Key Terms

intelligent agreement management, iam, ai-driven drafting, rule 10b5-1 trading plan, +2 more

6 terms

intelligent agreement management technical

"Docusign (NASDAQ: DOCU), the world's most trusted Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) company"

Intelligent agreement management is the use of technology to create, track, and oversee contracts automatically and efficiently. It helps ensure that all parties follow the terms, deadlines, and conditions without manual effort, reducing errors and delays. For investors, it offers greater transparency and control over contractual commitments, making business dealings more reliable and streamlined.

iam technical

"Docusign's IAM contract AI platform, enabling legal teams to move from business insights"

Identity and access management (IAM) is the system and policies a company uses to control who can access its digital systems, data and applications—think of it as the set of keys, locks and visitor rules for a building’s computer network. Strong IAM reduces the risk of data breaches, fraud and regulatory fines, so investors pay attention because weaknesses can lead to costly outages, damage to reputation and legal liabilities that affect a company’s value.

ai-driven drafting technical

"reviews and AI-driven drafting, while the Docusign IAM platform connects this to agreement workflows"

AI-driven drafting is the use of artificial intelligence software to create or edit written documents such as press releases, regulatory filings, research summaries, or internal reports. It matters to investors because it can speed up communication, reduce human error, and lower costs—like an autopilot that prepares routine paperwork—while also raising questions about accuracy, oversight and legal compliance that can affect a company’s credibility and regulatory risk.

rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory

"transactions were executed under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan"

A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.

schedule 13g regulatory

"The filing is a Schedule 13G signed on 04/29/2026"

A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.

restricted stock units financial

"The entry references Restricted Stock Units vested on 04/10/2025"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

New capabilities connect legal reasoning with agreement workflows

SAN FRANCISCO, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Docusign (NASDAQ: DOCU), the world's most trusted Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) company, and Harvey, the leading AI platform for legal and professional services, today announced a strategic partnership that connects Harvey's legal reasoning platform with Docusign's IAM contract AI platform, enabling legal teams to move from business insights to action across the full agreement lifecycle.

Together, the two platforms will deliver a seamless solution: Harvey powers legal analysis, cross-jurisdictional research, reviews and AI-driven drafting, while the Docusign IAM platform connects this to agreement workflows across the organization and teams like sales, procurement, HR, and finance.

Eliminate the friction between legal analysis and agreement execution

Legal teams can prompt Harvey to retrieve and analyze specific agreements from Docusign, cross-reference them against applicable law using Harvey's legal databases, and receive grounded, agreement-specific answers without manual document review. When updates are needed, teams can initiate Docusign workflows directly from Harvey to generate, route, and support amendment and approval processes.

When working in Docusign, legal professionals can access Harvey Knowledge directly through the new Docusign Iris assistant. This brings external reasoning directly into the chat interface to help teams review agreements, generate risk summaries, and support approvals in a connected workflow.

"Legal teams shouldn't have to choose between speed and control when it comes to agreements," said Winston Weinberg, CEO of Harvey. "Together, Harvey and Docusign are helping connect legal reasoning with agreement workflows. By connecting the two platforms, we give teams a seamless way to move from AI-powered drafting and analysis to execution, negotiation, and management. That means faster deal cycles without sacrificing the governance and control teams rely on. We're proud to partner with Docusign and excited about the impact this integration will have for our customers."

"The legal teams of more than 1.8 million customers rely on Docusign to create, negotiate, sign, and manage their agreements on our trusted, secure platform," said Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign. "By partnering with Harvey, we're bringing expert legal intelligence directly into Docusign's agreement workflows, so legal teams can not only understand their agreements but use them to power work across the business."

This partnership underscores both companies' commitment to transforming how legal teams manage complex, high-volume transactions.
