1. Fine-Tuning of QuickForm Contract Documents: Having drafted the content for QuickForm Contracts, attorney John Newman can fine-tune any QuickForm to help you finalize the document.

He can review and fine-tune a QuickForm to fit your business model or help with a particular transaction. He can also help you negotiate a contract with the other party's counsel.

True Case Study: SmallTech needs a better Software Maintenance Agreement to support its line of software products. It uses QuickForms to produce a first draft, then hires John Newman to fine-tune the document to address more tightly some particular "lessons learned" in its marketplace. Total drafting time: 1 hour ($225) See Pricing Table...

2. Traditional Drafting Projects: Our extensive legal drafting experience, and database of content, allows us to draft model agreements quickly that fit your business model.

True Case Study: Techcorp needs model contracts for customers purchasing software licenses, maintenance and consulting services.

After conferring with TechCorp, it is agreed that they should use a Basic Agreement containing general terms, and separate Transaction Exhibits for licensing, maintenance and consulting.

This allows the relationship to be built up over time, in a plug-and-play approach. It also minimizes future legal review, time and expense.

Solution: draft a Basic Agreement (General Terms & Conditions), Software License Transaction Exhibit, Software Maintenance Plan and Consulting Services Transaction Exhibit.

Cost: 9.5 hours ($225 x 9.5 = $2,137). Turnaround: same week.

3. Automated Systems: Companies should consider the advantages of automating agreements that are needed quickly to cover various situations. John Newman drafted over 5,000 pages of content for QuickForms, and has unique experience structuring and drafting content for an automated system. The QuickForms technology platform can be re-used and accessed over a simple browser interface.

True Case Study: MidTech needs to generate model agreements rapidly to meet requirements of prospective customers (and their attorneys), while adhering to very strict drafting rules. They also want their local sales person make follow up contact with the prospect or attorney, with permission.

Solution: automate their seven model documents into four QuickForm-style categories and deploy them on a web page with their "look and feel." Prospective customers may sign a "guest book" with opt-in email. The system uses local area codes to route a sales lead by email to the local rep for follow up contact.

Benefit: Accessing this system through a simple web browser, their staff and prospective customers create their own contracts that are automatically compliant with corporate policies. Sales leads are automatically emailed to the appropriate sales rep for that region.

Total time: about 1 month from contract signing (including design, drafting, testing, feedback and refinement).

Cost: $15,000 plus less than $500/mo. license and hosting fee. Future maintenance on documents performed at hourly rate.

Value-Proposition: Try QuickForms and you'll see how document drafting systems can centralize control over content, while decentralizing the actual production of agreements to the field. This allows legal departments to maintain control over document content, while allowing field attorneys and contracts staff to respond to marketplace demands.

We can design, develop, implement and host your model documents at an affordable price, which pays for itself quickly through better deals.
