BlackBoiler
Brambleton, Virginia, United States
What it is
BlackBoiler is a paid web and API document-review tool for legal and contract teams. It uses an organization’s playbook, previous redlines, approved language, and examples to prepare first-pass tracked changes and comments in Microsoft Word. Reviewers can accept, alter, reject, escalate, or negotiate each proposed edit. Veris provides conversational access to playbooks and contract language inside Word. The service references recurring agreement types such as NDAs, service agreements, and subcontracts, and its construction offering covers prime contracts, subcontracts, and professional services agreements using AIA, ConsensusDocs, and EJCDC forms. A trial page lists 2,500 prebuilt rules. BlackBoiler focuses on review before execution, while an existing CLM can manage intake, approvals, signatures, and the broader lifecycle. Enterprise access lists SSO and API options. BlackBoiler states that it is SOC 2 Type II certified, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and does not use customer data to train models shared with other customers. Starter is $1,250/user/yr and Pro is $3,000/user/yr; a seven-day trial requires a credit card.
