⦿ What is Contract Lifecycle Management?
⦿ The Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) deals
with managing contracts from creation to expiration
and is aimed at reaching the biggest cost savings and
highest efficiency.
What is Legal Contract Management?
⦿ Legal contract management - is the process of managing the flows of contracts
held between a company and its clients/a legal department and other divisions in a
corporation.
⦿ Elements of contract management include contract
creation, negotiation, adherence, service level agreements, and documentation.
⦿ Some of the most popular types of contracts that legal professionals use are:
⦿ Deed of trust
⦿ Rental lease agreement
⦿ Service agreement
⦿ Commercial agreements

⦿ Litigation documents
⦿ What Is a Notice to Proceed
⦿ A Notice to Proceed is a notification letter indicating that
performance should begin under a construction contract.
⦿ Any party that has hired another party on the project (be it an owner
hiring a contractor, a contractor hiring a subcontractor, etc.) might
utilize a Notice to Proceed to indicate the recipient should start their
work.

⦿ A Notice to Proceed provides a clean, crystal-clear indication of

when a particular party’s project work begins.

⦿ That party’s performance time starts ticking from the date indicated
in the Notice to Proceed document.
⦿ There are a few options when deciding how to
determine when the project starts. The
project commencement date will often be one of the
following (or some combination):
⦿ Contract date
⦿ Date set forth in a Notice to Proceed
⦿ Date a Notice of Commencement is filed
⦿ Some other specified date
⦿ Calculated based on some other detail described in the
project contract or agreement
Rights of Parties to a Contract:
⦿ The most fundamental contract right is that of having the other party deal fairly and

with good faith in the contract.

⦿ It is inferred in every contract, and is called the "good faith and fair dealing"

requirement.

⦿ It requires that both parties maintain a reasonable effort to work honestly with the

other party and provide honesty and disclosure of matters pertaining to the

agreement.

⦿ Most often, contract rights involve business matters, such as the exchange of

products, services, and compensation. However, other kinds of subject matter may

also be involved.
Typical kinds of contract rights include:
⦿ The right to buy a specific service or product.

⦿ The right to sell a service or product.

⦿ The right to transfer ownership rights.
⦿ The right to be the exclusive purchaser or seller.
⦿ The right to exclusive ownership or use of a brand, product, or
material.
⦿ The right to timely and full monetary payment.
⦿ The right to repairs, refunds, or exchanges.
⦿ The right to file a lawsuit over a contract breach or dispute.
⦿ Other rights related to the particular intentions of each party.
⦿ What Happens if a Contract Has Been Breached
⦿ If a party does not fulfill its obligations under the
agreement, it is said to have breached the contract (or to
be in breach of the contract).

⦿ The injured party (plaintiff) may sue to recover damages

caused by the breach of contract. In general, courts refer
to standard principles when they determine the type of
damages for which the defendant may be liable.
⦿ There are three simple categories in which
contract damages typically belong:

⦿ Expectation damages - This type of damages is intended to help

restore the injured party to where they would be if the breach
had not occurred.

⦿ Reliance damages - This type of damages can result if a breach

of contract left the injured party in a worse position than they
would have been in had the breach not occurred.

⦿ Restitution damages - This type of damages occurs when a

party has received a benefit which may be returned or
compensated upon breach of contract.
Three Basic Types of Dispute Resolution
⦿ Mediation
⦿ The goal of mediation is for a neutral third party to help disputants
come to a consensus on their own.
⦿ Rather than imposing a solution, a professional mediator works
with the conflicting sides to explore the interests underlying their
positions.
⦿ Mediation can be effective at allowing parties to vent their feelings
and fully explore their grievances.
⦿ Working with parties together and sometimes separately, mediators
can try to help them hammer out a resolution that is sustainable,
voluntary, and nonbinding.
Arbitration
⦿ In arbitration, a neutral third party serves as a judge who is responsible for
resolving the dispute.
⦿ The arbitrator listens as each side argues its case and presents relevant
evidence, then renders a binding decision.

⦿ The disputants can negotiate virtually any aspect of the arbitration process,
including whether lawyers will be present at the time and which standards
of evidence will be used.
⦿ Arbitrators hand down decisions that are usually confidential and that
cannot be appealed.

⦿ Like mediation, arbitration tends to be much less expensive than litigation.

Litigation
⦿ The most familiar type of dispute resolution, civil litigation
typically involves a defendant facing off against a plaintiff before
either a judge or a judge and jury.
⦿ The judge or the jury is responsible for weighing the evidence and
making a ruling. The information conveyed in hearings and trials
usually enters, and stays on the public record.
⦿ Lawyers typically dominate litigation, which often ends in a
settlement agreement during the pretrial period of discovery and
preparation.
⦿
What is a tender?

pursuance of the notification given, to execute certain work,
