Case Study: KidKraft achieves an efficient, streamlined billing process and clearer spend visibility with SimpleLegal

Hard data & accountability help Kidkraft create an efficient billing process

KidKraft, a global maker of children’s furniture and play sets, needed to build an efficient legal operation from scratch and struggled with time-consuming, manual outside‑counsel billing and matter tracking. After evaluating options at the ACC conference, General Counsel Jonathan Hawkins selected SimpleLegal’s e‑Billing and matter management platform for its ease of use, low implementation burden, and fit with KidKraft’s budget and goals.

SimpleLegal was implemented as KidKraft’s system of record, giving immediate visibility into spend, centralized invoices and matter details, and easy reporting for budgeting and accounting. The SimpleLegal platform eliminated manual processes, saved countless hours, freed the GC to focus on strategic work, and made onboarding new legal staff simpler; KidKraft now plans to integrate SimpleLegal with its upcoming ERP for further efficiencies.
