Why This, Not That™ Contracts

Contract Playbook

Lisa Lang, Vice President and General Counsel

DO THIS

Come to the negotiation table with a contract playbook in hand.

NOT THAT

Escalate every single proposed template revision up for approval.

WHY

According to legal tech enthusiast Flo Nicolas, “Having a clear and concise playbook will empower your negotiators to quickly make deviations within business parameters without having to escalate every small issue for approval. If you have a high volume of contracts, having a playbook is not a nice to have, it is a critical must have for your organization.”
