LinkSquares Named 2026 “Contract Management Solution of the Year” by LegalTech Breakthrough

Published

on

By

BOSTON, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LinkSquares, the leading Agentic contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform, today announced it is the winner of “Contract Management Solution of the Year” in the 7th annual LegalTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by LegalTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout legal technology companies, products and services around the globe.

LinkSquares’ award-winning platform, powered by our advanced LinkAI engine, combines predictive, generative, and agentic AI to redefine contract lifecycle management (CLM). Predictive AI helps legal teams stay ahead of renewals and mitigate risks before they arise. Generative AI accelerates drafting and review with instant agreement summaries and intelligent clause recommendations. Agentic AI automates metadata extraction and validation with exceptional accuracy, empowering organizations to reduce risk, drive revenue growth, and unlock deeper insights from their contracts.

In 2026, LinkSquares rebuilt its platform around an agentic architecture, resulting in a model where autonomous AI agents can understand contracts as structured data, reason across that data, and take action based on what they find. LinkSquares AI architecture empowers users to deliver accurate results quickly. Able to simplify complex searches and generate tailored clauses, while delivering autonomous insights, the multi-agent approach ensures speed, accuracy, and smarter decision-making and legal clarity across every business function.

“LinkSquares is absolutely revolutionizing contract management. In-house Legal is not a low-stakes game for the organization it serves or the legal teams managing the workload. Contract management has long relied on manual effort that slows legal down, with teams challenged to find, track, and act on contract data fast enough to stay compliant and make informed decisions,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, LegalTech Breakthrough. “LinkAI, the intelligence engine behind LinkSquares, powers advanced contract analytics, automated reviews, and smarter workflows, letting teams spot risk faster, accelerate deals, and extract clear insights from every agreement. We are proud to single out LinkSquares and its Agentic AI advances with ‘Contract Management Solution of the Year.'”

“Traditional contract management tools and generic LLMs aren’t built for legal work at scale, and most legal AI platforms have simply bolted AI capabilities onto legacy systems. We built LinkSquares’ agentic platform from the ground up on agentic AI infrastructure, trained specifically for legal documents,” said Andrew Leverone, Chief Product Officer at LinkSquares. “On behalf of LinkSquares, I’m thrilled to accept this award from LegalTech Breakthrough. We’ll continue to enhance our technology to automate the entire contract lifecycle, from creation and negotiation through execution, obligation tracking, and renewal, helping clients extract key data, flag risk, and surface insights.”

The legal technology sector is rapidly redefining how legal work gets done, transforming one of the world’s most complex and vital industries. From AI legal assistants and agentic research to contract intelligence, eDiscovery, court and compliance technology, and connected legal operations platforms, legal technology is delivering greater speed, transparency and access to justice for law firms, legal departments, courts and the people they serve.

The mission of the annual LegalTech Breakthrough Awards program is to recognize the innovators transforming the global legal landscape with breakthrough technology. The program conducts a comprehensive analysis of the companies redefining how legal services are researched, drafted, managed and delivered. From AI-driven research and drafting platforms and contract lifecycle management to eDiscovery, case and practice management, regulatory compliance, legal spend analytics and access-to-justice solutions, these innovations are enabling legal organizations to work more efficiently, serve clients better and shape the future of the legal profession.

About LinkSquares
LinkSquares is the leading AI-powered contract lifecycle management platform, trusted by more than 1,200 customers, including DraftKings, ProPharma, and TIME. Built on more than a decade of experience partnering with general counsel and legal operations leaders, LinkSquares’ all-agentic AI platform sets a new standard for how AI operates across the contract lifecycle.

AI Infrastructure Numbers Keep Climbing While the Week’s Headlines Turn to the Boardroom

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Market Updates News Commentary – Much of this week’s coverage of the AI chip trade has focused on a boardroom rather than a balance sheet. The reports filed by the companies that design, manufacture, buy and rent out AI computing capacity tell their own story, one built on revenue, backlogs and spending plans that are on the record. Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE: TSM), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), and CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV).

What the Board Said, and What the Business Reported

At NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), the board said on Nov. 8 that it is initiating an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort, to be overseen by a committee of independent directors assisted by outside independent counsel. The board said it has no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised, and that it will provide further updates as appropriate.

The business underneath those headlines is a matter of record. For its fiscal second quarter ended July 26, 2026, Nvidia reported revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% from a year earlier, including Data Center revenue of $89.0 billion, up 117%. The company guided third quarter revenue to $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, and said its Vera Rubin platform is now in full production. Beneath the hardware sits CUDA, the parallel computing platform Nvidia launched in 2006. In March, marking 20 years of the platform, the company said CUDA now serves as the foundation for 6 million developers worldwide.

Where the Chips Are Made

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE: TSM) reported on Nov. 10 that consolidated revenue for October 2026 was approximately NT$586.89 billion, an increase of 14.7% from September and 59.7% from October 2025. Revenue for January through October totaled NT$4,485.62 billion, up 43.3% from the same period of 2025.

That followed a third quarter in which TSMC’s revenue rose 50.9% year over year to NT$1,494.24 billion, or US$46.72 billion, with 7-nanometer and more advanced technologies accounting for 79% of wafer revenue. The company guided fourth quarter revenue to US$52.3 billion to US$54.3 billion and said it expects continued strong demand for its leading-edge technologies, including a steep ramp of its 2-nanometer process.

Who Is Buying the Compute

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) reported on Oct. 29 that AWS segment sales increased 39% year over year to $46.0 billion in the third quarter, which the company described as the unit’s fastest growth in nearly five years, bringing AWS to a $184 billion annualized revenue run rate. Amazon said it continues to expect 2026 cash capital expenditures of approximately $220 billion, and that the year-over-year increase in its purchases of property and equipment primarily reflects investments in artificial intelligence.

CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV) reported on Nov. 10 third quarter revenue of $3.66 billion, compared with $1.37 billion a year earlier, and a revenue backlog of approximately $132.5 billion as of Sept. 30, 2026. The company said it has brought online multi-rack NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 deployments. CoreWeave raised its full year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $13.0 billion to $13.3 billion and now expects full year capital expenditures of $37 billion to $39 billion, raising the low end of its prior range, which it attributed to expecting to deploy infrastructure and deliver it to customers sooner than planned.

The Next Data Point

The next scheduled report comes from Nvidia itself. The company has said it will host a conference call on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 5 p.m. ET to discuss results for its fiscal third quarter, which ended Oct. 25, 2026, with CFO commentary provided in writing ahead of the call. Until then, the clearest view of AI infrastructure demand remains the one in the filings above, reported by the companies themselves.
