Event: CLM Fundamentals For In-House Counsel: Key Steps For A Smooth CLM Journey by In-House Connect
Date: 26 May 2022
Mode: Online
Costs: Free Registration
Description:
Contract management is one of the most important services delivered by in-house counsel to their organizations. Contracts touch every part of the business, and its often the main sector of interaction and integration between the business and the legal department. How contracts are structured, accessed, and shared with the business, as well as the overall process by which they are negotiated and ultimately executed is called contract lifestyle management, or “CLM” for short.
Getting CLM right is of crucial importance for in-house counsel. A clunky, inefficient, unpredictable, and frustrating CLM process reflects poorly on the legal department. On the other hand, a simple, smooth, efficient and predictable process reflects well on the legal department and is the standard by which all legal departments should strive for.
Given the critical importance of CLM, In-House Connect is thrilled to feature Lucy Bassli, author of CLM Simplified and the Founder and Principal of InnoLaw Group, PLLC. Lucy has spent most of her career as a commercial transactions lawyer, both in big law and inside a global legal department – so she has seen it all when it comes to contracts. Over the years, Lucy has learned through trial and error the ways to make contracting simpler, smoother, and more predictable for the business.
- Provide an overview of the current state of the CLM industry;
- Review the phases of CLM and where in-house lawyers should be spending their time;
- Provide tips for creating an effective legal review policy based on thresholds and risk tolerances; and
