I may appear grumpy about contract lifecycle management and other big shiny systems, but it is the result of too many real-world examples of systems stopping us from making things better for our clients. A few things are guaranteed: 1. the more ambitious the scope of the system, the more it will be wrong... and the more frustrating it will be to work around 2. the higher the friction to make changes, the less likely changes will happen (to fix the wrong bits and address the frustrations) 3. the system will cost more to implement in time and money than you have budgeted 4. the system will create new problems and may not solve the old problems 5. the person you were relying on to make future changes will leave Try to keep it small and simple. I will be discussing this in our Robots workshop in two weeks.

🌟 Flashback to FutureLaw 2024! 🌟 Alex Hamilton’s (Radiant Law) session on "Alternatives to Traditional Law Firms" began with a powerful message: “Let a thousand flowers bloom.” He emphasized that traditional law firms are no longer the sole providers of legal services, as the rise of alternative legal service providers is reshaping the industry. Alex discussed how new pricing models, distributed legal work platforms, and tech-enabled services are challenging the old ways of doing business. These innovative approaches are not just expanding options for clients, but also pushing the legal profession to evolve faster than ever. Thank you, Alex, for shedding light on the exciting changes happening in the legal services market. Your insights into the future of legal service delivery were both thought-provoking and inspiring! #FutureLaw24 #legid #legalinnovation

We had a fun workshop at CraftyFest in the summer discussing how we might start with other department's problems. One of the points that was made (that I have been discussing with the fabulous Benjamin White) is whether we can get past having to always be the hero in the story and instead be the guide and mentor to other departments in helping them solve their own problems. There's a lot that legal teams can do to clear the way in organisations. We lawyers have been very successful in making others afraid of magical legal rites and rituals, and I think it's therefore on us to give permission to make things simpler. Oh, and if we solve other teams' problems, it's amazing how open they tend to be to helping solve our problems. Start with empathy.

Contracts don’t create value, commercial relationships do. 🤝 It’s not about the contract on paper, but about people on both sides delivering value and trust. Contracts might define terms, but it’s the people that make decisions, build trust, and create commercial relationships. Our next workshop, 'Reapeatable' aims to help you focus on nurturing these human connections, and your contracts will naturally deliver more value. The next event will be at 3PM GMT, Tuesday, 22nd October. Save your seat: https://lnkd.in/dWsBicJG
