My practice includes reviewing and negotiating long term supply and outsourcing arrangements, vendor management, the internet, technology disputes and M&A transaction support. I have been a driver of plain language drafting for many years and have assisted many clients with developing their standard agreements.
I am well versed in the requirements of RFP processes, especially when renegotiation requires competitive tension or a new supplier is engaged to replace an incumbent and dealing with relevant transitional services issues.
