CONTRACT DEVELOPMENT AND NEGOTIATION
In today’s business environment, there are many types of agreements with a complex array of contract terms and provisions. This can make these agreements difficult to understand and a challenge to ensure results.
Our contract advisors negotiate strategic relationships that create long term value for the business and assess existing contracts to ensure that clients are getting the full value of those agreements.
In today’s heightened regulatory environment, we ensure that our clients remain compliant and minimize risk. We structure the entire transaction to meet each client’s unique goals.
Our strategic sourcing consultants provide clients with a structured methodology for the selection of service providers and minimizes misaligned expectations between the client and the supplier. Working closely with our affiliate law firm, we negotiate contracts that reflect our client’s objectives, constraints, and risk tolerance. We provide the technical expertise to structure master services agreements, develop statements of work and design performance criteria. We ensure that the client’s delivery strategy, performance and business terms are properly captured in a contract that is realistic and enforceable.

Many outsourcing relationships never fully meet expectations. Often, the service implementation process is undisciplined, and miscommunication is the norm. Poorly defined roles, KPIs, and expectations worsen the situation.
Our sourcing implementation consulting services help clients navigate the complexities of provider relationships. Our strategy roadmap details the steps necessary to realize a flourishing environment capable of managing critical priorities. One of our first areas of focus is on human capital and internal organizational culture. Our sourcing consultants assist clients with integrating a team of internal retained resources with both new and existing service providers.

In order to realize long term goals, we develop a roadmap to achieve high quality governance and oversight. This approach reinforces the responsibilities of each party and ensures that the requirements of the contract are being met.
