My NYLJ Article on Retooling Your Contract Process for the Downturn

By Ken Adams

The New York Law Journal has published, in its “GC New York” section, my article entitled “Retooling Your Contract Process for the Downturn.” Click here to go to the online version (free registration required). (By the end of the day Friday I’ll be adding a link to a PDF reprint. You might want to check back?even if you can access the online version, I suspect you’ll find that a hard copy of the reprint is easier to read than the online version.)

This article describes how law departments are under pressure not just to cut costs, but to work smarter by simplifying what they do. When it comes to your contract process, you can simplify it by redrafting your templates and by using automation, and the potential benefits of doing so are dramatic.

I know that this is a dreaded traditional-media article, but it’s as relevant as anything I’ve written. Don’t hesitate to submit as comments to this post any thoughts prompted by the article.
