Kada AI & Legal Ops

A legal department with time to advise.

Your lawyers chase contracts, follow up on signatures and fill in spreadsheets. We organise and equip the legal function so they can get back to advising.

The life of a request

Time is lost between the steps.

Seven pillars

What makes a solid legal function.

  • Requests

    One entry point, priorities, deadlines met.

  • Contracts

    From drafting to expiry, a tracked lifecycle.

  • Templates

    Up-to-date templates and clauses, approved once and for all.

  • Tools

    Few tools, well chosen, that talk to each other.

  • Indicators

    A few simple figures, reviewed every month.

  • Budget

    Outside counsel well chosen, spending under control.

  • Governance

    Confidentiality, AI usage rules and team skills.

Frequently asked questions

What do Legal Ops cover?

The organisation of the legal function: how requests come in, how contracts are drafted, signed and found again, and how lawyers’ time is spent.

Our team is small. Is this for us?

Yes. A single in-house lawyer gains as much as a large department from one entry point and up-to-date templates. The effort is simply scaled.

Do we need to change all our tools?

No. We start from what you already use and only add a tool if it saves time.

What happens to the audit report?

It is generated in your browser and you download it. Your answers are not sent to us unless you choose to write to us.

What happens if I call you?

An associate reviews your situation with you, with no commitment. If there is work to do, they propose a method, a timetable and a budget.
