People don’t hate lawyers. They hate not knowing what legal help will cost. That’s where predictable contract review changes the game.

At the world’s largest law firm, I billed in 6-minute increments. No one tracked how long anything should take. No standards. No timelines. Just rates—$400 to $800 an hour—and a vague promise to “bill monthly.”

When clients asked for a quote, the answer was always the same:

“It depends.”

One partner even said email had made things worse—because every email had to be printed and filed. These were the folks leading innovation in legal… and they were stuck in the past.

From the Dark Ages to Predictable Contract Review

When I moved in-house at Traction on Demand, and later at Salesforce, it felt like stepping into the future. We used Salesforce to track deals in real-time.

We knew:

  • Where deals were getting stuck
  • What was slowing them down
  • Which contracts were at risk

But legal work? Still stuck in the past. Even at a 400-person startup or a 70,000-person enterprise, reviewing contracts was slow, manual, and expensive.

That’s why predictable contract review matters.

Why I Started CFS

High-growth companies use the same contracts over and over: NDAs, MSAs, vendor agreements. They’re important. They’re repetitive. And they slow everything down.

As a lawyer, reviewing these is tedious. As a business operator, it’s worse:
You wait too long, pay too much, and still feel unclear about risk.

CFS helps you flip the script.

We deliver predictable contract review that:

  • Speeds up legal processes
  • Standardizes risk
  • Makes legal costs clear

Contract Review Shouldn’t Work Like It’s 1995

With CFS and our product, Breeze, legal finally supports growth. You’ll close deals faster, cut costs, and stop being surprised by your legal bill.

Legal should move at the speed of business.
And lawyers? They need tools, not more admin.
