The legal professionals of Duthler Associates are actively involved in the further development of the services of the MYOBI Trust Network and the smart contracting application. Duthler Associates contributes to the Contract Board. Duthler Academy manages awareness and training programs for organizing legal operations using the smart contracting application.<\/p>\n\n

There is a clear value proposition for a company to use the MYOBI Trust Network and the smart contracting application. The professionals at Duthler Associates have developed business cases and action plans for various business types. Most companies that implement and adopt legal operations include the support of Duthler Associates in their business case. We have made an overview of possible involvement of Duthler Associates.<\/p>\n\n

Assess the existing legal operations<\/h2>\n\n

Duthler Associates meets with companies that are interested in the topic of effectively organizing legal operations, but do not know the status of the existing legal organization. After registering free of charge on the MYOBI Trust Network, management may request the Duthler Associates Legal Coordinator to conduct an investigation into the existing legal organization. The results of such a study consist of an insight into the liability and cost risks of entering into obligations and form input for drawing up the value proposition, business case and action plan for effectively organizing legal operation using smart contrating and an appropriate contract portfolio.<\/p>\n\n

Knowledge and change management<\/h2>\n\n

The step-by-step organization of legal operations requires knowledge and change management. Management and employees often possess implicit knowledge that must first be made explicit in order to subsequently be able to implement changes. A successful change process requires a balance between company, departmental and personal interests.<\/p>\n\n

Independent of the company size, implementing legal operations requires management and employees to have change skills that are organized with knowledge and change management.<\/p>\n\n

Professionals from Duthler Associates have performed such an implementation before. They use the company-specific learning environment that a company receives when registering on the MYOBI Trust Network and matching awareness and training programs.<\/p>\n\n

A company may require its own approach to organizing legal operation. That is of course possible. We are happy to discuss the possibilities.<\/p>\n\n

Implementation and management<\/h2>\n\n

We assume that a company itself takes care of the staffing of the legal operations. It may be a conscious choice to use the professionals at Duthler Associates to fulfill specific roles in implementing and maintaining the legal operation. Every company management makes such a decision.<\/p>\n\n

The professionals fulfill the following roles, among others:<\/p>\n\n
