Two lawyers and a sales team of eighty

Kestrel sells data infrastructure software to banks and retailers. Every first call starts with an NDA, and with eighty people in sales, the two lawyers were reviewing more than forty a week.

The NDAs were rarely difficult. They were simply constant, and each one held up a deal for a day or two.

A standard for every NDA

Legal set its positions on term, scope, residuals and governing law. Sales uploads the other side’s NDA, and Proviso returns it marked up against those positions.

Same-day signatures

Nine in ten NDAs are now signed the day they arrive. The lawyers see the few that ask for something new, and spend the rest of the week on commercial agreements.

“Our lawyers used to spend Mondays on NDAs. Now sales sends them through Proviso and most are signed before lunch.”
