The Challenge

## Separate forms per center caused drafting inefficiencies.

As Klein Enterprises grew, manual lease drafting became a significant bottleneck. They needed a standardized solution that could scale with their portfolio.

6–10 hours

To draft an average retail lease, slowing deal flow

Multiple templates

Separate lease forms for each center causing confusion

Inconsistencies

Different language across properties created review delays

Growing workload

Requiring consideration of additional legal staff

The Decision

## Why Klein chose LeasePilot.

“As we grew we needed a standard lease and lease amendment form that we could complete efficiently.”

Neil S., General Counsel

The Solution

## One template across every property.

LeasePilot standardized and automated lease drafting, enabling Klein Enterprises to draft faster, eliminate inconsistencies, and scale efficiently without adding headcount.

Single template

One standardized lease form across all properties

3–4 hours saved

Per lease, cutting drafting time by more than half

Faster reviews

Standardization makes reviewing existing leases faster

No new hires

Eliminated the need for an additional paralegal

Deep Dive

## The transformation in detail.

Before

Before LeasePilot we had separate lease forms for each of our centers and that created inconsistencies and delays in drafting new leases.

Each property had its own template, making it difficult to maintain uniform language and increasing the time spent on every deal.

After

Klein now has a single form of commercial lease and the inconsistencies are eliminated. We can produce new leases and amendments more efficiently.

Standardization makes review of existing LeasePilot leases faster and easier, allowing our legal team to focus on higher-value work.
