No, in fact, a lawyer used for day-to-day contract management will cost you about 2x what using a contract management professional will. We’ve also found that lawyers tend to think of contracts from a risk perspective (and therefore can redline the heck out of documents) versus a gotta get business done perspective. Our team knows that there is give and take that needs to happen to get the contract done.
We’ve also found that in GovCon negotiations, contracts folks want to work with contracts folks. Our team can be the hard ones in negotiations on your behalf, allowing you to maintain more of a business development relationship. You can always blame your “mean contracts folks” – we’re used to it!
