The legal community is ready for purpose-built technology that supports and memorializes contract negotiations and analyzes contract data. What if such technology worked like a powerful microscope that lets you zoom into and out of contracts and assess their vitals?
Digitizing contract negotiations increases your ability to make fact-based decisions and answer perennial legal department questions. We will go over some of those questions together.
Participants will also have an opportunity to ask questions and actively contribute to ideas for the research ahead.
