With Ironclad, legal teams can create entire contract processes without a support team. There’s no need for expensive consultants or extensive training because Ironclad was built for doers.
"I wasn’t positive that I’d be able to [create the entire contract process] as a one-person legal team. But it’s actually very intuitive once you start using it… I feel more than capable of starting new workflows and adapting existing ones to our needs without going to a support team."
