KO Law Firm is an innovative, corporate and commercial law firm with an experienced team and a practical, efficient, business-focused approach. Innovative companies are seeking legal assistance from a growing number of non-lawyer professionals and testing new alternative billing models, so they can do more with less. As a Contracts Manager at KO Law Firm, I have lead the initiative of building a comprehensive contracts management service that goes way beyond what’s being commonly adopted in the legal industry. KO's Contracts Management services focuses on a 3-pronged approach that delivers the most value to clients: people, process and technology. We uniquely tailor our services to create the right process for each client, integrating as an extension of in-house legal teams at larger organizations and creating flexible programs that meet the needs for smaller clients. The services we provide include everyday contracts, to key M&A and financing events, and in many cases, we’re handling the day-to-day workload of one or more full time employees. We are addressing the evolving needs of our clients who are operationalizing their legal functions and changing how they use legal services. Show less
