TechScale, a fast-growing B2B SaaS company, was drowning in contracts. With 50+ enterprise deals in their pipeline and a small legal function, they needed a way to move faster without taking on more risk.
The Challenge
Before partnering with Aurenius, TechScale faced several critical challenges:
- Contract reviews took 5-7 days on average, delaying deal closures
- Their solo in-house counsel was overwhelmed with volume
- Outside counsel costs were unpredictable and expensive
- Standard playbook wasn't consistently applied across agreements
"We were losing deals simply because we couldn't turn around contracts fast enough. Our competitors were closing while we were still in legal review."
— Anna Klein, General Counsel, TechScale
The Solution
TechScale partnered with Aurenius on a Growth retainer, giving them access to:
- AI-powered first-pass review of all inbound contracts
- 24-hour turnaround SLA for standard agreements
- Dedicated shared counsel who learned their business
- Integration with their Slack workspace for real-time collaboration
The Results
Within the first quarter, TechScale saw dramatic improvements:
- 80% faster reviews: Average turnaround dropped from 5-7 days to under 24 hours
- Consistent quality: AI-assisted playbook enforcement caught issues that were previously missed
- Predictable costs: Fixed monthly retainer meant no surprise bills
- Happier sales team: Legal was no longer the bottleneck
"Aurenius is by far the best legal team I have ever worked with. Their speed is matched only by their precision."
— Anna Klein, General Counsel, TechScale
Key Takeaways
For companies facing similar challenges, Anna recommends:
- Start with high-volume, repeatable work: This is where AI assistance delivers the most value
- Invest in the relationship: The more your legal partner knows your business, the faster they move
- Embrace fixed pricing: It aligns incentives and eliminates budget anxiety
TechScale continues to scale their business with Aurenius as their embedded legal partner. As they grow, the partnership has evolved to include M&A support and regulatory guidance.
