CLM software

Hyperlex alternative: Docform, a standalone French CLM powered by AI

Hyperlex was one of the first French CLMs to bet on AI. Since its acquisition by DiliTrust in 2022, its technology lives inside a broader legal governance suite. Docform offers a standalone CLM, with AI at every step.

In short : Hyperlex

Hyperlex is a French contract management vendor founded in 2017, known for machine-learning contract analysis: sorting, indexing, data extraction and key-date alerts. In July 2022, DiliTrust announced its acquisition; the Hyperlex technology joined the DiliTrust Governance Suite, which also includes a board portal, entity management and litigation management. In February 2025, DiliTrust also acquired PACTA. The hyperlex.ai website now redirects to dilitrust.com. Pricing is not published.

What it does well

Recognized expertise in contract data extraction and analysis of existing portfolios.
The backing of DiliTrust, an established vendor for the legal departments of large groups.
A wider scope, beyond contracts, for those seeking a complete governance suite.

What to check before choosing

Hyperlex is no longer a standalone product: the CLM comes within the DiliTrust suite, whose scope and commercial model go beyond contract management.
Prices are not published.
E-signature goes through third-party providers of your choice (DocuSign, Yousign, Adobe Sign, HelloSign, UniverSign, Connective); negotiation works with suggestions and comments.

What Docform brings

A complete, standalone CLM: from drafting with your templates to post-signature tracking, with no suite to adopt.
A native eIDAS-compliant e-signature and a negotiation portal for the counterparty.
The same AI extraction on import, with a link to the source clause for every extracted data point.
Support for SMEs and mid-market companies, with a rollout by scope.

Frequently asked questions

Does Hyperlex still exist as an independent product?: Hyperlex was acquired by DiliTrust in July 2022 and its technology was integrated into the DiliTrust Governance Suite. The hyperlex.ai website now redirects to dilitrust.com; contract management is available within the suite.
Does Docform take over contracts already analyzed in Hyperlex?: Yes. Contracts are bulk-imported (PDF, scans, Word) and Docform’s AI extracts parties, dates, durations, notice periods and deadlines again, with a link to the source clause to validate each data point.
What is the difference between a standalone CLM and a governance suite?: A suite bundles board, entities, litigation and contracts in one subscription. A dedicated CLM covers the contract lifecycle only; a suite also covers governance: the choice depends on the scope you are looking for.
