The company: Ironclad

Why you should pay attention 
Contracts are the atomic unit of modern business. Companies depend on successful contract management to drive relationships and mitigate risk.
But in today’s increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world, the costs of contracting have never been greater. According to the IACCM, companies are losing 9.2% of annual revenues due to poor contract management. This doesn’t even take into account the opportunities lost to fragmented contracting processes or the cost of getting contracts done — $21,300 for a mid-complexity contract, and hundreds of thousands for a high-complexity contract. Ironclad enables businesses to be agile, efficient, and intelligent in managing every type of contract across departments. 

The details
Ironclad provides intuitive software that lets companies keep pace with the changing demands of modern business. Companies that fail to effectively manage risks or take advantage of new opportunities in today’s world risk getting left behind by competitors who have adapted better. Ironclad helps teams build and deploy scalable contract processes, work seamlessly with internal teams and counterparts, balance the need for speed and compliance, and make data-driven decisions from contract data.  

How it works
Ironclad lets customers build workflows for their contracts in minutes. 
- Workflow Designer is a self-serve tool that helps legal teams create and enforce contract policies, without long implementation times or the need for technical expertise. With a straightforward drag-and-drop user interface, customers can build and launch contract generation and approval processes in minutes.
- A full suite of collaboration and negotiation capabilities helps legal teams manage the contract redlining and revision process in one place — without forcing counterparties to do the same. 
- Dynamic Repository is the only user-friendly, enterprise-grade contract repository in the contract management space.

Why we’re obsessed 
Especially during times of uncertainty, legal teams play a crucial role in helping businesses navigate risk and survive. Ironclad is not only a contract management tool, but also a comprehensive platform that lets legal teams collaborate remotely, maintain data integrity, and get the answers they need in seconds. Whereas onboarding and integration with standard contract management tools can take months, Ironclad’s team of experts in legal workflow and technical implementation helps customers onboard and iterate quickly. They are on track to become the leading trusted provider of legal software.
