How we built enterprise offerings for Headspace

Challenge:

Headspace’s legal team was lean. With a large stable of enterprise customers, their procurement process involved tons of legal paperwork — which was proving to be a heavy lift for their General Counsel, Michael Marchand, to take on himself.

Solution:

Headspace worked with Lawtrades to flex additional support that would handle their commercial review, so Michael could spend his time involved in the work that he did best, allowing him to take over a comprehensive view of their legal program.

How we supercharged Udemy’s commercial contracting system

Challenge:

Udemy was scaling, fast. Their contracts with customers were growing faster than they could manage and preventing their team from moving the most important deals forward.

Solution:

Udemy worked with Lawtrades to seamlessly hire on support that allowed them to immediately focus on the most important contracts and move forward to the next deal.

How we built a flexible legal team for Recharge

Challenge:

Recharge’s Head of Legal, Brandon Une, was operating solo. They had just raised their Series B, and he desperately needed support, but workflow varied and taking on a full-time hire did not make sense.

Solution:

Brandon used Lawtrades’ flexible model to scale up support both where and when he needed it —  without having to commit to a minimum spend or number of hours. This allowed him to focus on the big picture, instead of being tied down in review.
