Seasoned legal and business executive to elevate Sirion’s legal function

 

SEATTLE, WA– October 4, 2021 Sirion, the leading provider of AI-powered contract lifecycle management (CLM) technology, today announced the appointment of Thomas L Hall as Chief Legal Officer. An accomplished lawyer and executive with more than 30 years of professional experience, Hall will drive enhancement of the company’s legal department to support revenue growth, customer experience, and expansion of Sirion’s global presence.

Hall comes to Sirion from KPMG, LLP, the US member of the Big Four accounting firms with global revenue of USD 29 Billion, where he led an internal sales consultancy that assisted firm partners in contracting for advisory and tax services. Hall had been a Managing Director at EquaTerra, Inc., a boutique consulting firm acquired by KPMG in 2011, where he managed a negotiation practice for complex technology and service contracts that supported Global 2000 buyers. Previously, he served as the Commercial Group Legal Counsel for a multi-billion dollar outsourcing services company, as General Counsel for a leading-edge customer relationship management software company, and as a principal in private legal practice.

“In order to ensure long-term success, it’s crucial that businesses in today’s environment invest in CLM technology. Sirion understands the value of well-managed contracts, and we continue to provide the best-in-class solutions to our diverse client base,” said Hall. “I look forward to helping drive excellence in client experience by ensuring efficient processes, compliance excellence and clear insights into Sirion’s technology. This means working closely with my colleagues in leadership and customer support, as well as with our customers, to implement processes that help ensure effectiveness, efficiency and quality.”

With a focus on providing solutions for the entire contract lifecycle, Sirion takes CLM beyond authoring and portfolio risk management to ongoing performance and compliance management on a single, easy-to-use platform. Legal teams can especially increase efficiencies, reduce risks and get complete visibility into their contracts.

“Not only is Thomas an accredited lawyer and legal executive, but he also understands the unique power of technology in the world of contract management. Having worked throughout his career to shape effective contracts for businesses big and small, he has an acute awareness of the importance of CLM and emerging opportunities in the space,” said Ajay Agrawal, Co-founder and CEO, Sirion. “I look forward to working closely with Thomas as we enhance our product features and mature our legal & compliance functions to drive growth both internally and for our customers.”
