Client Overview

A mid-sized corporate law firm specializing in contract law, M&A transactions, and regulatory compliance for 300+ corporate clients across finance, healthcare, and technology sectors. The firm handles over 15,000 contracts annually with strict SLA requirements and regulatory deadlines.

As the client base grew 40% year-over-year, manual contract processing became unsustainable. Paralegals spent 60% of their time on administrative tasks, deadline tracking relied on spreadsheets, and the firm faced increasing risk of missed compliance obligations.

The Challenge

β€œOur paralegals were drowning in paperwork. We had NDAs sitting unsigned for weeks, contract renewals falling through the cracks, and compliance deadlines tracked in multiple Excel sheets. One missed regulatory filing could cost us our reputation and six figures in penalties.”

β€” Managing Partner, Corporate Law Firm

Key Pain Points

  • Manual contract generation taking 2-3 hours per document

  • E-signature workflows requiring 15+ manual steps and follow-ups

  • Compliance deadlines tracked in fragmented Excel spreadsheets

  • Document filing consuming 10+ hours per paralegal per week

  • No centralized audit trail for regulatory compliance

Our Solution

We implemented a comprehensive legal workflow automation platform that integrates with their existing CRM (Salesforce), document management (NetDocuments), and e-signature systems (DocuSign).
