Case Study: Circle, a financial technology firm, achieves 5 days saved per month and clearer legal-spend visibility with SimpleLegal

Circle streamlines approval processes saving 5 days of work per month

Circle, a privately held fintech that enables businesses to use stablecoins and public blockchains for payments and e-commerce, faced delays and limited scalability because invoices were handled manually—emailed to the legal team, approved, then forwarded to accounts payable. To streamline invoice intake and approvals, Circle implemented SimpleLegal’s legal operations management platform (including CounselGO e-billing).

SimpleLegal centralized invoice approvals, provided dashboards and matter-level reporting (including the Spend Dashboard), and got outside firms to submit invoices in the system. As a result, Circle gained clear visibility into legal spend, identified cost-saving opportunities, improved finance–legal coordination, and saved approximately 5 days of work per month.
