Across more than 150 leading law firms, SimplyAgree has been used to close over 100,000 complex transactions. Yet, before adopting SimplyAgree, most firms faced the same challenge: closing inefficiency.
Manually assembling signature packets, tracking signers across endless email threads, and stitching together closing binders by hand costs firms thousands of non-billable hours every year. Those inefficiencies compound and slow client deliveries, frustrate attorneys, and drain value from firm operations.
So when firms decide to solve this expensive problem, the natural next question is: how quickly can they see ROI with SimplyAgree? The answer, as countless firm rollouts have proven, is “remarkably fast.”
From a technical standpoint, SimplyAgree’s implementation is simple by design. The platform has a lightweight technical footprint: it’s browser-based, requires no complex integrations, and can be hosted in the cloud, in a virtual private cloud (VPC), or on-premises if needed.
Setup, including DocuSign, DMS, and SSO integrations, can often be completed in about an hour, typically on a single call with SimplyAgree’s engineering team. One firm reported holding its setup call in the morning and having deal teams using SimplyAgree productively that same afternoon.
Firm IT teams love that SimplyAgree minimizes their workload. Their role is typically limited to initial security review and DMS connection, with ongoing user support handled directly by SimplyAgree’s responsive support team. When firm IT does get looped in, it’s only when a firm system issue arises—so internal resources stay focused on higher priorities.
Every firm’s rollout starts with a targeted, strategic onboarding plan. SimplyAgree typically begins with one key practice group: a pilot group or power-user team that’s already familiar with the platform from demos or trial use. This approach ensures a quick, visible win and sets the stage for organic expansion.
From there, adoption naturally spreads across the group as users experience the ease and speed of SimplyAgree firsthand. Meanwhile, SimplyAgree works with firm stakeholders to identify other high-impact groups to begin rollout.
The onboarding program follows a clear, phased approach:
Trainings are tailored to each practice group’s unique workflows. For example, corporate teams may focus on signature packet automation, while finance teams dive deeper into binder automation and audit trail features.
Many legal tech tools launch with promise but stall after an initial pilot. SimplyAgree avoids that fate through a hands-on, partnership-driven approach to adoption.
Because SimplyAgree’s pricing model includes unlimited transactions and users, our goal is to maximize your ROI: the more attorneys and paralegals who adopt the tool, the greater the ROI for the firm.
To support change management, SimplyAgree provides:
One major differentiator: SimplyAgree’s Customer Success team. It’s the largest department at the company after engineering, reflecting SimplyAgree’s deep investment in customer outcomes. Your dedicated CSM remains engaged well beyond rollout, providing continuous support, adoption insights, and tailored enablement plans as your usage scales. Their continued dedication to your firm’s success with SimplyAgree is evident in our average adoption growth over time:
The chart above maps average usage across SimplyAgree’s AmLaw 100-200 customers during their first two years using the tool.
SimplyAgree equips firm stakeholders with transparent data to understand and demonstrate the value of their investment. In quarterly reviews, your CSM shares both firm-specific usage analytics and market-level benchmarks to help quantify performance and ROI.
We tend to measure ROI in two distinct ways:
SimplyAgree helps firms recover revenue from unbillable work by streamlining closing mechanics—work clients are least likely to pay for. Among AmLaw 200 firms, approximately one in ten billable hours is written off. But for closing work, write-offs can reach 40–60%. By automating these low-value administrative tasks, SimplyAgree helps bring realization on closing work in line with firmwide averages, recovering thousands in otherwise lost revenue.
A simple ROI model compares average hours billed on closing work, junior associate rates, and typical write-offs, both pre- and post-SimplyAgree. The delta represents recovered revenue, and even after subtracting SimplyAgree’s subscription cost, firms see substantial net returns.
Above is a conservative calculation of expected ROI with SimplyAgree. This calculation assumes 25% write-offs with SimplyAgree; we often see write-offs decrease even more substantially at our customer firms, setting around the industry standard for non-closing work (10%).
Beyond reducing write-offs, SimplyAgree also helps deal teams work more efficiently, resulting in both time savings and the ability to turn their attention to more substantive legal work. Efficiency gains extend across every phase of a transaction:
The result: faster closings, happier teams, and measurable time savings that translate directly into ROI. As usage grows, your CSM will use your actual transaction averages—signatures and documents per deal—to calculate the real time (and money) your firm has saved.
The most powerful proof of SimplyAgree’s impact comes from the attorneys and paralegals who use it every day. Across firms, several themes emerge:
“When dealing with high document volumes, I would estimate that signature packet assembly through SimplyAgree takes me less than a third of the time it would to assemble packets manually. It vastly reduces the risk of error and produces a more organized final packet. SimplyAgree has been a crucial addition to my closing workflow.”
“SimplyAgree is incredible. It’s easy, intuitive, clean, and fast. What used to take hours and involve third parties now takes minutes. You can drag and drop, reorder, and preview with ease. The end result is a fully hyperlinked, professional binder that makes you look like a superstar.”
“The biggest selling point for me is that I don’t have to spend my time telling everyone else the status. SimplyAgree answers those pain points that used to take extra emails. Everyone can see what’s signed, what’s ready, and what’s left to do.”
“With SimplyAgree, we finally have a solution for the closing mechanics that used to slow us down: signature pages, DocuSign packets, signature matrices, and variables that actually work. It fixes the friction between associates and paralegals and brings visibility to the whole team.”
SimplyAgree’s customers consistently report the same core outcomes:
By making closings simpler, faster, and more consistent, firms can take an expensive problem and quickly turn it into an industry-leading process.
