We’re a group of in-house GCs with 15+ years of experience in SMB and midmarket organizations. We started Clause & Current because too many conversations about contracts and legal operations either get lost in jargon or float up into theory.

At the end of the day, most of us in-house are dealing with very practical questions: How do I make our contract process faster without creating risk? Which technology investments actually pay off? How do I prove to the business that legal isn’t just a cost center?

This blog is where we dig into those questions. After more that a decade sitting between legal, finance, procurement, and the business, we know what it feels like to be asked to cut costs while also being told to move faster and support growth.

At Clause and Current, you’ll find:

• Contract operations stories: what’s working in practice, not just what consultants put in slide decks.
• Technology breakdowns: how CLM, AI, and workflow tools actually perform when real teams adopt them.
• ROI frameworks: practical ways to measure efficiency, savings, and business value so you can make the case for investment.
• Benchmarks and trends: data-driven context that helps you see where your department stands and where the market is moving.

The “Clause” in the name speaks to the everyday realities of contracts: the work of drafting, negotiating, and managing agreements. The “Current” reflects the forces shaping how we do that work today: technology shifts, business demands, and the constant push to show measurable impact.

Our goal is simple: to give legal and business professionals practical, straight-talk analysis that helps them make better decisions about contracts, operations, and the tools we use to manage both.
