Case Study: Campbell Killin Brittan & Ray LLC achieves 50% time savings on document organization and 75% faster closing binders with Workshare

Bringing transparency and order to a traditionally chaotic and stressful process

Denver commercial law firm Campbell Killin Brittan & Ray LLC (CKBR), a 15‑lawyer practice handling dozens of single‑lender and syndicated loan transactions each year, found staff spending more time managing emails and multiple file versions than advising clients. The email‑based process created confusion over current documents, overloaded inboxes and a lengthy post‑closing cleanup.

In mid‑2015 CKBR implemented Workshare’s Deal Checklists, using checklist‑based shared workspaces to centralize drafts, execution versions, schedules and signed documents and to assemble closing binders quickly. After running about 50 transactions (150+ external participants) through Workshare, the firm reports roughly 50% less time on document organization, 75% faster closing binder preparation, 80% fewer file‑exchange emails and clearer, more transparent deals that clients now request.
