A senior lawyer can know the law.
Know the sector.
Have twenty years of experience.And still waste the first month discovering things the business already knew.This is the briefing system we use to stop that happening.

Free. For General Counsel and senior in-house lawyers.

The best way to waste a great lawyer
is to give them a bad brief.The lawyer needs five things quickly:

• the outcome

• the relevant context

• the decision rights

• the working rhythm

• the exit condition

Everything else can wait.Inside:The One-Page Mandate
Brief the outcome, not the task list.The 15-Minute Sponsor Call
Transfer the context only the business can provide.The First 48-Hour Reset
Understand reality before starting the listening tour.The First 10 Hours Plan
Get to the first useful output fast.The Weekly Update
Movement, decisions, blockers and asks. Not activity.Definition of Done

Close the mandate without leaving the lawyer as the permanent bottleneck.And three worked examples:
Commercial BAU. Specialist expertise. Complex claims.The mandate is useful only if it changes what the lawyer does in the first ten hours.Otherwise, you have not briefed them.You have sent them documents.
