In this episode of The Contract Lens Podcast, Allison Martyn, a Malbek Business Analyst, talks with Edo Bar-Gil, CEO at Lawflex Designed Solutions about the intersection of legal and contract management. They start by discussing the competing requirements that contract stakeholders sometimes have even within the same organization and the consequences of not involving all the right people from the get-go. Edo shares how vital "needs mapping" is and underscores why you have to be honest and candid during that process, however uncomfortable it may be. He explores why understanding legal terms is necessary for contract professionals even though they may not have a law background, and conversely he advocates for legal learning the language of business. At the end of the day, the goals are the same — mitigate risk and increase revenue. So grab a glass of wine, and let's talk contracts!
