How Interfood are Building a More Strategic Legal Function with Luminance Legal-Grade™ AI

Building a Scalable Legal Function

Operating across a complex network of suppliers, buyers and partners worldwide, Interfood manages a high volume of commercial contracts in a fast-moving trading environment where speed, accuracy and consistency are critical. As the legal function expanded, it became clear that the existing approach to contract management was not built for scale. Agreements were stored across disparate locations, institutional knowledge within the legal function was difficult to access, and there was limited visibility across the broader contractual landscape. In a global trading environment where the business depends on rapid, reliable legal support, the team realized technology held the key to a more sustainable approach.

After evaluating available solutions, Interfood selectedLuminance for its unique combination of an intelligent, AIpowered repository and the ability to embed workflows and standardized templates directly into the platform. What set Luminance apart was not simply its capacity to store contracts, but its ability to support scalable, consistent ways of working, enabling the business to become more self-sufficient while preserving the legal oversight necessary in a high-volume commercial environment.

Driving Next-Level Insight

Luminance is now embedded in Interfood’s daily legal operations. Where the team once spent significant time searching across fragmented systems, they now have immediate access to key information from a single, centralized repository. Luminance’s advanced cross-contract analysis enables the legal team to identify patterns, benchmark key legal positions, and develop a far more holistic understanding of Interfood’s contractual landscape. The impact on the team’s capacity has been substantial. Rather than operating in a reactive mode, the legal function can now contribute more proactively to strategic discussions.

Stronger Risk Management

The visibility afforded by Luminance has also transformed how Interfood approaches risk and commercial decision-making. Luminance enables the team to identify recurring risk themes, benchmark contractual positions, and build a more structured view of the company’s legal exposure. This has been instrumental in strengthening Interfood’s overall risk management approach. With access to structured data across the full contract portfolio, negotiations are also strengthened; the legal team can now identify and define internal standards based on historical agreements, approaching counterparties with clearer benchmarks and greater consistency. The result is more informed, balanced commercial decision-making.

A Look Ahead

Looking further ahead, Interfood sees AI as fundamental to the future of its legal function. Routine and repetitive tasks will increasingly be handled by AI, freeing legal professionals to focus on the higher-value, strategic work that drives real business impact. At Interfood, that evolution is already underway, and with Luminance at the center of its operations, the legal team is well-placed to grow as a true strategic partner to the business: driving insight, managing risk proactively, and supporting Interfood’s continued growth with confidence.
