Why This, Not That™ Contracts

Asking For Help

Lisa Lang, Vice President and General Counsel

DO THIS

If you are asked to review a contract for a complex or complicated project, don’t let pride get in your way. Ask for help.

NOT THAT

Go it alone and hope for the best.

WHY

It is simple. Your client deserves the best legal representation possible. Sometimes what you are asked to do is outside your expertise. It is not possible to know everything.

Know when to ask for help.
