Keep up with the business on contracts
Contract volume follows the sales pace, not the team’s.
- Quarter ends swamp the team.
- Every contract is reviewed the same way, whatever the stake.
- Sales chase you to know where their contract stands.
Work piles up at the same checkpoint.
2021 · French subsidiary of an international healthcare group · 1 lawyer · 20 to 40 NDAs a month
NDAs seemed too simple to deserve a tool, yet numerous enough to keep the lawyer busy: 75 minutes per NDA on average, four storage spaces, and 100% of requests went through her, even the most standard ones. “I spend more time gathering information than doing legal work,” she said.
We redesigned the flow around one rule: a request is entered only once. Form, document generation, check of non-standard clauses, signature and filing were built in Google Workspace, the tool already in place. The lawyer now only steps in on real exceptions. In six months, a standard NDA went from 75 to 10 minutes.
Contract volume follows the pace of sales, not the pace of the team. Up-to-date templates, clear approval thresholds and a visible queue let you keep up without reviewing everything the same way.
