We have a paralegal that does most vendor contracts. I’m product counsel but can handle higher complexity contracts with significant regulatory/legal implications or higher value. Regular vendor contracts would not be a good use of my time but I support multiple sales teams as counsel. I’m actually taking on more contracts next year after we hire a new Product Counsel, and the paralegal will report to me directly and escalate where needed, but I’ll stay as Product Counsel for a few distinct areas of the business. I’m on a small legal team for a small subsidiary of a multinational (50 legal professionals globally, only 4 in the U.S.). 300 employees total, about $1bil revenue.
She’s excellent. Her judgment is great and she knows when to escalate to an attorney. Very impressive overall and she runs a great process.
I do all the sales contracts for one of our subsidiaries (very technical work) and I do all the vendor contracts for the main entity. Contracts account for maybe 25-30% of my workload, but workload is pretty heavy. Don’t want to be too specific, but about1300 employees, highly regulated industry so contracts are carefully scrutinized.
I just tried dming you, maybe that will work.

We had people doing both for years. In the last month of each quarter they would send out an email reminding everyone that they would stop working on vendor contracts on like the 10th or 20th and so if you needed anything before end of Q, get it in by then or you would need VP approval for an exception. Worked pretty well.
I work on both types of agreements and then some.
