DWF’s Managed Legal Contracts Services utilise a proprietary methodology for creating and negotiating contracts using optimised processes, “Best-Shored” resources and the finest technologies available. We provide lean and efficient contracting that is supercharged by technology and led by our subject matter experts.

Template standardisation and harmonisation

For large organisations, especially ones who have made acquisitions, simply coordinating contracts can be a struggle. When most agreements are not stored in a consolidated repository, central governance goes out the window. DWF reviews your standard templates to remove unnecessary points of friction, smooth out inconsistencies and simplify the language wherever possible. With all harmonised templates in one place, document maintenance becomes exponentially smoother.

Contract negotiation, redlining and storage

With templates harmonised and documents migrated into one source, what comes next? DWF’s global presence enables contract creation and negotiation to be done internationally. This “Best-Shore” model enables the project to be placed where it can be completed most efficiently and at the greatest value. The work is performed within strict guardrails and is both quality-controlled and quality-assured, meaning we can show you in words and numbers how accurate we are. Non-standard negotiation pushbacks and escalations are handled by qualified lawyers – we ensure all work is carried out by the right people, meaning you only pay for more senior resource when you really need to.

Contract technology consulting & implementation

Just as you wouldn’t buy a luxury car without knowing how to drive, we don’t implement any technology without first ensuring it is supported by the appropriate infrastructure. After your processes and tools are streamlined, we offer technology as an enabler. We can deploy several levels, including contract automation tools, to create standard form agreements safely in minutes, through to AI augmented review platforms with digitised playbooks.

Personalised playbooks

Every organisation is different. So are our solutions. We partner with you to design a personalised playbook for contract management. We will work on your contract lifecycle management platform (CLM) if you have one, or we are happy to provide or recommend one to you. We'll design and implement the full end-to-end service from initial instruction through to signature, storage, data analysis and obligation management in a repository with appropriate data tags.
