NDAs and routine contracts take 3-7 days because every single one routes through legal — no self-service for standard terms

Small firm creates the same lease, will, motion to dismiss, or discovery request from scratch every time — no forms library, no document automation, and setting up templates in most PM tools requires a consultant

Solo/small attorney sees the market moving toward flat-fee unbundled legal services (estate plans, LLC formations, uncontested divorces) but can't build client-facing intake-to-document-to-payment workflows without custom software development or expensive consultants — the gap between 'I know this should be automated' and actually doing it is too wide

Legal ops team selects a CLM but the UI is so complex that adoption craters — non-technical business users in sales and procurement refuse to use the self-service portal, and legal ends up doing everything manually anyway

Small firm sends 50 engagement letters a month and each one requires manually creating the PDF, emailing it, waiting for the client to print-sign-scan-return, then following up twice — the whole process takes 3 days per client when it should take 3 minutes

Associate or paralegal spends 2-3 hours daily on repetitive administrative tasks — entering time, filing documents to the right matter folder, updating case status fields, sending routine client update emails — and the firm can't hire more support staff at current margins, but the billable-hour leakage from this admin work costs more than the hire would

UK property transaction takes 125 days on average and 30% fall through before completion — the conveyancer gets personally blamed by frustrated buyers and estate agents for delays caused by mortgage brokers, surveyors, and other parties who never share status updates with each other
