It’s time to write contracts differently! Stuart Teicher, Esq (the “CLE Performer”) uses his unique style to explain why lawyers need to break free from the restrictions of the past — those dreaded forms.

With companies’ obligations, risk - and value - defined by their agreements nowadays, contracts should be treated as their most vital business assets. That is why in-house legal departments need deeper insight into every agreement - to manage their risk profile and make better business decisions.

In high growth companies, contracting pain points can make your organization less competitive. Fortunately, your legal team has access to world-class, robust AI solutions that can help enhance performance of the legal team and avoid common business pitfalls. If deployed correctly, contract AI can be a legal team’s best friend - shrinking the knowledge gap across years and silos, acting as a digital assistant to automate repetitive tasks, and arming lawyers with tools that help them be proactive rather than responsive.

When implemented correctly, automating repetitive tasks in the contract lifecycle process should accelerate the sales cycle without compromising Legal's function as a primary risk manager. When you implement effective, automated document and contract management solutions, you will reduce risk, improve visibility and accelerate cycles.

Presently, legal professionals need to simplify the complexities of their contract management - to speed up contracting while better managing contractual risks. They need to free up invaluable but underutilized resources, and focus on higher-value, strategic work. This way, they can provide better risk guidance - to steer important business decisions - and ultimately drive revenue growth.
