Tipalti
When Tipalti needed parental leave coverage, Goodlawyer matched them with experienced, in-house-minded counsel: fast onboarding, minimal ramp, and a partner they came back to for the next gap.
Tipalti is an AI-powered finance automation platform for accounts payable, procurement, expenses, and global payments. Founded in 2010, it helps finance teams scale without the manual complexity of doing business worldwide.
Tipalti’s legal team needed reliable parental leave coverage without a long search or a steep learning curve for whoever stepped in. Contracts, privacy projects, and day-to-day counsel for the business still had to move while teammates were out.
Goodlawyer matched Tipalti with senior, in-house-minded counsel who could ramp quickly and operate like part of the team. Onboarding stayed light so the GC and stakeholders were not stuck explaining the business from scratch.
As leave timelines shifted, engagements were extended and rebalanced so handovers stayed clean (including overlap periods when teammates returned), instead of dropping coverage on a hard end date.
We used Goodlawyer for parental leave coverage and immediately saw the value: experienced, in-house-minded support with minimal onboarding. When the next gap came up, it was an easy decision to use them again.
Coverage held through the leave, the business kept its cadence, and Tipalti had a repeatable playbook for the next capacity gap, which is why they came back to Goodlawyer when it showed up again.
The relationship also grew beyond a single backfill: Tipalti continued to explore fractional support for privacy, commercial peaks, and legal-ops adjacent work where in-house-minded counsel beat traditional external counsel on value.
