Contract lifecycle management that fits your needs

Effective contract lifecycle management (CLM)—from request to post-execution management—can help reduce risk, maximize value and increase the velocity of business. Yet with stakeholders in multiple business functions across the enterprise and contract volumes for many organizations reaching into tens or even hundreds of thousands of documents annually, optimizing this critical area of business operations can be a daunting prospect.

Consilio’s experienced team can help. We work with all the stakeholders across your organization— including legal, sales, procurement, finance, operations and compliance—to evaluate your current processes and systems, gather and analyze your requirements, and build a contract management process that best fits your needs.

Case Study

Post-Merger Due Diligence

The Issue

Consilio was engaged to identify and summarize contracts in connection with the pre-merger due diligence of two global companies.

Approach

Our team developed a process and workflow to facilitate the review and classification of over 7,000 contracts from 12 different countries across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. We then provided attorneys with the requisite multilingual skills and certifications to review the materials and conceptually identify key clauses.

Result

Our work resulted in a comprehensive database of contract intelligence used by all lines of business, legal and procurement to restate the necessary agreements to facilitate legal and regulatory review and the transition to the new business.
