Crexi Uses Sandstone to Find Leverage in Scaling

The Challenge: Three Core Constraints

Before Sandstone, Crexi's legal operations were stretched across three compounding problems:

1. Fragmented, Multi-Channel Intake: Legal requests arrived through email, Slack, and other business tools with no unified system to capture, triage, or prioritize them. Managing this volume manually was both time-consuming and error-prone, making it nearly impossible to ensure nothing slipped through the cracks.
2. High-Frequency, Repetitive Work: A constant stream of routine agreements demanded attorney attention that could have been directed toward higher-value strategic work. Without automation, even low-complexity contracts consumed disproportionate legal bandwidth.
3. No Centralized Context or Precedent: Playbooks, historical positions, and business context were scattered across documents, email threads, and individual memory. Each new contract required re-gathering information that should have been instantly accessible.

The Solution: Why Sandstone?

Crexi needed a platform that could act as a force multiplier for a small team—automating the routine without sacrificing control. Sandstone was selected for three key capabilities:

• Unified Intake Across Every Channel: Sandstone consolidates legal requests from Slack, email, and other business tools into a single, organized queue. Requests are automatically captured, categorized, and routed—eliminating the chaos of managing inbound work across fragmented systems.
• Automated Drafting and Redlining: Rather than starting from scratch on routine agreements, Sandstone performs first-pass drafting and redlining based on Crexi's own precedents and playbooks. Attorneys review outcomes rather than doing the initial heavy lifting, dramatically reducing per-matter turnaround time.
• Centralized Playbooks and Business Context: Sandstone consolidates Crexi's legal precedent, negotiation positions, and business context into a single platform. Every matter begins with full context already surfaced—no hunting, no re-gathering, no guesswork.

The Results

• Scaled Without Adding Headcount: Enabled a lean legal team to support rapid business growth by automating high-frequency, low-complexity work that previously required attorney time.
• Eliminated Multi-Channel Chaos: Unified intake across all business tools into a structured, trackable queue, replacing a fragmented and reactive workflow with an organized operating system.
• Faster Contract Turnaround: Automated initial drafting and redlining workflows reduced the time attorneys spend on routine agreements, compressing turnaround from hours to minutes.
• End-to-End Visibility: Provided holistic visibility into all active matters, ensuring projects move forward without falling through the cracks or stalling on follow-up.

“By organizing our precedent, playbooks, and business context in a single platform, Sandstone gives me holistic visibility and ensures that projects are tracked and completed without wasting precious time.”
