James O'Haughey, Chief Financial Officer, IDM

"As a consumer focussed business that is constantly evolving and looking for ways to improve the service we offer, we need legal support that is practical, proactive and responsive. Lighthouse Law has built and implemented a legal platform for us that is a one-stop shop for our legal needs, including contract automation functionality using the suite of templates they drafted for us so that we have access to the appropriate agreement in just a few simple clicks. The Lighthouse Law lawyers are also always very responsive and helpful and give efficient and practical advice."

Warren Van Rooyen, Legal Director, AB InBev

"The reports provided by Lighthouse Law contain useful management data that allow me to meet internal risk control requirements and report to internal stakeholders. It is particularly useful to be able to report on the number of contracts concluded on own paper as opposed to supplier paper. In addition, the reports enable me to justify the expenditure on external legal counsel and calculate the return on investment."

Warren Van Rooyen, Legal Director, AB InBev

Morne Patterson, Chief Financial Officer, 1-Grid

"Our business is fast-paced and growing quickly, and we need legal support that is practical, innovative and available. The Lighthouse Lawyers are responsive and provide practical advice to assist us to close deals as quickly and efficiently as possible. They have also been helping us to update and streamline our online terms and conditions to achieve a customer friendly set of terms that covers our risks. Lighthouse uses technology to drive innovation and we are working together to further develop the products that we can offer our customers on our website. We were looking for lawyers who would act as our partners as we grow our business and Lighthouse Law has consistently met this requirement. It is comforting knowing that we have legal support that has the best interests of our business at heart."

James O'Haughey, Chief Financial Officer, IDM

“IDM have implemented LightHub in our procurement and contracting space. It's helped us ensure that all of our contracting needs are in one place, from implementation of the contract through to electronic signature and contract storage. Because it's automated, we have control over the templates and can effect automation changes and updates easily for future contracts. We also have access to a very useful contracting handbook which we refer to throughout the contracting process. LightHub is also backed by Lighthouse which means that we have lawyers available to assist in the more difficult or complicated contracts.”
