Legal department

Run legal at the level the business needs.

You need to absorb more requests without becoming the mandatory checkpoint.

The challenges

Your challenges, one model.

Requests, contracts, information, steering: the work of a legal department has its own operating model. We design it with you, in your environment.

Frequently asked questions

Before we start.

Another question? Write to us

01Who does the work?

Steve Chrétien, founder of Pills. He runs every engagement himself, from the first call to handover. No subcontracting, no succession of consultants.

02Do you get access to our files and data?

We work inside your environment, your Microsoft 365 or your Google Workspace. Your data stays with you. We only access what the engagement needs, and you keep control of access rights.

03Do we need to buy a new tool?

No, not by reflex. We start from what you already have. An extra tool only comes in if it truly does better. We take no vendor commission.

04How long before a first result?

The first decisions come out of the diagnosis, not in month three. Every step produces something usable. In one legal department, the diagnosis relied on a sample of 250 contracts out of 1,100.

05What happens at the end of the engagement?

Your team can carry on alone. We hand over the documentation and operating procedures, and we train your internal leads. Handover is the goal of the engagement, not a bonus.

06What about AI?

We use it where a task is repetitive, documented and checkable: sorting requests, answering recurring questions, finding a document. The decision stays with the lawyer, and your data stays in your environment.

Legal Ops, by design.

Let us look at your legal department.

One hour to look at how work reaches legal, where it piles up and what could change.

If we are not the right fit for you, we will say so before we start.
