CPG is North America’s premier end-to-end data center technology partner, offering design, construction and analytics-driven operations for conventional, hyperscale and edge data centers. Its lean, high-powered legal team handles a large volume of first and third party contracts, from NDAs to Service Agreements. To meet this challenge, CPG’s Contract Analyst, Stephanie Avery, needed a solution to streamline review of routine and non-routine contracts - from NDAs to service agreements and construction contracts. She found it in LegalOn.
As a core member of the company’s contract management team, Stephanie is responsible for reviewing and managing dozens of contracts every week. Against a growing contract workload, she was spending far too much time on reviewing contracts by hand, manually reviewing each contract against different checklists. Routine contracts such as NDAs would take hours to review while service agreements would take multiple days. Often, the company needed to outsource complicated agreements to outside counsel, contributing to significant legal spend.
Due to transition in the legal team, Stephanie’s workload increased. This situation necessitated a reliable solution to efficiently handle contract reviews, particularly with complex service agreements and construction contracts becoming more prevalent.
CPG required a tool to:
Enter LegalOn, which combines AI with expert legal guidance developed by seasoned in-house attorneys. Stephanie, upon referral from a former colleague, recognized LegalOn’s potential to be the extra set of eyes needed for meticulous contract scrutiny. As a non-lawyer, she has found great value in LegalOn’s expert guidance and content to help her turn contracts around.
LegalOn’s seamless onboarding allowed Stephanie to dive straight into action. “After using it on the demo, I was immediately able to start reviewing after we bought the software,” she said. The platform’s intuitive nature facilitated a comfortable transition, significantly reducing the review times and associated costs for various contracts.
The AI’s suggestions weren’t just time-savers; they were learning moments. Each contract reviewed became a knowledge-building experience, solidifying Stephanie’s understanding of legal jargon and critical contract clauses. “LegalOn’s guidance allows me to learn why specific legal language should be incorporated into the contract I’m reviewing. It’s a great tool to help me acquire greater legal knowledge.”
LegalOn’s Compare feature stood out, enabling Stephanie to track contract modifications effectively – a process that was cumbersome with traditional Word processors.
“I love using the Compare feature on documents coming back from other parties, to track changes. It’s incredibly helpful as it shows you all changes – unlike other software that forces you to accept changes in order to review them.”
With the immediate benefits realized, Stephanie eyes the potential for LegalOn’s Playbooks feature to empower CPG’s sales team in contract negotiations, potentially streamlining processes further.
Stephanie underscores an essential thought – in the contemporary digital age, not leveraging AI assistance equates to trailing behind. For her, LegalOn isn’t just a tool; it’s an indispensable ally, fostering growth, assurance, and competence. CPG’s journey with LegalOn epitomizes a progressive step in harnessing technology to refine legal processes, ensuring that the company stays ahead in the fast-evolving data center industry.
