So what do I want to achieve for you?
Typically, (external) lawyers are only involved when escalation is at an advanced stage or when damage has already occurred.
The result is a time-consuming and cost-intensive procedure – but often without any “learning effect” for the company concerned as the company merely reacts to the situation.
As a result, “lessons learned” rarely reach the organization, because nobody implements them or does not know how they have to be implemented or focuses on them and does not have the time for it.
In addition, dealing with legal issues or (external) lawyers is not one of the most popular activities in the company.
This often happens only in response to a certain external pressure and is often considered disruptive, because it takes time to be better spent in the daily business.
The circumstance that up to that point often various loops have been made does not create the best starting point for your own position.
It therefore proves to be helpful and beneficial (at an early stage) if, as an (external) consultant, you know exactly where what can/must be called up and what level of detail is sufficient to develop reasonable tailormade solutions.
As I am also familiar with the habits and sensitivities of the different stakeholders in a company, I take this into account when assessing information and proceed diplomatically accordingly.
By accompanying your internal departments, such as sales, in dealing with customer contracts, they can focus on their core business and thus create organizational savings potential.
I am committed to ensuring that your organization does not become exposed, in order to avoid damage to your company and to you personally, and to establish the pre-conditions for strong negotiating positions.
This is achieved by basic training, updating or creating and regular critical review of standard documentation and the joint risk assessment of new requirements.
The focus is on prevention and securing stable business relationship.
