In-House Legal Teams

Become a strategic business partner, not a bottleneck

In-house teams face growing contract volumes with flat headcount. Picard helps you manage the workload, accelerate turnaround, and prove your value to the business.

Problem Discovery

The In-House Squeeze

Business teams need contracts faster. Budgets aren't growing. Every request competes for limited legal attention.

156%increase in contract volume since 2019

Contract Request Overload

Sales closes a deal, procurement needs a vendor agreement, HR updates an employment contract—all by end of day. The queue never ends.

40%of contracts deviate from preferred terms

Playbook Inconsistency

Different team members negotiate different terms. Without visibility into what others accept, standards erode over time.

43%of contracts signed without legal review

Business Frustration

When legal becomes a bottleneck, business teams route around it. Shadow contracting creates risk legal doesn't see until something goes wrong.
