Contract Lifecycle Management

Our Contract Management as a Service (CMaaS), the firm's integrated commercial contracting approach, helps organisations to work smarter, faster and more collaboratively to improve contract compliance, speed up time to market and reduce revenue leakage delivering at least five times return on investment. This service, a perfect blend of human and AI enhanced technology backbone with comprehensive dashboard reporting is key to an effective solution.

We have a proven day-1 solution that immediately relieves the burden from your legal teams and allows you to gain greater cost control over your contracting work. Pricing is transparent and fixed from day one.

CMaaS offers:

    • Template, process and playbook optimisation.
    • AI-enabled end-to-end contract negotiation (both commercial and financial documentation.) 
    • Data management for enhanced strategic insight.
    • Flexible project-based support for regulatory compliance, pre-deal M&A due diligence and post deal integration.

We know what a ‘tailored’ solution looks like, we deliver measurable outcomes with transparent pricing and fast onboarding taking the burden away from you.

Highlights of recent works include:

  • Transforming contracting for a global biotech company: from operational bottlenecks to scalable legal delivery with CMaaS.
  • Transforming legal operations for a digital bank.
  • A long-term partnership delivering scalable, on-demand contract support and operational excellence.

  • Cognia stand out for their ability to deliver high‑quality, embedded legal support that genuinely operates as an extension of the in‑house team. Cognia’s lawyers integrate quickly, understand internal processes and risk frameworks, and take ownership of matters with minimal oversight. Their approach is highly pragmatic and commercially-focused, enabling them to progress time‑critical documentation efficiently and materially improve turnaround times during peak workload periods.

  • What stands out about the firm is its ability to combine fast, uncomplicated resourcing with a delivery model that embeds itself smoothly into an existing way of working. Support can be mobilised quickly and integrated with minimal disruption, and once in place, it operates with a level of consistency and quality that genuinely reduces pressure on internal teams. The secondees go beyond simply picking up day‑to‑day work; they help improve the way the team functions by developing playbooks, guidance and repeatable processes that continue to add value long after the engagement finishes.
