Crush It at Home - Contract Negotiation

1. Too many distractions and surprise visits to your office

Office life is full of distractions. From an impromptu birthday celebration to surprise visits from clients, you never have complete control of your workday when you’re inside an office setting.

2. Too many data points scattered across file shares and network drives

Tracking down a file’s ownership status and then getting the right permissions can easily eat up a workday. The difference between office work and remote work is that remote teams are set up to easily share files and documents; they recognize that they can’t just walk down the hall and ask someone for a file.

3. Too many meetings!

A scheduled meeting with a clear purpose, agenda, and action items is one thing. Unplanned meetings that start as a casual conversation and morph into an entire afternoon are something else. Working in an office makes you more susceptible to falling into one (or several) meetings that could just as easily take place over email.

How to See Remote Work as an Opportunity to Improve

While the mandate to keep a distance from co-workers is temporary, we all may be pleasantly surprised to discover that working from home has the potential to make legal teams even more productive and efficient in the long run. Here’s how.

‍1. Web-based platform

DocJuris is fully web-based, so you don’t have to download any software onto your desktop. All you need to do is download our app. Open a PDF or Word doc and voila! You’re ready to crush it, all without calling the IT department.

‍2. No need for multiple monitors

One downside of suddenly working remotely is that you may not have multiple monitors at home the way you do in your office. With DocJuris, you only need one window open. DocJuris centralizes all of your key data points. View clauses, previous negotiations, sample redlines, and more without changing screens or opening more than one window.

‍3. Easily export early assessment reports

Everyone on your team is connected through DocJuris, which means you can immediately notify anyone in the business when there are key concerns through early assessment reports. As an added bonus, you can also fire up our force majeure toolkit directly from the app to make sure you have coverage for pandemics, epidemics, quarantines, and other events.

‍4. Collaborate with ease

DocJuris is designed for collaboration. Your team has instant access to all your contracts, eliminating the need for hundreds of emails going back and forth. Communicate through the DocJuris platform to streamline communication and make sure everyone is always on the same page.

‍5. Save time on contract negotiations

Whether you’re using DocJuris remotely or in the office, you’ll save an average of two hours on every contract negotiation while maintaining consistency during your review process. Who doesn’t want more time back in their day to focus on more pressing issues?

When it comes to suddenly working from home, there are a lot of challenges your team will need to navigate. For legal teams that do contract work, DocJuris is available to make your workday easier by improving collaboration and helping your team become more efficient. Best of all, you can continue using DocJuris to streamline contract negotiations and save valuable time once your team is back in the office.
