interview

When you think of a General Counsel’s job description, you don’t expect it to include spending hours each week searching for contracts and answering emails with questions like, “Where’s this contract? Which document is the most recent version? Which customer does this amendment belong to?” – and similar. Neither did Thien Dinh, yet that’s exactly what his job entailed when he joined MetricStream as its GC 2019.

The MIM Software legal team, led by GC Alex Jorgensen began its quest for a contract modernization around 2020, and at first Google Drive seemed like a good way to go. After two years of muddling through this method, Alex was once again looking for a better solution to MIM’s contract management challenges. That’s when Alex heard about Pramata.

Picture this: You’re the new GC at a company without a large supporting legal team. You walk in the door, into a role in which you’re expected to manage vendor contracts, customer contracts, employee contracts, and contracts governing business relationships and partnerships.
