Contract Administration
The Consus Group
provides outsourced contract administration services. We
coordinate with management to define company goals, determine
appropriate protocol, and implement desired regimes. Our
comprehensive solution upgrades and streamlines infrastructure
to improve tracking and monitoring. Clients choose whether
TCG maintains the regime or cedes responsibility to an in-house
administrator. Regardless, clients benefit from more
efficient administration and enhanced profitability. |

Contract Reviews
The Consus Group
analyzes selected contracts upon request. While TCG offers
an extensive collection of
ContractIntelligence
research, many clients solicit our opinion regarding specific
agreements. Using TCG's convenient web interface, clients
submit specific contracts for review. Then our team of
experts dissects these agreements, benchmarking key terms and
appending critical insights. A comprehensive analysis
package—typically including annotations, examples, and
recommendations—is subsequently prepared for the client. |

Legal Audits
The Consus Group
offers comprehensive legal audits of companies' existing
contracts. TCG's experts inventory every agreement and
evaluate each term. We also assist clients in performing
self-evaluative audits and designing corrective action plans.
Our audits ensure future compliance with all contractual
obligations, minimize potential liabilities, facilitate future
negotiations, and enable favorable action based on existing
provisions. |

The Consus Group
provides outsourced negotiation services for agreements, deals,
and transactions. Our experience evaluating thousands of
deals and contracts creates unparalleled expertise during
bargaining. Leveraging our
Intelligence
research, TCG uses this bargaining to our clients' advantage
during negotiations. We have guided our clients through
many difficult negotiations. We tailor bargaining strategy
to management's objectives and efficiently negotiate specific
agreements. |

Strategy
The Consus Group's
strategic services ensure companies' contracts match their
objectives. Strategy is like an iceberg: 90% of it remains
unseen but, if ignored, it can sink you. The wealth of
experience our attorneys and consultants bring to transactional
and business matters makes them ideally suited to counsel
clients on strategy issues so that we can head off problems
before they develop. Working with management, our stable
of legal and business professionals leverage their singular
talents to devise complementary strategies. TCG experts
use multidisciplinary talents to meld companies' legal
strategies and business objectives. |

Our
Services |
|
Overview.
A significant amount of The Consus Group's practice involves providing advice to
parties currently, or about to be, engaged in some type of
contractual transaction. We guide clients through
virtually every conceivable formation issue and work closely
with them in getting their deals done. We are very familiar with
the nuances—and risks attendant—to all forms of contract
drafting and negotiation. |
|
Broad Industry Experience. Our experts assist
clients in industries ranging from entertainment to
microprocessors to aerospace. We are as comfortable with
the issues that arise in consumer goods markets as we are with
the issues in the newest high technology market. |
|
Multidisciplinary Approach.
Our practice includes lawyers who are equally familiar with law and
business, as well as lawyers from specific practice areas who assist
with particular issues on an as-needed basis. This
multidisciplinary approach is particularly valuable to our clients
because business issues rarely arise in a vacuum. Readily
available, substantive expertise in related areas of the law is
often essential to the provision of efficient and effective counsel. |
|
Managing Costs. Our broad-based experience allows us to
handle matters efficiently and cost-effectively. Our clients
do not pay us to reinvent the wheel or to learn law or business. Although our practice includes highly
experienced attorneys, we often structure and negotiate creative,
cost-effective, consensual resolutions that achieve our clients'
objectives without incurring the cost, delay, and risk of protracted
litigation. |
|
Commitment. We strive to establish long-term,
value-added relationships with our clients. Our experts want
to understand our clients' businesses almost as well as they do.
We find that this approach allows us not only to provide services on
specific matters, but also to serve as a resource for strategic
planning. This often includes helping to identify possible
sources of capital, designing innovative deal structures, and
finding strategic alliances and joint venture partners. TCG is committed
advising each client with constant attention to communication,
efficiency, and consistency. |
