A Practice Note
DealPointLaw℠ is the law practice of The DealPoint Law Firm, PLLC (the "Firm"). In addition to its law practice, the Firm conducts a consulting practice to assist people, whether in a law firm, on a business team or in an important aspect of having a business, career, family and home, in achieving their goals while building their negotiation capabilities.
The Firm's DealPointLaw℠ law practice focuses on business contracts (both business-to-business and individual-to-business). The Firm also provides consulting, facilitation and training services under its PeopleGears℠ brand (www.peoplegears.com). Those services focus on negotiation processes, from providing the tools people need to strategize, plan and perform various negotiation tasks to supporting ongoing improvement of deal-driven systems.
A Solution for Small Businesses
The goal of the Deal Navigator℠ solution is to systematically boost negotiation effectiveness for entrepreneurial organizations, and for teams in all kinds of organizations that are responsible for doing sales, procurement, partnering or business-acquisition deals. Starting with an organization's existing contract-negotiation processes and the firm's negotiation-as-a-project (NaaP) model, DealPointLaw℠ can take the lead in negotiating a single contract, or set of contracts, or take on specific tasks in support of contract negotiation, such as analyzing or revising drafts.
DealPointLaw℠ may also help an organization or negotiation processes with proposals to change deal workflows or development of negotiation tools such as guidelines, playbooks and agreement templates.
DealPointLaw℠ has designed the Deal Express℠ application of the Deal Navigator℠ solution for the business executive who has contracting responsibilities that are incidental to her or his core business function, such as finance or technology. The goal of this solution is to speed up the negotiation process while adequately protecting the business's interests and freeing up the executive for other responsibilities.
