www.chambers.com LawTech Incubators & Accelerators Global-wideGLOBAL-WIDE: An Introduction to Lawtech Vendors: Transaction Management (Process Management)Contributed by BRYTER

Transaction Management (Process Management)Processes have become a key element of operational and strate-gic development in the legal industry. Whether in-house serving internal clients, or at a law firm serving external clients, legal pro-fessionals work on transactions both big and small. These trans-actions are made up of many steps forming a process. Processes have traditionally been manual and analogue, often with highly skilled legal experts participating in perceived purely operational or “lower-value” tasks. With the adoption of digitisation in the le-gal market, the positive economic impact of Process Management and the growing role of legal operations, there has been a clear and growing trend to standardise and automate legal workflows.

What is a Process?A process, or a workflow, involves multiple procedural steps that combine with legal expertise and decisioning to achieve a desired outcome. For example, a legal workflow or process might include collecting and storing documents, reviewing documents, analys-ing risk, automating document production, signing documents and triggering approvals. All of these are actions, but they also re-quire decisioning – what legal or business logic you apply at each stage of the transaction to achieve the correct result. Processes can be internal within an organisation or they can be external in delivering services to clients.

ChallengesTraditionally, processes have been manual, analogue, often with little streamlined, non-structured collaboration and heavy on re-sources. In many organisations processes have grown organically, without design, managed structure or optimisation. This results in a number of negative consequences.

First, these manual processes require highly skilled (and costly) legal subject matter experts to perform time-consuming, repeti-tive tasks. For in-house counsel this is challenging given the rising workloads, without the corresponding rising headcount. For law firms, this results in fee-earners’ time spent on non-chargeable work.

Second, these disparate processes are based on multiple leg-acy systems, often not communicating to each other, which may live offline and in multiple locations. This results in an elevated risk of “blind spots”, poor communication and an increase in legal and business risk. A significant amount of manual work is required to patch digital, often siloed processes together, with increased efforts for maintenance and change management.

Third, disparate, unconnected and often legacy systems, as well as (parallel) paper processes, lead to a lack of insight and per-formance metrics, which prevents decision makers from having access to the data necessary to assess risks and take informed decisions. General Counsel need access to data to facilitate con-versations with decision makers in Lines of Business (LOB), and the current state of available processes fails to provide them with that required data.

Finally, manual, analogue processes have often lead to silos and cannot be scaled across the organisation. This results in a lack of consistency, and ultimately an increase in risk, cost and lower-quality outputs. Many advancements of project manage-

ment and increased budgets for digital units, as well as innovation teams, are blocked by the analogue framework.

What is Process Management?Process Management involves modelling and understanding pro-cesses with a view to identifying which elements can be standard-ised and automated, to improve operational efficiency. Process Management can apply to any process – simple or complex – but the largest economic gains are realised when you apply Process Management to transactions that are high-volume, frequently occurring, complex, and therefore costly in terms of resource re-quired.

There are multiple technologies that exist to support legal teams in Process Management, from point solutions like e-sig-nature or contract review tools, to broadly applicable technology like no-code platforms that enable teams to build applications to automate these manual, analogue, recurring workflows and deci-sions without any coding required.

Economic impact of Process ManagementThere is a limited period of time remaining where clients are will-ing to pay for work that can otherwise be automated. Process Management has become a critical aspect of legal operations – used by global law firms to better service their clients, and used by in-house teams to demonstrate they are value drivers, not per-ceived cost centres. Further, by digitising legal services, Process Management enables law firms to diversify their service offering to their clients, and meet the growing client demand for technolo-gy-enabled legal solutions.

Examples of Process ManagementProcess Management has the largest benefits in frequently oc-curring, manual and time-consuming processes. Examples of Pro-cess Management include the following.

Complex document automationMost transactions involve the creation of documents, often com-plex involving legal and business logic. Document automation sel-dom exists in isolation, and rather is part of a broader legal work-flow that can be standardised, and therefore automated. The most significant benefits in this area occur where legal teams do not just focus on the automation of one type of document but consid-er the entire workflow as a whole: the underlying legal logic and the document automation.

For example, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are one of the most frequently entered into contractual agreements, and there-fore capable of being standardised and automated. However, it is not just the document that requires attention, it is the entire workflow.

Using no-code technology, legal teams use a visual, drag-and-drop editor to quickly and easily create a workflow that automates the creation and signing of NDAs, end-to-end, incorporating other technologies like e-signature and upload to the relevant docu-ment management system.

The team uses their legal expertise to define the logic behind the decision-making, ensuring each NDA drafted comes with

4

Global-wide LawTech Incubators & Accelerators www.chambers.com

the most relevant paragraphs, using the proper format, with the correct styling, all without having to manually check each single NDA, unless of course they included an escalation process for certain NDAs.

Automating this entire process, rather than simply the docu-ment automation, translates into huge time savings on the part of the legal team, and facilitates a better service to clients through a user-friendly, accessible interface to access the document and the legal team.

Virtual legal assistant/intake management process manage-mentLegal departments need to filter, manage and respond to dozens of incoming requests for assistance. Often, these requests are frequently recurring. From creating and reviewing agreements to addressing compliance questions, responding to these requests is manual and time-consuming. And yet, there is a huge potential to standardise and automate this work, enabling the legal team to manage large volumes of work and respond to requests quickly.

By understanding the process, through Process Management, and building a virtual legal assistant using a no-code platform, legal teams build their own self-service tool to reflect their pro-cesses, service levels and risk appetite. Through a customisable and interactive interface, the legal team specifies exactly what in-formation they need about a given request. Non-legal colleagues, employees or any other end-user can provide the information, and the decisioning logic is then applied to filter, manage and, where applicable, respond to the request.

Through this workflow, the legal department maintains full visibility over all documents created and, once approved, can integrate into signing flows like DocuSign for a true end-to-end solution.

Large-scale repapering exercisesMacro-economic events, like Brexit and the phasing out of LI-BOR, have resulted in the need to review and amend thousands of contracts across hundreds of jurisdictions. This work is complex, time-consuming, and for many law firms and legal departments a relatively low-margin exercise.

By modelling, standardising and then automating this workflow using a no-code platform, and integrating it with other technol-ogies like text extraction and a document management system, legal teams can complete large scale repapering exercises in a fraction of the time it would otherwise have taken.

The key to achieving this is having the ability to easily custom-ise the workflow to the given risk threshold and company require-ments, and easily being able to integrate it with other industry technologies to provide a single interface that can act as both a review platform and a reporting software.

ConclusionProcess Management enables legal teams to streamline exist-ing processes and workflows, saving time and enabling them to provide a better service to their internal or external clients. By combining technologies – from no-code platforms like BRYTER to e-signing tools like DocuSign – legal teams can achieve significant economic benefits through improving operational efficiency: sav-ing time and increasing profitability.

BASKERVILLE DRUMMOND CONSULTING LTDwww.baskervilledrummond.com tel: 01908 592570

Consultants: David Baskerville, Kevin Goosman, Cathy Kirby, Nigel Stott and Richard Wyatt

Firm Overview:

Baskerville Drummond Consultancy Limited (BDCL) provides a full end-to-end consultancy service from strategic reviews, system and vendor selection, implementation and strategy execution to retained or trusted advisor.

BDCL’s unique approach enables it to fully support clients through the whole strategic or project process and ensures it is fully accountable for the results.

There tends to be three types of initial engagement: ■ Firms often recognise they have challenges with IT generally or with a particular service or

project but are not certain of the cause or resolution. ■ Firms are considering embarking on a significant change project and want to ensure they prepare

properly before commencing or have already recognised they need external support with the project. ■ Firms have recognised they need external assistance in procurement or implementation of

specialist line of business applications or service provision.BDCL will often take its client through the full “Review, Select and Implement” cycle, but other times clients engage them at a specific stage in the project.

UNITED KINGDOMMILTON KEYNES: Challenge House, Sherwood Drive, MK3 6DP Tel: +44 (0) 1908 592570 Email: [email protected]

Main Areas of Practice:

Reviews & Strategy CreationBDCL carries out detailed reviews that deliver an independent assessment of the client’s current IT provision and their current and future needs. The review looks at the service delivery, infrastructure and business applications in use and provides the client with a prioritised list of areas which require focus.The findings of the report then tend to be the basis of the creation of the firm’s formal IT strategy to underpin service enhancement and alignment of IT to the business’s strategy. This is particularly useful when a firm is going through a period of transformation.

System & Vendor SelectionOften in the review stage BDCL identifies busi-ness applications, or services, which are “end of life”, no longer fit for purpose or suffering from poor 3rd party delivery. BDCL therefore supports firms in identifying their unique requirements and assessing the options in the market. The firm’s service entails a full procurement process from requirements gathering, prioritising functional needs, identifying success criteria, long-listing and undertaking a full RTT process.

Implementation & Strategy ExecutionFollowing the selection of new technology, BDCL is often engaged to act as the project consultant to ensure successful implementation. This role is a blend of project governance, project management and mentor and advisor to the project team. BDCL’s engagement at this stage seeks to ensure the original project vision and business objectives are delivered.

Trusted AdvisorsBDCL acts as long-term trusted advisors to several law firms and offers a “Virtual IT Direc-tor” role where they are engaged for several days each month. It is also often the go-to when a law firm has a technology challenge which is outside

“Business as Usual” and they require some exter-nal perspective on a problem or the experience of someone who has dealt with a similar issue previously.

Strategy & Finance ReviewsBDCL’s in-depth knowledge of both law firms and the legal marketplace puts it in a position to help law firms clarify their strategic direction. By iden-tifying the creators of value in the firm (whether they are people, areas of law or processes), and the destroyers of value, the firm helps its clients to decide the focus of attention for the year, or years, ahead. The business is then able to be more profitable and more cash generative. In turn, this allows further development and investment, as well as profit for the owners.To support clients in achieving their objectives BDCL can use its tried and tested approaches by:

■ Developing management information that identifies the profitable and cash generative areas of the firm; ■ Designing motivational partner reward mod-

els, that encourage great partner performance; ■ Creating staff reward schemes that focus

attention on the needs of the firm and improve performance; ■ Identifying potential merger partners:

working with you to handle mergers, including due diligence on the other firm(s) and drawing on its experience to advise the client through the process; ■ Training staff in the “Business of Law”,

helping them understand how to manage the financial side of each client and their overall client portfolio; ■ Assessing the appropriateness of the finance

team by undertaking a gap analysis, to see where strengths and, especially weaknesses, lie; ■ Providing part-time finance director, (FD),

practice manager and CEO, services to those firms that either don’t want or cannot afford these full-time positions.

Client BaseBDCL clients are law firms headquartered in England & Wales with a turnover of between £4 to £40 million. Most of its clients would be classed as traditional full-service regional law firms such as Debenhams Ottaway, Hamlin’s, Jackson Lees, Paris Smith, Radcliffe Chambers, Trethowans, Thompson Smith & Puxon or Wright Hassall but they also have a few niche practices such as Signature Litigation (Litigation), Laura Devine (Immigration) and Hughes, Fowler Carruthers and start-ups such as Bott van Kesteren and Astraea Group.BDCL is the preferred IT advisor to LawNet.

BRYTERwww.bryter.com

CEO: Michael Grupp COO: Micha-Manuel Bues CPO: Michael Hübl Number of employees: 200+

Firm OverviewBRYTER is the no-code service automation platform that enables legal and regulatory professionals to build and run digital applications, without any programming. BRYTER is especially geared to law firms, legal operations, in-house legal departments and alternative legal service providers who use the software to automate complex, repetitive decisions and workflows. In leveraging automation, these teams save time, improve operational efficiency and provide faster, more accurate services to their internal and external clients. BRYTER was founded in 2018 by Michael Grupp, Micha-Manuel Bues and Michael Hübl who saw the need for an easy-to-use automation software in their previous roles as lawyers and entrepreneurs. While most experts have some digital toolset at their disposal to digitise repetitive and tedious tasks, some of the most valuable and impactful professionals in companies are left out. BRYTER solves this by giving them the tools to digitise their services in minutes, not months or years.

SOLUTION AREASDecision AutomationDocument AutomationLegal Workflow AutomationNo-code app BuilderEnd-to-end Self-service Applications Risk ScoringKnowledge ManagementRepapering SoftwareRisk and Compliance AutomationRegulatory Reporting Software

OFFICESRemote first with offices in London, New York, Dublin, Berlin and Frankfurt.

[email protected]

Customers In-house legal teams from companies like McDonalds, Telefonica and ING Bank, through to global law firms like Simmons and Simmons, Ashurst, Paul Hastings and Reed Smith, and professional service firms like Deloitte, PwC and KPMG use BRYTER to deliver legal services digitally.

Customer Testimonials“[Using applications built on BRYTER] saves our time, our commercial colleagues’ time and means we can provide a faster, better service.” Gabriel Bärenz, Senior Legal Counsel, ING Bank.

“We turn standard services into self-service offer-ings with a BRYTER tool. And with the help of those self-service tools, the business can get access to what they are looking for within a very short timeframe. Where it took a week before to get ac-cess to legal documents, now it’s within minutes to respond to requests. Enabling the business in such a smart and efficient way is the first step towards client satisfaction.” Stefan Wilke, Legal Counsel, GEA Group Legal Department

“In today’s world it is more important than ever to create individual solutions for clients. Quick and focused, and BRYTER is the ideal tool for this.” Philipp Glock, Partner, KPMG Law, Head of Legal Technology

“BRYTER empowers us to build more digital prod-ucts faster, and at lower cost... the key benefits of BRYTER are its usability, versatility and speed-of-deployment. BRYTER is genuinely no-code.” Rob MacAdam, Head of Digital Products in EMEA for Ashurst Advance Digital

Example Use Cases Virtual Legal AssistantLegal teams need to filter, manage and respond to dozens of incoming requests for assistance. Using BRYTER legal departments automate these work-flows and make routine legal services available on a self-service basis.

Through a customisable and interactive interface, internal and external clients can access advice, standardised contracts and answers to frequently asked questions all via a self-service application built and customised by the legal team, without any coding.

Complex Document AutomationA core part of every legal team’s day is reviewing, negotiating, amending and executing contracts. Using BRYTER legal teams combine full-blown document automation functionality with a pow-erful decisioning engine, streamlining the entire legal workflow.For example, with non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), legal teams use the visual, drag-and-drop editor with BRYTER to quickly and easily create a workflow that automates the creation and signing of NDAs, end-to-end, incorporating other tech-nologies like e-signature and then upload to the relevant document management system. Automating this entire process, rather than simply the document automation, translates into huge time savings on the part of the legal team, and facilitates a better service to clients through a user-friendly, accessible interface to access the document and the legal team.

Large Scale Repapering Exercises Macro-economic events, like Brexit and the phasing out of LIBOR, have resulted in the need to review and amend thousands of contracts across hundreds of jurisdictions. Legal teams use BRYTER to model, standardise and automate this workflow, completing the repapering exercise in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take. The key to achieving this is having the ability to easily customise the workflow to the given risk threshold and company requirements, and eas-ily being able to integrate it with other industry technologies to provide a single interface that can act as both a review platform and a reporting software.

Key features

Truly No-codeLawyers, trainees, legal engineers and innovation managers can all quickly and easily build digital applications with BRYTER without any program-ming using the visual, “drag-and-drop” editor. They can build, test and publish their applications in one click.

Decision AutomationA powerful business rule engine enables legal professionals to automate the underling logic in-volved in complex legal and regulatory decisions. This “thinking” element of a workflow can then be combined with the “doing” element, like trig-gering emails, approval processes or automating documents generation.

Legal WorkflowsLegal and regulatory teams model, visualise and optimize legal workflows and legal processes, resulting in time saved and efficiency gains.

Document AutomationBRYTER includes full document automation functionality, that can then be combined with the workflow, all fully customised to that company / law firm / use case. You can upload company templates with house branding and style, inte-grate with Microsoft Word, export in any format and integrate with your document management system.

Industry IntegrationsBRYTER comes with full interoperability with all industry applications and databases with out-of-the-box APIs.

Enterprise ReadyBRYTER is built for enterprises with SSO and role-based access, audit logs and bank grade security. ISO certified and GDPR compliant.

How Luminance’s AI Benefits Lawyers

Understand the key information on day one: With Luminance instantly surfacing key data-points such as clauses, anomalies, email traffic and risks, lawyers are always at the forefront of their negotiation or investigation. Luminance visually represents this information across a number of interactive widgets, helping lawyers to understand the different aspects of their dataset and rapidly zero-in on what matters. Using Lu-minance, lawyers have consistently reported time savings of up to 90% during their review, allowing them to spend more time providing analysis and advice to their client or business.

Mitigate risk: Not only does Luminance read the entirety of the dataset, but it then has the unique ability to surface anomalies such as a missing document or a subtle deviation in clause wording. Luminance can also flag ‘unknown unknown’ results: hidden risks that the lawyer did not know existed, thus did not know to search for, such as onerous and unexpected clauses in unusual places. With Lumi-nance, lawyers can quickly pinpoint areas of risk and investigate them early on.

AI conceptually understands documents: Luminance goes far beyond keyword searching: it actually forms an understanding of legal docu-ments. This means that users have the ability to capture conceptually alike terms within their searches, ensuring the most thorough inquiries, or during an investigation, Luminance can pro-vide conceptually similar documents to the one currently being reviewed, completely changing the way lawyers go about ECA.

More powerful with every interaction: Users can show Luminance just one example of a new concept and, in one click, Luminance can then apply this learning across the dataset. This flexible approach ensures Luminance doesn’t need expensive and time-consuming updates in light of new legislation.

Use within hours: Luminance’s easy cloud-deployment and intuitive interface ensures that users don’t need advanced certification: most lawyers are up and running within hours.

Luminance Product Suite

Luminance Diligence: Supports corporate lawyers with contract reviews including M&A due diligence, real estate reviews, contract consolidation exercises and redaction. Luminance’s AI instantly highlights anomalous areas and critical information such as clauses, governing law and document types, displaying this information across a dashboard of interactive widgets. Luminance helps lawyers to proactively respond to urgent contractual issues, instilled with the greatest confidence that nothing has been missed during their review.

Luminance Discovery: An end-to-end AI-powered eDiscovery platform, which can be used for a range of matters including ECA and investigations, high-volume litigation work, DSARs and court preparation. By combin-ing AI-driven document analysis with powerful data culling and filter widgets, Luminance allows lawyers to quickly hone in on relevant

information. Because Luminance conceptually understands documents, Luminance helps litiga-tors interrogate their data in the most thorough, robust way, for instance instantly surfacing conceptually similar items and highlighting important yet under-investigated areas of the dataset areas.

Luminance Corporate: AI-powered tool for in-house teams to enhance and expedite the entire contract lifestyle process, from contract drafting and negotiation to under-standing the key features of executed contracts. Luminance Corporate provides a central re-pository for all contracts, executed and still being negotiated, with Luminance’s machine learning analysing these contracts and displaying the key features broken down across a range of interactive visual widgets. This allows lawyers to quickly find out answers to urgent business questions. Further, Luminance uniquely integrates with Microsoft Word via a plugin, enabling lawyers to tap into Luminance’s AI analysis in a sidebar as part of their regular workflow. As well as labelling key datapoints within contracts, Luminance shows users at-a-glance how provisions within incoming contracts comply with executed agreements, and suggests acceptable alternative wording.
