CobbleStone Software’s VISDOM® Wins 2025 LegalOps Award for Innovation

CobbleStone Software has been awarded the prestigious title of “LegalOps Solution of the Year” for its innovative VISDOM® platform at the 2025 LegalTech Breakthrough Awards. This recognition highlights the company’s significant contributions to the legal technology landscape, particularly in contract lifecycle management (CLM).

The award was announced on November 21, 2025, during an annual program that honors companies and products revolutionizing the global legal industry. CobbleStone’s VISDOM platform integrates advanced technologies such as generative artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and analytics, empowering legal professionals to manage contracts efficiently and effectively.

Innovative Features of VISDOM

The VISDOM+® AI solution, built on OpenAI technology, allows users to generate contract clauses on demand, assess risks, and analyze sentiment. This functionality enables legal teams to draft and review contracts with heightened precision, identifying potential issues such as indemnification clauses or hidden risks.

The platform also features the VISDOM Assist chatbot, which provides users with answers to their inquiries regarding the contract process and CobbleStone interface. Enhanced by VISDOM+, the chatbot can address complex questions and offer legal context aligned with current compliance standards. Additionally, the VISDOM AI Helper for Microsoft Word allows users to interact seamlessly with CobbleStone’s CLM functionalities without leaving their documents.

VISDOM+ supports centralized clause management, ensuring legal teams can store and reuse pre-approved clauses for consistency and compliance across contracts. Its risk and sentiment analysis tools further enhance visibility into contract language, helping users to identify suboptimal terms and assess the overall tone of agreements. This capability improves strategic decision-making and risk mitigation.

CEO’s Vision for LegalTech

Mark Nastasi, founder and CEO of CobbleStone Software, stated, “Our approach to LegalTech isn’t just about automation, it’s about empowerment. Smarter contracts integrate automation into the contract lifecycle, securely supporting visibility and compliance, and resulting in more control.” He emphasized the importance of the award, noting that it reflects the substantial investment in research and development, client feedback, and industry expertise that has shaped their solutions.

The LegalTech sector is rapidly evolving, addressing the complexities of the legal industry through innovations such as AI-driven research, document automation, and digital case management. LegalTech Breakthrough aims to celebrate the most innovative companies and solutions that are shaping the future of this field. This year’s program received thousands of nominations from over a dozen countries, underscoring the global momentum within the industry.

Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of LegalTech Breakthrough, remarked on CobbleStone’s unique position in the market. He noted that traditional CLM software often requires manual processes that delay problem detection, while CobbleStone’s AI capabilities provide real-time insights into contract performance. “CobbleStone’s VISDOM+ helps legal teams conquer contract bottlenecks and focus on higher-value work,” Vaughn explained.

As CobbleStone Software continues to lead in intelligent contract management, the company is committed to enhancing its offerings. The integration of AI and machine learning not only streamlines document review but also enhances accuracy in contract management, making it a vital tool for legal professionals worldwide.
