Firmwide Contracts:
Why Consistency is King
In every facet of your operation, and if structured properly, rm wide
contracts can reduce your costs by 20-30%.
The reason is consistency. Just as everyone at your rm uses Word to
produce their documents, briefs and correspondences, your networking
platforms are run on one of either Windows or Mac operating systems, your
letterhead carries the same logo and contact information, consistency exists
for a reason. Without consistency, people would be much less productive, your
costs would be higher, and your overall legal operation would be signi cantly
more di cult to manage.
Why do so many rms not extend the laws of consistency to their services
contracts? Here are ve common responses–and the answers.
