Legal practitioner,
before Pills.
I was in your seat for 10 years. Private practice, then in-house. Today, I run Pills.
From practising law
to operational law.
10 years in private practice, working on cases in highly regulated sectors (pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cosmetics, e-health, etc.). That's where I learned legal craft and the rigour of the law. And early on, I moved to flat-fee engagements rather than billable hours.
Then Head of Legal. First role: solo, no team. Everything went through me. That's where I saw the difference between producing law and making it useful. The tools were missing. The indicators too.
In 2020, I founded Pills. to build what I never had: a partner who speaks both law and piloting. Without overplaying either side.

What I saw,
in 10 years.
No one measures legal work.
Commitments signed, risks avoided, compliance held. That's what matters. No one measures how much.
The tools are already there.
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace. Deployed. Paid for. No one uses them for legal.
The methods miss.
Either too conceptual: 3 months of diagnostic for a PowerPoint that gets filed. Or too technical: a SaaS paid for and never configured.
Pills. wasn't thought up in a consulting firm. It's what I was missing when I was in your seat. So I built it.
