Jann is incredibly fast and responsive. We can't be more impressed by how she was able to learn our very confusing landscape so quickly.

Business Case

Reduced legal billing by 60% while scaling rapidly before Expedia acquisition

Pillow

Pillow's CEO relied on an expensive big tech law firm ($400-600/hour) with slow responses and required significant personal oversight. As the company scaled rapidly with doubled headcount, Sean Conway needed to reduce legal costs while maintaining quality. UpCounsel Enterprise provided a dedicated account manager who hand-selected attorneys specializing in immigration, contract management, and real estate—Pillow's core legal needs.

Key Results
  • 60% reduction in legal billing
  • Shifted from 20% to 80% of legal work to UpCounsel within first year
  • Saved over $3,000 on employment matters alone
