Headspace's legal department faced an overwhelming workload managing enterprise customer procurement processes. With only two full-time in-house attorneys, the team struggled to balance routine contract reviews with strategic legal analysis. Commercial review tasks consumed excessive time, leaving little capacity for higher-level issue spotting and comprehensive legal program oversight. The team implemented flexible, pay-as-you-go supplemental legal support to take over commercial review work. This shifted routine contract review responsibilities off the in-house attorneys. The approach helped the department better allocate time across enterprise procurement needs and higher-level legal analysis. As a result, the in-house team focused more on strategic issue spotting rather than contract details. The department gained a broader perspective on overall legal program oversight. Budget planning shifted work away from traditional law firms and toward this supplemental support. The engagement reported a 100% success rate with quality talent placement.
