Case Study: Dropbox keeps more contract work in-house with Spellbook

Dropbox speeds contract reviews and builds playbooks in minutes with Spellbook

The commercial legal team at Dropbox faced the challenge of managing a high volume and wide variety of contracts with a small in-house team. They had an extensive but hard-to-search template library and often encountered unique agreements that required expertise beyond their immediate experience. This led to heavy reliance on slower methods like searching for precedents or engaging outside counsel, creating bottlenecks. To address this, they turned to the AI tool Spellbook.

Spellbook provided a solution by leveraging AI trained specifically on legal contracts, including Dropbox's own documents. It enabled attorneys to quickly draft and review contracts, reverse agreement structures, and build standardized playbooks with minimal training. The results were significant: the team can now handle over 200 contracts monthly more efficiently, closing deals like an expedited agreement that previously would have required outside counsel. By using Spellbook, Dropbox's legal team has reduced grunt work, accelerated the creation of standardized playbooks from a multi-quarter to a concurrent process, and keeps more work in-house, allowing lawyers to focus on strategic tasks.
