Air New Zealand Saves 30–60 Minutes Per NDA with No-Code Legal Automation

Air New Zealand's legal team handled a high-volume, complex workload but ran NDAs through an entirely manual process, causing frequent delays, workflow bottlenecks, and frustrated stakeholders. The team faced tight budget and resource constraints, and had only four weeks to replace their existing NDA solution before it expired — the alternative being a reversion to fully manual handling.

Senior Legal Counsel Sam Bailey led the team to adopt Checkbox, a no-code automation platform, after evaluating tools that fell short on relationship management, support, or budget fit. Business users submit a short pop-up form via the company intranet; Checkbox auto-generates the NDA, routes it for e-signature, and automatically distributes and logs the signed copies for legal record-keeping.

The team deployed a fully functional NDA automation solution in four weeks from kickoff to go-live. The legal team now saves 30–60 minutes per NDA, removing workflow bottlenecks and freeing counsel to focus on higher-value strategic work, while gaining improved recognition within the business as an innovative function.

• Automating a high-volume, low-complexity workflow like NDAs can free legal teams for higher-value strategic work.
• A no-code platform enabled a full deployment in just four weeks despite tight budget and resource constraints.
• Self-service intake through existing channels (company intranet) reduces bottlenecks and improves stakeholder experience.
