Sandstone Partners With LECG

Sandstone, which describes itself as a Legal Control Tower, has formed a partnership with LegalEng Consulting Group (LECG), a team focused on CLM and legal ops and which came out of Ironclad. The move follows last week’s news that Mary O’Carroll, the well-known legal ops expert, it to act as an advisor to the inhouse-focused startup.

By chance, O’Carroll also previously worked at Ironclad some years ago. Plus, one other connection….Sandstone has an integration with Ironclad as well.

CEO, Nick Fleisher, told Artificial Lawyer: ‘We’ve been working with LECG for some time, and they truly have a top tier team with best-in-class knowledge of legal ops and tooling for in-house teams.

‘We share many mutual enterprise clients already, and we see this partnership as a way to bring our software and their services to even more. It is truly a partnership from the early days of client exploration of tools and legal ops through to implementation and scaling. 

‘The fact that Mary and LECG also overlap as Mary is an advisor there is an extra bonus as we continue to shape our product and the first generation of AI-native legal departments, but was just a unique coincidence and not related!’

As to LECG, they are ‘comprised of seasoned Legal Engineers, Lawyers, and Legal Operations experts, and have built a reputation as a trusted advisor to legal teams seeking to optimize their operations’.

Through this partnership, LECG will help clients evaluate and implement Sandstone’s platform as part of their broader legal operations transformation initiatives, they added.

And as to what Sandstone’s platform does, they noted that ‘it creates a unified Legal Control Tower that connects legal workflows to business context, enabling teams to deploy AI agents in under ten minutes to automate intake, triage, first-pass redlines, and drafting from best practices’.

Lyndsey Cain, Vice President of Legal Operations Services at LECG, concluded: ‘This partnership allows us to bring a truly transformative solution to legal teams, empowering them to operate at a new level of efficiency and strategic impact.’
