite for precise contract checking, comparison, and analysis.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Definely is a legal technology suite for law firms and in-house legal teams reviewing complex contracts. Its tools operate inside Microsoft Word and support Microsoft Word and PDF documents, combining contract navigation, proofreading, precedent research, comparison, and AI analysis. The suite includes Read, Proof, Vault, Cascade, and Enhance, with a focus on helping legal professionals inspect contractual language and related references more precisely.
Its strongest fit is the Microsoft Word-centered review workflow. Users can navigate definitions and cross-references, check formatting, placeholders, comments, and defined terms, and generate issues lists from tracked changes, comments, and markups. Definely also supports natural-language contract analysis with contextual references, while AI impact analysis can examine how changes affect clauses, definitions, and references. For teams working from established precedents, connected repositories can support clause and definition search, and redline comparison can compare drafted and precedent clauses.
Platform fit is broad for a Word-based product: Definely lists Windows, macOS, and API support, with integrations for Microsoft Word, iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, and document management systems. Enterprise customers can choose cloud or local deployment options. According to the vendor’s pricing model, purchasing is handled through contact with sales, which suits firms evaluating an enterprise legal workflow more than buyers seeking a simple self-serve subscription. Definely should appeal to Word-focused legal teams that need detailed document checking and cross-reference analysis; teams looking for a lighter, standalone review tool or a publicly listed plan may prefer an alternative.
