Case Study: TIME achieves secure, self-service contract drafting and execution with LinkSquares

TIME Provides Secure Self-Service Drafting and Execution with LinkSquares

TIME, the century-old publishing and media company, was facing rapid growth across print, film, TV and digital channels while its six-person legal team struggled to manage more than 130 contracts per month. After a previous contract platform suffered from low adoption, costly customization and no ongoing support, TIME selected LinkSquares and its suite — LinkSquares Finalize, LinkSquares Sign and LinkSquares Analyze — to centralize and secure drafting, execution and storage.

LinkSquares implemented pre‑approved templates for self‑service drafting, a centralized request intake, automated spend‑based routing to finance/IT/legal, integrated e‑signatures, and AI tagging with permissioning. The result: People & Culture now self‑execute routine contracts, legacy documents were centralized, Zahreen can monitor turnaround and approval dashboards, and items that once took hours to find are surfaced in under five minutes. LinkSquares also saved TIME the cost of hiring outside developers and improved visibility, approval speed and contract governance.
