Our take
Legal teams for large companies often lack the same sophisticated business intelligence and analytics tools that are common in finance and sales departments, relying instead on manual processes and spreadsheets. As such, nearly a third of legal departments around the world are increasing spending on technology.
LinkSquares is a company that may benefit from this increased spending, with its contract management and analytics tool for legal teams. The platform reads, analyzes, and extracts structured data from contracts, which allows legal teams to uncover insights and close deals quicker. LinkSquares has processed millions of documents for 700 companies, including brands like Fitbit, Wayfair, Twilio, Cogito, and TGI Fridays.
The company is far from alone in a growing contract creation and management tool market, with rivals including DocuSign, Concord, Icertis, and Evisort. However, LinkSquares has enjoyed rapid growth and is nearing unicorn status and keeps pace with industry trends, in 2024 announcing a Generative AI strategy which will be implemented across its entire product suite.
