May 13, 2011
LEGAL RFP'S II. – Continuing the discussion of whether or not to respond to RFP's, here are additional critical questions to ask.* Who will be reviewing the submittals, what time period has been allotted and are their objectives clearly stated in the document?

And if yes, is this person clearly identified?* Is the company now using rfp's for all legal work, or just for specialties such as Labor and Employment?* Do they require you to respond in a formal, section by section approach? If the answer is yes, we often identify methods for our clients to add a key sentence or two in each section highlighting the firm's strength to match the stated need. And do include color and graphics wherever possible* Will you be advised who is on the interview team?Keep in mind that the answers to these and the other questions should be used to make a business decisioin on whether or not to proceed.
