Creating Space for Strategic Legal Work
Discover how PortmanDentex is using Pocketlaw to free up time for strategic legal work by streamlining contract review and driving efficiency.
Millie Jackson, Legal Counsel, PortmanDentex
“Pocketlaw is instrumental—revolutionising the way I conduct my in-house legal role. It’s helping me carve out more time to be strategic, creative, and focused on higher-risk, more complex work.”
About PortmanDentex
PortmanDentex is the UK’s leading corporate dentistry provider, supporting a growing network of practices across the country. Through acquisition and integration, the company brings local dental clinics into a centralised structure that streamlines operations while preserving exceptional patient care.
With a lean legal team of three, PortmanDentex’s in-house legal function handles a wide scope of work—from disputes and internal investigations to policy creation and contract management. For Millie Jackson, Legal Counsel at PortmanDentex, driving legal efficiency is key: “I’m passionate about legal operations and process improvement. The more time we can save on routine matters, the more value we can deliver strategically.”
Opportunity
As the business grew, the legal team faced increasing pressure to review and assess a high volume of low-value contracts—many of which were time-consuming but not business-critical. “Reading through lengthy, repetitive contracts was draining time and resources we simply didn’t have,” Jackson explained. “We needed a smarter, faster way to get things done.”
Inspired by the rise of AI in legal, Millie attended a legaltech event in London—where Pocketlaw was showcased. After testing the platform only a few times, she immediately saw its potential. “The timing was perfect. Pocketlaw came in just as we were actively looking for ways to simplify and speed up our legal workflows.”
Solution
Pocketlaw now plays a central role in the contract review processes at PortmanDentex. “The comparison tool is amazing. I use it to mark up contracts quickly, search for key topics, and get the clarity I need fast,” said Jackson.
Whether it's tackling a last-minute review or juggling multiple priorities, Pocketlaw is her go-to assistant for instant insight. “When I’ve got a lot on my plate and need a quick fix, Pocketlaw delivers results in 60 seconds. It’s become a real lifesaver.”
Impact
Since introducing Pocketlaw, Millie estimates that her contract review work is up to 50% more efficient—freeing up valuable time to focus on more strategic initiatives. “It’s not just about speed, it’s about enabling higher-value work,” she explained. “Pocketlaw helps me move away from the admin-heavy work and lean into the projects that really matter—like shaping legal policy, managing risk, and supporting our business growth.”
While the wider legal team is still early in its adoption journey, Jackson sees clear potential for broader rollout. “I’m a tech enthusiast, so it’s been easy for me to integrate. But the impact is already clear, and I expect Pocketlaw to take on more of our contract review and risk guidance as we scale.”
