Navigating Complexity Not all tech is created equal. Increased access to and the availability of legal technology, including the rapid pace at which new vendors emerge or bring their solutions to market, can be difficult to navigate. Our dedicated resources for the assessment and piloting of the most current technology can quickly cut through the noise to identify the appropriate tools for a particular situation. Optimizing We acknowledge that technology is a means, not an end. Applying technology to further improve a process is always made after a process is clearly mapped and the need and solution requirements have been clearly defined. Context is essential to ensure that the value of tech is optimized and the return on investment is realized. Creative Use Our unique value lies in our ability to transform “out-of-the-box” technologies into the best possible user experience, either through vendor-supported customization or seamless integration with other workflows or technologies. A deep understanding of the tools deployed, combined with the demands of practicing law, have resulted in the creative use of these tools — elevating their capability beyond their original purpose. Leading-edge Tools It is often not cost-effective for an organization to acquire technologies or dedicate resources to gain the required expertise. Instead, engaging law firms to access their processes, tools, and expertise can be the most effective solution. Rather than simply trying to sell old services by utilizing new tools, we invite clients to access our FourLines tools and technologies (including with respect to due diligence and contract analysis, transaction management, workflow automation, and contract digitization), as supported by our team of experts. Representative Outcomes

Client Extranets. Addressing the inefficient production of high-volume agreements, we leveraged a user-friendly document automation tool to create customized client-facing sites. Capable of housing automated versions of bespoke agreements, these sites have both improved document production for our clients (saving an average of 80 percent in drafting time) and reduced potential for error.

AI-Assisted Document Review. Artificial Intelligence is transforming due diligence and similar contract review requirements in the legal industry. We were early adopters of AI-assisted technologies for document review and have honed our expertise to extract relevant information from a large volume of highly diverse document sets with incredible speed (60–90 percent less review time) and improved accuracy.

Collaborative Transaction Management. We provide direct access to software that streamlines the lifecycle of every transaction. Our team spends an average of 30 percent less time per transaction by eliminating manual, often administrative, transaction-related processes, such as coordinating execution and generating closing books.

Expertise Our clients require sophisticated advisors with complementary experience in various disciplines. Co-Founders Mark Young and Tilly Gray bring decades of practical experience to their leadership of FourLines through their respective practice experience and the management and senior leadership positions they have held at Cassels. Partnership Through the development of meaningful and informed partnerships, FourLines is invested in enhancing existing, and creating new, client relationships. Whether they are leveraging the FourLines “toolkit” or independently deploying technologies and other scalable solutions, our team has a genuine interest in ensuring that you benefit from our expertise, including with regards to the best available tools and vendors on the market. Change Change is hard. Our team members work hand-in-hand with our clients to develop structured approaches — including thorough comprehensive planning and effective marketing — that supports smooth implementation and ensures the desired impact. We help clients think strategically, connecting areas of change to the larger goal of measurable and positive impact on an organization’s bottom-line performance. Representative Outcomes

Strategic Growth. Our clients are under pressure to optimize processes, people, and technologies, while navigating day-to-day challenges related to business growth. We have partnered with our clients to develop and implement strategic plans related to their legal operations teams and related functions, allowing them to focus on the successful operation and growth of their businesses.

Technology Audit/Roadmap. An analysis of how technology can support an organization’s business strategy and priorities is essential. We have assisted clients with prioritizing, process mapping, and planning for near- and long-term technology implementations, providing recommendations related to vendor reputation, maturity of tools, potential integrations, and identification of redundancies.

Tools to Facilitate Working Remotely. Our team developed a series of communications to support businesses working remotely, highlighting features of existing and no- or low-cost applications that, among other results, boost productivity, reduce paper, and improve collaboration.
