Contract Management Process
Last updated: 02 Aug, 2023By

Contract management services are of great importance, especially for small businesses. It involves various processes like assisting with drafting standard contracts, creating and managing databases and repositories, contract reviewing as per standard position and map deviations, analyzing contracts for specific compliance or other requirements, redlining and negotiating agreements as per standard position, capturing, abstraction and summarization of key information etc.

Small business owners use contracts to give a formal look to their relationships with external parties. A poorly defined contract management process could easily lead to a dispute between parties and could result in the filing of court petitions. To avoid any challenges in the future, small business owners need to follow the right strategy.

Role of LPO Companies in Ensuring Effective Contract Management Process

Properly recognize the nature and scope of the relationship- Many in-house staff members find it difficult to understand the limits of the contract management process.

For example, if a financial services company has been offering accounting services to a wholesale store for a couple of years and now the wholesale owners are also asking for other services like tax filing etc., then it is important for both the parties to enter in to a proper contract in which the duties which one party needs to perform for the other are clearly specified.

The differences between the previous arrangements between the two sides and the new engagements should be clearly defined. An LPO company can play an important role in this regard.

Cost-effectiveness:

By hiring the contract management services of outsourcing legal firms, a small company can reduce its overhead costs. The outsourcing firms based in nations like India, China, and Argentina etc. charge a much lesser remuneration than the local rates in developed nations like US, UK etc.

So for small-scale business firms looking for cost-cutting measures, this is an ideal option. You will get high-quality work but at a considerably lesser price.

Ideal in cases of urgent requirement:

LPO firms in offshore nations like India, China, Philippines, etc., can be extremely beneficial for urgent requirements.

There is a 10-12 hour difference in the time zones of nations like the US, China etc., and nations like India and China which offers the unique benefit of assigning the contract management tasks in the evening and getting the desired results by the morning.

Ensuring the right agreement of both parties:

Generally, parties enter into a disagreement with each other due to misunderstandings. The legal process outsourcing companies can help in preparing contracts based on mutual understanding between both the parties and ensuring that there are no future disputes between the parties. Before commencing the contract preparation process, discuss all the crucial points.

Helpful in dissolving disputes at the later stage:

There is always a chance of disputes arising later on between the two parties despite immense care being taken while preparing the contract.
