Rapid growth meant reviewing 150+ vendor and customer contracts annually. Legal team bottlenecked sales with 2-3 day turnaround times. Compliance tracking across GDPR, CCPA, and SOC2 was manual and reactive, resulting in $120K in fines over 2 years. Legal spent 60% of time on routine NDAs instead of strategic work.
