Case Study: Accession identifies $1.4M in ROI and cuts contracting time 96% with LinkSquares
Key results
The challenge
Accession Risk Management Group's legal team was handling a large volume of contracting work — more than 1,300 hours in a single year — without a centralized system. Business units lacked visibility and control over their own activity, and the legal team was overwhelmed. The goal was to give the business more freedom without losing legal oversight.
The solution
Accession implemented LinkSquares and shifted toward self-service workflows, training business teams to use the system independently while tagging legal only when higher-level expertise was needed. The team used AI-assisted review to locate specific provisions in complex 80-plus-page contracts and used executive dashboards to quantify ROI against the team's blended rate.
“LinkSquares has definitely not only performed, but even outperformed what we had hoped for.”

The results, in context
According to the story, Accession reduced contracting time from more than 1,300 hours to just 43 hours, a 96% reduction, and cut legal queue wait times from nearly 197 hours to 55.5 hours (over 70%). Using the executive dashboard, the team identified a total of $1.4 million in ROI since implementation.
