Ep 254: In the Wake of KKR's Acquisition of CLM Company Agiloft, CEO Eric Laughlin Discusses Its Past and Future

Last month, KKR, a major global investment firm, announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire a majority stake in Agiloft, the contract lifecycle management company. As part of the deal, the growth equity firm FTV Capital, already an Agiloft investor, is making an additional investment, and another growth equity firm, JMI Equity, is joining as a new investor. The deal was a feather in the cap for Eric Laughlin, who joined Agiloft as CEO in 2020 after leading the Pangea3 business at Thomson Reuters. When Laughlin stepped into that role, Agiloft had been in business for 30 years, and he succeeded a predecessor who had been CEO for nearly all that time. He came aboard just as the company had raised its first-ever outside funding round, tasked with the mission of taking the company to its next level of growth.  During his tenure, the company has earned a reputation as a leading innovator in the CLM space, including in its development of features based on artificial intelligence, and it has significantly grown both its workforce and its global customer base. Laughlin has also strengthened his own reputation as a leader who believes that employee experience is as important as customer experience.  In March 2021, not long after he joined Agiloft, Laughlin was our guest on this show to talk about his plans for the company. On today's episode, he returns to discuss how Agiloft has grown during his four-year tenure and to share his thoughts on the contract lifecycle management landscape, now and into the future.  Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

The sell-side has also been a focus. But historically we've noticed that it's actually born from the buy side.” - Prashant[03:43] - “The relationship between procurement and legal sometimes has bordered on adversarial because business drivers for procurement organizations are not just how do I get the best price and consolidate vendors, but it's really about managing categories from a strategic perspective .” - Prashant[08:51] - “Most CLM systems of basic functionality will have the ability to have a playbook in place with a clause library, fallback provisions that you can select a way to tag those particular provisions with different levels of risk or desirability from a company's perspective.” - Prashant [11:36] - “Sometimes intake can drive that dynamic creation of a template using clauses that are ultimate provisions that you can use having a base template and then using alternate provisions based on the intake requirements to create something that's purpose-built for the transaction.” - Prashant[21:00] - “It takes a pretty high degree of maturity as an organization to have a robust single source of truth repository that's high integrity that people rely on.” - Prashant[30:52] “If there's a degree of preparation that involves these kinds of collaborative discussions, it creates a good foundation for trust between the organizations.” - PrashantUSEFUL RESOURCES & LINKS:Agiloft WebsitePrashant Dubey on LinkedInThe Contract Heroes Podcaston Apple Podcastson SpotifyThe Contract Heroes Official WebsiteMarc Doucette on LinkedInPepe Toriello on LinkedIn

He has advised on all manner of hotel-related agreements throughout Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Previously, before joining Accor, he led legal and risk in India, the Middle East, and Africa. James is a solicitor of England and Wales, with an economics and finance degree, and a father of twin boys.During our conversation, James shares his background and how he ended up in his current role. The discussion focuses on legal operations and implementing  technology at Accor. James explains the initiatives they have taken to streamline legal processes and improve collaboration between legal and other business departments. He also discusses the implementation process of their contract lifecycle management system and highlights the importance of evaluating and re-evaluating processes. James discusses a significant aspect of their discussion, which revolved around the learnings from a previous CLM implementation. He shares how they have used that knowledge to avoid making the same mistakes with their new vendor, Agiloft. By reflecting on past experiences, James and his team have gained valuable insights that inform their approach to implementing the contract lifecycle management system, ensuring a more successful outcome with Agiloft.WHAT WE DISCUSS:[00:30] - James' career background and how he ended up as Deputy General Counsel at Accor[03:33] - James' key initiatives to align and streamline legal processes at Accor[09:34] - James' approaches to CLM implementation and the role of external consulting firms[11:34] - Evaluating tools and processes[12:47] - Considerations during the evaluation and implementation of a CLM tool[13:58] - James' experience of extracting data from legacy contracts and the challenges they faced in manually extracting over 300 pieces[16:15] - Strategies for successful implementation of complex systems, focusing on phased approaches and user adoption[20:28] - The importance of integrating different systems within organizations and the challenges it poses.[24:38] - James' considerations and options for post go-live support and system administration in implementing and evolving organizational CLM solutions[27:59] - Continuous improvement of operational effectiveness[30:46] - Speeding up the contracting process[33:47] - How success is measured in implementing a software solution[37:08] - James' tips for a successful contract management processNOTABLE QUOTES:[00:10:05] - “When you're trying to load lots of different templates into a solution, or you've got lots of different processes that vary regionally, of course it's really hard to get that to work when there's so much complexity. So we realized that that was something we should have done, probably more of.”- James[00:30:16] - “If there's one thing that I can suggest young in-house lawyers do is to really understand the business that they're in, because there's often a criticism that I hear about, Well, do they really understand me?

This week I'm delighted to discuss company culture with Wren Cotrone, Director of Customer Support at Agiloft. Wren believes that culture is the most important aspect of running a department. Over his career, Wren has seen the good, the bad and the ugly, including toxic red flags, so he's got plenty of wisdom and advice to share. Treating people with respect and dignity, providing the best tools, and procedures can empower a workforce leading to personal success. Ultimately, this trickles down to, and manifests itself as an amazing customer experience. Wren points out how research such as the Forrester 2020 Report are playing their part, highlighting why companies can no longer neglect to invest in culture. A fascinating insight, where the stakes have never been so great. Enjoy the show.

No sector of the legal technology market is hotter right now than contract lifecycle management. And while that sector is crowded with companies that are relative newcomers, one of the companies making the biggest waves is 30 years old.  Over the past year, Agiloft, the no-code CLM company, raised $45 million in growth equity funding – its first outside funding ever – named a new CEO and management team, saw its sales increase 124%, and won several industry awards and recognitions, most recently the Business Intelligence Group product Innovation award for its AI Core contract management software.  Joining LawNext today is Eric Laughlin, who took over as Agiloft’s CEO last August. Agiloft’s former CEO for nearly 30 years, Colin Earl, hand-picked Laughlin – who spent many years at Thomson Reuters in a series of executive roles, leading TR’s legal managed services offerings and its corporate segment – to take the company to its next level of growth.  Laughlin and host Bob Ambrogi discuss the CLM market and why it has surged in recent years, and Laughlin shares his view on where his company fits into that market, now and into the future.  Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

In this episode I caught up with Agiloft's new (ish) CEO Eric Laughlin. He tells me all about the  company's recent $45m investment. Bootstrapped since its inception in 1990 and profitable, Agiloft's this is the company's first round of external funding and will be used to accelerate its product development and expand its vertical and geographic market presence.Eric most recently served as global leader of legal managed services at EY, where he managed the Pangea3 and Riverview Law teams. Prior to EY he was managing director of the corporate segment within Thomson Reuters and used to run Serengeti, which went on to become Legal Tracker. Like me, he's not a lawyer, but unlike me, he's a super smart guy who is at the forefront of legal engineering and enterprise transformation.He see contracts as the DNA in an organisation - and thinks companies should care about what is deep coded within them so they understand their risks, but also can benefit more fully from what is contained with in them.He also is passionate about culture and the relationships his teams build with customers.  Eric says being relationship driven and being very transparent, are cornerstones of any good culture and definitely Agiloft's.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.This is Equity Monday, our weekly kickoff that tracks the latest big news, chats about the coming week, digs into some recent funding rounds and mulls over a larger theme or narrative from the private markets. You can follow the show on Twitter here, and myself here, and don’t forget to check out last Friday’s episode.This morning we had a bit of a detour, wandering into the world of BigTech to wonder what is going on with those megacorps. Too big for their own good, or too big to be good, here's what's up with the incumbents:Germany is taking on Amazon at the very same time that Canada is taking on Amazon, meaning that the Seattle giant is taking shots from two key markets at the same time.Google is having a war of words with Australia, after a ruling in the country didn't go its way.Walled gardens are seeing their walls come under heavy fire, which means that Apple and Google are fighting both sides of their marketplaces (producers, consumers) at once at the moment, which isn't great.And Microsoft might buy TikTok.All told it seems that the biggest tech companies are busy defending their market position instead of re-earning it with great products. A good time for startups? I think so. When incumbents are busy fighting with governments, themselves, and each other, it's a great time to show up, steal a march, and build neat products that take away their momentum.On the funding front, we peeked at the neat Help Lightning round, the Agiloft investment, and the Vertafore exit.And then there was this report concerning Asana, which is growing nicely for a company of its size and could actually be cheap at its current price? Anyway, we want the company to get on with getting public so that we can read its S-1 filing. Give it to us!All that and we had some fun, chat soon!
