“Bigle Legal is a Legaltech solution from start to finish”

What is Bigle Legal?

Bigle Legal is an end-to-end legaltech document automation solution. The solution covers the 5 steps of any document flow, (1) automatic creation using a web form system, (2) sharing the document in one click, (3) validating the documentation online by the supervisor, (4) formalizing the document using an advanced electronic signature, and (5) archiving the document in the cloud. Something that used to take an average of 120 minutes, now with Bigle Legal it can be completed in less than 10 minutes.

What are the benefits of hiring Bigle Legal?

The advantages are very clear, (i) the increase in productivity, (ii) the elimination of errors in paperwork, and (iii) the acceleration of sales or contractual operations. In addition, as it is a digital solution, our clients obtain absolute and real-time control over various aspects of the document flow, such as: the responsible user, the state in which each document is located (if it is validated, pending signature, signed, etc.), version control (to prevent users from using outdated versions due to changes in regulations or internal policy), and so on.

How did Bigle Legal come about?

Well, Bigle Legal was born out of suffering in my own flesh as a commercial lawyer managing manual paperwork. I had to spend many hours a day creating contracts manually, either by drafting from scratch or copying and pasting templates, and it's repetitive and doesn't provide any added value. I realized that it could be automated and thus freed up time for professionals so that they can dedicate themselves to tasks with greater added value. And that's when Bigle Legal was born.

Who are your customers and what is the main value you provide to them?

Our customers are companies, we don't distinguish by industry. However, we are aimed at companies that frequently manage documents in their daily lives. The main value we bring to the company is security. With Bigle Legal, companies can be sure that the documents are error-free and that they follow the patterns set by the company's legal counsel, since users cannot leave the script.

If you had to define Bigle Legal with a word or phrase, what would it be and why?

Innovation. It's in our DNA and defines us. We are constantly reviewing our hypotheses and researching the latest technologies. Always waiting for a new solution to be incorporated into our product. Always with the goal of making life easier for our customers. In a world as competitive as that of software, innovation is what makes the difference between successful software and one that will fade into oblivion over time.

What's the most important lesson you've learned as an entrepreneur?

You have to make him want to. Things cannot be done half-heartedly, if they are done, they are done well and with all the consequences. The path of entrepreneurship is a roller coaster ride, there will be moments of crisis, but also some downturns, so it's important not to give up, trust yourself and your team and move forward with enthusiasm.

What does participating in the Santalucía Impulsa acceleration program mean for you?

It's a great opportunity for Bigle Legal to work with a leading company with more than 100 years of experience that is betting so much on digitalization. It's an honor. We believe that we can learn many things from each other and grow together.

What does it mean for you as an entrepreneur?

As an entrepreneur it is a great motivation. It's a big challenge and in January we have to exceed all expectations. With what I take it as a personal challenge with great enthusiasm. Luckily I have a wonderful team and we're all aligned in the same direction.
