Case Study: A Strategic Partner in Optimizing Legal Delivery Models
A global professional services firm found its contracts counsel bogged down with NDAs and ancillary agreements, leading to inefficient contract execution which can delay revenue recognition and create complications in supporting a fast-moving business.
When the firm needed coverage for parental leave, Tenor stepped in to do more than just fill a staffing gap. Tenor swiftly provided a transactional attorney who could take ownership of the NDA and ancillary agreement workstreams and manage a team of paralegals. This allowed the client to more efficiently handle revenue-generating contracts and enabled the client’s permanent legal team to focus on other priorities to maximize their highest and best use.
Our capabilities combine to deliver high-impact results.
