Case Study: Cockroach Labs scales legal operations with LawVu

Cockroach Labs playbook for preparing their legal department for growth

Cockroach Labs, a New York-based tech company with a small in-house legal team, needed a better way to manage growing legal volume as the business scaled. Relying on email had become cumbersome for handling matters, tracking requests, and maintaining visibility across the team, creating a risk of fragmented processes and inefficiency. LawVu’s legal workspace and contract automation tools were brought in to support the team’s growth.

LawVu helped Cockroach Labs centralize legal work into a single system, create a structured intake process through a business portal, and automate repetitive tasks like NDAs. The team reported stronger collaboration, better transparency, and easier coverage when team members were away, while also gaining reporting insights to spot trends and reduce urgent requests. LawVu delivered measurable time savings, including about three business days saved per lawyer on NDA creation, while helping Cockroach Labs scale its legal operations more effectively.
