How to Scale Legal Contract Management

Organizations lose $2 trillion globally from ineffective agreement management processes, according to research from Deloitte and Docusign. This reflects a pressing challenge facing today’s legal departments: how to keep pace with increasing contract volume, complexity, and business expectations—often with limited resources. 

Drawing on industry data and actionable guidance, this paper introduces Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) as a transformative solution that helps automate manual workflows, centralize agreements, and accelerate time to value. Legal teams that embrace IAM not only reduce risk and administrative overhead but also elevate their strategic profile within the organization.

Readers will benefit from a step-by-step framework for driving meaningful change—beginning with identifying key stakeholders and assessing current inefficiencies, and progressing through establishing automation, reporting, and change management strategies. In this paper, legal teams will learn how to be more than simply a gatekeeper, but a growth enabler and innovation leader across the enterprise.
