NEXT Insurance standardizes contract management with Ironclad CLM and Jurist AI, achieving 100% attorney adoption
NEXT Insurance employees were signing contracts and agreeing to terms without legal review, creating significant compliance risk. Ironclad had been purchased before a dedicated legal operations role existed, and without expert implementation it was inconsistently adopted — some employees used the system while others continued to use email.

Outcome
Ironclad became mandatory for all contracts, Jurist achieved 100% user adoption in a single week, and the legal team cut the time to draft termination letters in half. The team can now demonstrate measurable AI innovation to executive leadership.
What failed first
Ironclad had been purchased but was inconsistently implemented — without a dedicated system expert, adoption was uneven and some employees bypassed the system entirely for email, creating visibility gaps.
