Hunting adopts Legalfly AI to standardise contracts

Hunting has selected Legalfly's legal AI platform for its in-house legal and procurement teams as the energy services group looks to standardise contract work and speed up responses to internal stakeholders.

The London-listed company operates across multiple energy regions and supplies components and systems to the oil and gas industry. Its legal function manages commercial contracts and compliance requirements across several jurisdictions.

Legalfly describes its product as a secure legal AI associate and legal operating system for corporates. Hunting plans to use it as a central workspace for reviewing and drafting contracts, and for maintaining consistent playbooks across teams.

Contract focus

Hunting handles contracts that carry safety and regulatory obligations across regions. It expects the platform to cut time spent on repeatable legal work and improve consistency in contract review.

Both companies say the platform can provide answers to business users based on verified sources. Legalfly says sensitive data is anonymised by default before processing begins.

Legalfly positions its workflows as "AI-native" for intake, contract review, drafting, due diligence and research. Hunting's in-house teams plan to use the system to assess contracts and identify key risks during review.

Allyson Miller, Hunting's general counsel, said the decision reflects the demands on a legal team supporting operations across borders and regulatory regimes.

"At Hunting, our legal team supports a business that operates across multiple regions, partners and regulatory regimes. We needed a solution that could keep pace with that complexity without compromising on security or quality," Miller said.

Miller described the platform as an AI workspace for in-house teams and cited time savings in contract review and risk identification. She also highlighted the ability to trace outputs back to source material during the review process.

"Legalfly gives us an AI workspace built for in-house teams. Our lawyers can review contracts, apply our playbooks and surface key risks in minutes, while always seeing the underlying sources. It lets us focus more time on strategic matters and support the business where it counts most. Legalfly gives our legal team a single, secure environment to support colleagues in every region and focus more of our time on strategic work," Miller said.

Governance issues

Adoption of generative AI tools in legal and procurement has increased as organisations look for faster ways to deal with rising contract volumes and growing compliance requirements. Corporate legal departments have raised governance questions about preventing confidential information from being exposed through third-party systems, and about validating outputs used in decision-making.

Legalfly has emphasised anonymisation of sensitive data as a security measure and points to verified sources as part of its approach to answering internal queries.

Ruben Miessen, Legalfly's chief executive, said industrial companies are embedding AI in operational workflows and that regulated environments raise expectations for consistency and trusted sources.

"Hunting is a great example of how leading industrial companies are bringing AI into their core operations in a deliberate and pragmatic way. Operating in one of the most complex and highly regulated industrial environments in the world, its legal teams need speed, consistency and absolute trust in their sources, which is precisely what LEGALFLY is built to deliver," Miessen said.

Company background

Legalfly was founded in Belgium in 2023 and targets in-house legal, compliance and procurement teams. It lists SAP, Lufthansa, AXA, KPMG and Bosch among its users.

It has raised more than €17 million from investors including Notion Capital, redalpine and Fortino Capital.

Hunting designs and manufactures components and systems for the oil and gas sector and operates in several energy regions. Its legal team supports the business on commercial contracting, risk and compliance across jurisdictions, and the new legal workspace will be used across its in-house legal and procurement teams.
