Legal Document Analysis with Entity Extraction

Extract entities from legal documents, contracts, and court filings. Identify parties, dates, and key terms automatically.

The Problem

Legal professionals spend hours manually reviewing documents to identify parties, dates, locations, and key terms. This manual process is slow, expensive, and prone to human error.

The Solution

Automatically extract parties, dates, locations, and organizations from contracts, court filings, and legal documents. Accelerate due diligence, contract review, and legal research.

Key Benefits

  • Identify all parties mentioned in contracts
  • Extract dates, deadlines, and temporal terms
  • Find location and jurisdiction references
  • Detect organization and company mentions
  • Accelerate due diligence and contract review
  • Build searchable entity indexes for legal databases

Code Example

python
import requests

def analyze_legal_document(document_text):
    """Extract entities from legal documents"""
    response = requests.post(
        "https://api.entity-detector.com/v1/analyze",
        headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
        json={"text": document_text}
    )

    result = response.json()

    return {
        "parties": result["entities"].get("persons", []) +
                   result["entities"].get("organizations", []),
        "locations": result["entities"].get("locations", []),
        "relations": result.get("relations", []),
        "metadata": result.get("meta", {})
    }

# Example: Analyze a contract
contract = """
This Agreement is entered into between Acme Corporation,
a Delaware company ("Seller"), and John Smith ("Buyer"),
effective as of January 15, 2024, regarding property
located at 123 Main Street, San Francisco, California.
"""

analysis = analyze_legal_document(contract)
print(f"Parties: {analysis['parties']}")
print(f"Locations: {analysis['locations']}")
