Challenge
Engagement letters arrive in unpredictable spikes. When several client markups landed at once, the five-person M&A legal team faced slower turnaround on review and redlines—with no appetite to add permanent headcount.
Approach
Axiom deployed one attorney with financial-services and AI experience. Working from the team's own negotiator's guide, they built a DraftPilot playbook for M&A engagement letters, live within one week, then trained the team and absorbed overflow review directly.
Impact
-
~40% less time per engagement-letter markup, by the lead attorney's estimate.
-
Overflow absorbed without a permanent hire or outside counsel.
-
DraftPilot surfaced redline points beyond the playbook the team now plans to adopt.
