With the increasing penetration of technology, companies have seen a huge increase in the number of contracts they must draft, negotiate and manage. Many companies lack strong processes to manage this large number of contracts, a problem that is exacerbated when companies acquire contracts through mergers and acquisition activity.

The session will also discuss using playbooks to maximize value, time and experience of in-house attorneys, mapping existing workflows to determine how to make them more efficient, resource allocation—what tasks should attorneys do and what tasks should non-attorneys do, implementing more efficient processes—piloting and knowledge transfer, using contract management software for process and knowledge management and selecting third-party vendors to help manage these processes.
