Create scalable playbooks: Develop training, resources, and case studies that make adoption smoother across clients.
Show impact: Help firms measure ROI and highlight wins - from faster drafting to better client service.
Shape the role: This is a new function at August. You'll help define what "Legal Product" means here as we scale.
