ContractPodAi, a pioneer in legal AI and contract lifecycle management (CLM), has launched the Leah Tariff Agent, a specialized solution designed to help businesses navigate the growing complexities of international tariffs and shifting trade regulations. The introduction of Leah comes at a time when global supply chains are under increasing pressure due to regulatory changes and geopolitical disruptions.

Leah enables organizations to identify, evaluate, and respond to tariff-related risks embedded in their contracts. Agentic AI delivers real-time insights that go beyond traditional risk awareness, helping companies take timely legal action and strengthen their contractual protections.

Sarvarth Misra, CEO and Co-Founder of ContractPodAi, noted, “In today’s volatile global trade environment, businesses need more than just awareness; they need the power to act decisively. The Leah Tariff Agent delivers that power.”

Developed to address growing demands from procurement, legal, and finance teams, Leah enhances visibility across contracts impacted by tariffs, sanctions, and compliance mandates. It supports:

• Supply Chain Optimization by identifying supplier origins and potential risks tied to high-exposure regions.
• Tariff Responsibility Mapping to clarify who bears the cost of tariffs under varying legal frameworks.
• Incoterms and Risk Allocation analysis, particularly highlighting responsibilities in DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) arrangements.
• Legal Remedy Navigation, surfacing contract-specific options such as termination rights, force majeure activation (clauses that allow parties to suspend or exit contracts due to extraordinary events like new tariffs or sanctions), renegotiation clauses, and price adjustment mechanisms.
• Dispute Resolution Evaluation, pinpointing gaps in mediation steps or ambiguities in arbitration clauses.

Leah empowers companies to respond swiftly to regulatory changes while ensuring alignment between legal, procurement, and finance functions. It improves operational resilience by preventing margin erosion, mitigating legal liabilities, and preserving business continuity in a fluctuating trade environment.
