How ECS Limited doubled review speed and accelerated deal closures

Overview

ECS Limited, a national leader in environmental consulting and engineering, is no stranger to high-volume, high-stakes projects. From construction and compliance to infrastructure and inspection, the firm’s work touches nearly every corner of the built environment. But behind every engagement lies a contract—and as business scaled, the pace of legal review couldn’t keep up.

Contracts were arriving in all shapes and formats: locked PDFs, inconsistent Word docs, and customer-generated templates that offered little room for flexibility. The Legal team was spending more time untangling document formats than providing strategic input. Turnaround lagged. Opportunities were delayed. Resources were stretched thin.

To break the cycle, ECS turned to DocJuris.

Challenge

What slowed ECS down wasn’t just volume—it was friction. Incoming contracts often arrived in restricted formats that couldn’t be edited or reviewed efficiently. Converting documents became a task of its own, and by the time Legal teams were ready to negotiate, the clock had already cost them valuable time.

This inefficiency didn’t just affect internal operations. It impacted the company’s ability to compete. The longer a contract sat in Legal, the longer it took to close deals and move forward with clients—many of whom expected quick turnarounds.

And with no new headcount in sight, Legal needed to find a smarter way to handle the growing workload.

Solution

DocJuris provided a streamlined alternative to the manual grind. With integrated document conversion and clause playbooks, ECS was able to change how contracts were reviewed and approved—without overhauling their entire system.

The platform’s conversion tools made it easy to work with customer-submitted PDFs and locked files. Instead of spending hours reformatting, ECS could drop the document into DocJuris and get straight to work. Routine markups became automated. Policy-aligned language was suggested in context. And Legal no longer had to rebuild redlines from scratch for every agreement.

By shifting from reactive reviews to proactive, policy-guided workflows, ECS doubled its review speed. The Legal team gained the bandwidth to support more contracts in less time—and redirected their focus to supporting business strategy and accelerating deals, not paperwork.
