Build repeatable processes for contract review, approvals, and recordkeeping that balance speed with rigor
Build and maintain dashboards, metrics, and systems reporting to provide visibility into legal work, risk areas, and compliance status
Support audits, diligence requests, and regulatory inquiries by ensuring systems are accurate, complete, and defensible
Identify manual, error-prone, or fragmented processes and automate or streamline them
