How Balfour Beatty Scaled from $400M to $1B Without Adding Legal Headcount

With hundreds of projects in motion and legal resources stretched thin, Balfour Beatty needed a smarter way to scale without sacrificing control. Manual contract reviews were slow, inconsistent, and overly dependent on senior legal time, creating risk as the company grew.

By leveraging Document Crunch, they streamlined contract workflows, enhanced visibility across the project lifecycle, and equipped teams with the tools to manage risk confidently. With project teams now able to understand and act on contracts independently, Balfour Beatty enabled faster, more consistent, and compliant decision-making at scale.

  • Hundreds of hours saved annually, freeing legal leadership to focus on higher-value work

  • Scalable growth without hiring, tripling revenue while keeping legal headcount flat

  • Fewer disputes, better compliance thanks to early risk detection and consistent contract execution
