I needed a tool that could help me with more complicated documents, not just simple ones. The IntelAgree team was great at coming up with the best questions, format, and system to accomplish that.

— Chalegne O'Brien, General Counsel, Farmer CompaniesThe challenge
A solo attorney with limited bandwidth
As the only attorney on the team, Farmer Companies' general counsel was used to having more resources available. Inconsistent contract creation raised risk, bandwidth to generate contracts at scale was limited, and there was no repository for storing executed contracts.
The solution
Self-service templates and a clause library
IntelAgree's implementation team built 39 complete contract templates through weekly collaboration and created a personalized 15-clause library to speed negotiation and drafting. Self-service creation lets the team generate contracts without errors.
The results
Capacity and savings like a new hire
Farmer Companies saved nearly $30,000 on staffing and document storage, freed up time for higher-priority work, and gained the capacity to handle more complex documents independently.
- ✓ 15 clauses created for clause library
- ✓ ~$30,000 saved on staffing and document storage
- ✓ 39 complete contract templates drafted
"When I moved from the law firm to being the only attorney on a team, it was an adjustment because I was used to having more resources available."
— Chalegne O'Brien, General Counsel, Farmer Companies"After the initial training, IntelAgree provided follow-up training a week after, which was a great reminder for people to use the platform that week and start practicing with it."
— Chalegne O'Brien, General Counsel, Farmer Companies"In a way, it's like having an AI-based paralegal."
— Chalegne O'Brien, General Counsel, Farmer Companies"What drew me to IntelAgree was the idea that I could have a contract template that asks a few simple questions and automatically inputs the data."
— Chalegne O'Brien, General Counsel, Farmer Companies"Now, we're using the platform to generate contracts without errors, and we're slowly rolling it out so that our other offices can feel empowered to create their own agreements."
— Chalegne O'Brien, General Counsel, Farmer Companies"Previously, if I looked at a contract and they didn't have prevailing attorneys' fees language, for example, it would take a lot of time for me to find the right language and insert it. But to have a library of these terms where you can find what you need immediately, and just add it with the click of a button, is really valuable."
— Chalegne O'Brien, General Counsel, Farmer Companies"IntelAgree helps me complete the smaller tasks faster, which means I have more time for more important things. And when you factor in commute time and the cost of hiring an additional team member, the benefit of IntelAgree is that it's really like having someone in all places at all times, without the high price tag."
