Meet Verity
Hey there! I’m Verity, the Founder and Chief Contract Enthusiast here at Checklist Legal.
I’m a commercial lawyer turned legal innovation expert with a passion for redesigning legal documents, contracts and processes to be easy to read, easy to use and jargon-free. Oh, and I make a delightful Margarita cocktail, too.
And when I’m not helping female founders put the fun back into their legal documents, I’m teaming up with in-house legal legends to automate their workflows, digitise and transform their legal operations.
Ready to craft contracts your clients will love?
