Mission

Every major business has an in-house legal team, and all of those lawyers are overworked. 80 hour weeks, tight deadlines and contract-reading death marches are the industry norm. Up until recently, there wasnt anything technology could do to help this situation.

  • Would describe yourself as being relentlessly resourceful.
