Contour was founded by engineers from leading technology firms like Google, Tesla, and Apple. We observed the legal field's potential for optimization and saw an opportunity to apply rigorous, first-principles thinking to solve complex operational challenges.
Our mission is to eliminate friction points, automate the mundane, and empower legal professionals to focus on high-value, strategic work. We approach legal operations as an engineering challenge, seeking elegant, robust solutions that deliver measurable improvements in speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness.
Our approach is defined by a core set of values that guide every engagement and solution we build.
