Challenge

• A fast-growing fintech was expanding across new markets but lacked the legal infrastructure to keep pace.

• Contracting processes were manual and inconsistent, creating bottlenecks and compliance risks.

• Leadership had limited visibility into contract pipelines, legal spend, and regulatory deadlines, slowing strategic decisions.

Solution

• Stepped in as an extension of the legal department, providing General Counsel, compliance, triage, and legal operations support.

• Standardised contracting processes, automated approvals, and cleared a backlog of pending contracts.

• Managed critical M&A and market-entry projects while introducing real-time dashboards to track contract status, spend, and compliance performance.

Value Added for the Client

• On-time delivery: Closed one of the company’s largest deals on schedule, enabling rapid market expansion.

• Faster deal turnaround: Streamlined workflows eliminated bottlenecks and accelerated contracting.

• Regulatory excellence: Zero missed deadlines or compliance gaps across multiple jurisdictions.

• Strategic visibility: Dashboards gave business leaders and investors real-time insight into legal and operational risks.

• Focus on growth: Freed the in-house legal team to concentrate on scaling the business and supporting innovation.
