Our take
High-volume legal work can be a drag for large enterprises, who end up straining their internal resources or their bottom line as they outsource the work. Ontra (previously InCloudCounsel) slides in as a solution to this problem by pairing businesses with a network of freelance corporate lawyers to manage their routine legal work in a more cost-effective way.
In addition to enterprises, the company is an attractive proposition for lawyers who want a more flexible working life than Big Law can usually offer. Ontra attempts to avoid direct confrontation with Big Law by focusing more on routine work and document management tasks.
Following Ontra's healthy investment, the company has made some pretty big strategic moves - mainly driving product growth, onboarding top people onto its Board of Directors team and acquiring smaller companies like FundFormer and Captain to improve its product capabilities.
