    Plan this workshop

    Audience

    Duration

    2 hours, with a 90-minute format available

    Delivery

    Online or in person

    A clearer way to handle contracts.

    This workshop is designed around the contracts that reach a founder’s desk before the organization has an in-house legal team. It gives the leadership group a shared way to identify risk, separate legal issues from business choices, and keep deals moving without improvising every time.

    Program outline

    • Which agreements need legal review and which can follow an approved process
    • Customer, vendor, contractor, partner, confidentiality, and technology agreements
    • Payment, liability, indemnity, intellectual property, data, termination, and personal-guarantee issues
    • How to use preferred positions, fallbacks, and escalation rules
    • How to organize the contract record as the company grows

    Program format

    The private workshop includes a planning call, a two-hour live program for the leadership team, practical decision scenarios, and a concise follow-up checklist. A 90-minute version is available for a narrower audience or single contracting focus. The program can be adapted to the organization’s current agreements and growth stage.

    Best for: founders and owner-led teams that are signing more consequential agreements but are not ready to build an internal legal function.

    Leave prepared to…

    • Identify agreements and clauses that need legal attention.
    • Separate negotiable business terms from material legal risk.
    • Use consistent contracting positions and escalation rules.
    • Reduce avoidable delays in sales and procurement.
    • Protect payment, intellectual property, data, and exit rights.
