Runs structured RFP processes for selecting outside counsel — from drafting the initial document through evaluating firm responses and producing a defensible selection recommendation for GC sign-off. An average law firm spends 47 hours on an RFP response. That cost gets built into the price of legal services. Poorly structured RFPs produce responses that are incomparable and select by default for the most polished proposal, not the best firm. This skill encodes the methodology for running processes that produce genuine comparability and defensible decisions.
