Case Study: Ovid Therapeutics eliminates version-control headaches and streamlines contract management with LawVu

How Ovid Therapeutics reduces risk with LawVu

Ovid Therapeutics, a Nasdaq‑listed biopharmaceutical company of about 80 employees working on therapies for Angelman Syndrome, Fragile X and rare epilepsies, needed a better way to manage CDAs, consulting agreements, MSAs and sponsored research agreements. Senior Director of Legal and Compliance Danielle Mann replaced an inadequate project tool with LawVu to gain stronger customer support, customization and a user‑friendly contract management solution.

LawVu implemented a central contract repository with built‑in version control, comment threads, audit trails and a phased rollout supported by interactive training and a multidisciplinary project team. As a result LawVu eliminated version‑control and tracking issues, put all contracts in one hub, created transparent review and approval workflows, captured internal and external conversations, and increased cross‑departmental accountability — giving Ovid an auditable footprint of every contract.
