Many businesses enter into the same type of contracts again and again. The advantages of standardising these contracts for repeated use are obvious, including reducing risk, ensuring consistency and increasing efficiency. However, these contracts are often not standardised, particularly in large organisations where different draftsmen have their own preferred precedents.
Even where an organisation has developed template contracts, they will only remain fit for purpose if they are regularly, properly and consistently maintained to reflect changing law and commercial conditions.
Blueprint offers a sophisticated system for the production of template contracts tailored to the particular needs of your business, together with on-going maintenance to ensure they remain fit for purpose - all for a fixed price.
Benefits of using blueprint
Proven process
Blueprint takes the strain away from the process of drafting, implementation and maintaining templates by offering a clear, thorough and efficient route to a successful standardisation project.
User buy-in
The very best template is useless if it is not used. Blueprint involves your users in the process right from the start, enabling them to contribute to the design and joining them in owning the project.
User-friendly
Blueprint templates are written in plain English, avoiding using out-dated phrases and Latin is banned! We do not use four words when one will do and we ensure that headings and clause order are easy to navigate, even including guidance notes which focus on what the user has to do to produce a draft contract from the template.
Experienced UK-based specialists
All our blueprint services are provided by UK-based lawyers, giving you access to our collective wealth of experience and avoiding the common concerns associated with off-shoring.
Tailored to your business
Blueprint's set-up stages will ensure the templates are fully tailored precisely to your specific business risks, needs and preferences.
