How Earthly revolutionised their legal processes and increased efficiency

Earthly’s journey to simplify legal operations began with a pressing need: freeing up time and resources to focus on their core mission of driving environmental sustainability. Legal matters, however, were a constant roadblock. Without an in-house legal team, the responsibility for contracts and compliance fell on Jade, the CFO, and other senior management. The process was expensive, time-consuming, and heavily reliant on external legal counsel—a solution that was neither efficient nor scalable.

When Earthly prepared to launch its latest funding round, the challenge became clear. Jade needed Investor Agreements (IAs) drafted, a task that had previously involved back-and-forth with law firms, dragging out timelines and inflating costs. This time, Earthly turned to Pocketlaw. Using Pocketlaw’s Investor Agreement template, Jade created and shared the document with investors in just 30 minutes. The result? A 90% cost saving on their fundraising agreements, with only the cost of their Pocketlaw subscription.

Pocketlaw didn’t just save money; it transformed how Earthly worked. Updates and changes were seamlessly tracked within a single document, eliminating the confusion of managing multiple versions. Their legal documents, once scattered and hard to find, were now securely stored in a centralised data room—accessible within seconds. Contracts that used to rely on external reviews could now be managed internally by the commercial and research teams. NDAs, hiring contracts, and sales agreements were handled with newfound speed and autonomy, giving the senior leadership team the freedom to focus on strategic priorities.

Beyond efficiency, Pocketlaw’s template library and compliance tools became Earthly’s legal safety net. Without an in-house legal function, staying on top of regulatory requirements had always been a challenge. With Pocketlaw’s guidance, Earthly could confidently navigate legal complexities and ensure compliance in every jurisdiction.

For Earthly, Pocketlaw wasn’t just a tool; it was a game-changer. By streamlining legal processes, reducing costs, and empowering teams across the organization, Earthly could channel their energy where it mattered most: creating a sustainable future for the planet.
