Litigation Readiness Checklist for Contract Managers
Contract managers are responsible for drafting, negotiating, and managing contracts on behalf of their organization, and may be involved in legal disputes related to those contracts. Contract managers can benefit from having a litigation readiness checklist to ensure their organization is prepared for legal disputes related to contracts.
A litigation readiness checklist can help contract managers to:
- Identify and preserve relevant documents: The checklist can help identify the documents and information that may be relevant to a potential legal dispute and ensure they are preserved in a way that is compliant with legal requirements.
- Review contracts for potential issues: The checklist can help review contracts for potential legal issues and ensure the organization complies with contractual obligations.
- Evaluate risks: The checklist can help evaluate the risks associated with potential legal disputes and identify strategies for mitigating those risks.
- Develop a response plan: The checklist can help develop a response plan in case of a legal dispute, including identifying the appropriate personnel to contact and the steps to take to preserve evidence and protect the organization's interests.
