Grow Your Contract Team

Companies often have 1 or 2 people they trust to handle contracts. First Rule equips entire teams with the legal know-how to manage 7 or even 8-figure contracts like a pro.

Delegate Tasks

If you’re growing and scaling, the Executive Team may no longer have their eyes on every contract. This is nerve-wracking (and scary) for everyone involved. First Rule helps leaders delegate contract tasks with confidence.

Increase Bandwidth

As valuable as an in-house attorney is, there’s often not enough bandwidth to handle all contract-related tasks. Contract training increases the overall capacity of your team to manage contracts without overloading just one person…while knowing when to keep counsel in the loop.

Create Consistency

Implementing contract training creates a standardized approach to managing contracts across the entire company. This ensures that all team members are developing the same skill set and following a proven process.

Win in the Field

First Rule provides Project Managers, Superintendents, and all boots-on-the-ground professionals with powerful communication tools, step-by-step contract instruction, and tactical advice on the most pressing issues...when they need it most.

Fast-Track Responsiveness

You can’t afford to wait days or weeks before moving on a contract. First Rule’s on-demand training gives teams immediate insight into every aspect of a contract – equipping them to take action with confidence.

Live monthly contract training with First Rule Founder, Eliot Wagonheim

First Rule monthly live trainings offer a unique opportunity for teams to learn the tactics that enabled construction attorney, Eliot Wagonheim, to negotiate over $1 billion in contracts for clients. These cohort-based trainings provide an interactive learning experience for teams to ask questions, engage in real-time discussions, and present their own contracts for feedback and discuss the issues they confront everyday. Choose a Plus or Premium Membership for exclusive access to these monthly sessions.
