2 Complex contracting made simple Integrated legal and advisory services EY s multi-disciplinary complex service contracts team delivers a different and innovative alternative to traditional professional services practices, which changes the way legal and advisory services are provided, for the better. What is a multi-disciplinary service? We have brought together a global multi-disciplinary team of commercial, technical, financial and legal experts to help organisations of all shapes and sizes to reach important decisions regarding complex contracts. Whether you wish to renegotiate a complex service contract or evaluate your business strategy and run a more substantial competitive supplier selection process, our team can help you to determine the best course of action and source the right services for your businesses, at a competitive price using tailored legal contracts which are fit for purpose, add value, reduce risk and are workable post-signature.

3 Five reasons clients benefit from using our multi-disciplinary service No more working in silos or at cross purposes our commercial, technical, financial and legal experts work together as allies from day one. Our lawyers are not deal blockers by engaging them at the beginning of the process, rather than further along, they are involved in shaping the commercial deal and ensuring that the contractual element is aligned early in the process. Our lawyers don t need to re-draft consultants schedules, distorting the deal, as they work hand-in-hand with our consultants to get them right first time. No more re-shaping deals after reducing the number of suppliers competing for the work when your bargaining power is weakened we will handle legal and commercial aspects of your deal in parallel. Our streamlined process aims to get you to a signed legally binding contract more quickly, which can result in substantial cost savings.
