Optimising through playbooks
Struggling to maintain consistency across your contractual landscape? Managing work and driving processes you shouldn’t be? We’ve got you covered. Getting your time back and standardising your approach is easier than you think.
What are playbooks?
Can you relate?
There’s often a misunderstanding of Legal’s remit within a business. With Legal treated as something ‘other’, lawyers are often left to manage workloads and drive processes that should be taken care of elsewhere.
Maintaining consistency across your legal landscape while taking on additional work can make lawyers feel overloaded, short on time, and unable to drive strategy. Sound all-too-familiar?
Optimising through standardisation
We have the solution you’re looking for. We optimise the delivery of legal work through standardisation and the re-shaping of interactions between business and Legal.
Playbook creation
We’ll design bespoke, user-friendly playbooks for use by your team and the business. These establish which of your clauses are negotiable (and how far), your fallback positions and canned responses.
Negotiation process
A contract is not just for Legal: it’s a commercial document. This is why we’ll implement a clear negotiation process with correct accountability, audit trail and governance structure which can increase your negotiation speed from review to signature by a whopping 30%!
Business training
Contracts are often delayed because the business doesn’t have the right knowledge or accountability. Training is key to driving the right behaviours. We create interactive and engaging training that will both educate.
What are the benefits?
Here’s what’s in it for you (to name just a few benefits):
Enable business growth
Gives you your time back
By reallocating workloads and establishing accountability within the business, you’ll get your precious time back to focus on strategic initiatives.
Enhance your personal brand
By training your business how to interact with Legal, they’ll get the best out of you and your team, cementing Legal as a trusted advisor and business enabler.
Reduces risk
We’ll help you to establish consistency across your Legal landscape so you can feel comfortable that supplier and customer risk are being properly managed.
The most valuable commodity to any lawyer is time, and the multi-disciplined Law Boutique team helped us identify the time we were spending inefficiently and provided us with smart and accessible solutions to give that time back to us.
Like most legal functions, our working methods haven’t evolved at the same pace as the business we support, so our work with The Law Boutique has been a timely exercise in reconfiguring how we manage workflow, how we negotiate contracts consistently, and how we store and share our knowledge.

How it works
Discover
Firstly, we’ll start with a discovery session to see where your pain points lie and how we can best address them.
Design
We’ll then design your bespoke tools, such as playbooks and training materials.
Deliver
We can then start delivering results. The service will be tailored to you and your specific business needs. There’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach, each case is individual.
It doesn’t end there
This isn’t all we can help you with. Should you need to outsource high-volume work, such as contract management, we’ll take it off your plate. We can also help you connect with end-users more easily through legal design.
