Today I am a tired lawyer...

It's easy to get tired of contracts and law. For a long time I asked myself the question before every similar situation is whether the law scares more than it solves? Yes, the contract takes time! The questions that arise are difficult and often sensitive and the formulations of clauses are endless in their interpretations.

But - this applies that both parties agree on why the contract or agreement is written. The one that you write an agreement with is not a counterpart but a partner, that's the main reason for the agreement to be written.. for us it is a contract... a tool to discuss points that are of importance to the cooperation (before, during and after). The aim is to improve the conditions for the future NOT to wait for problems that may arise along the way.

The problem arises when one party shows interest in understanding on cooperation (agreement / contract) while the other does not even seem to understand what is in their own "proposals for cooperation." We understand it is not really dislike in the sense of lack of confidence, but rather lack of knowledge and time to understand the situation.

We have a common desire for a future cooperation, but between us we have heavy clauses. Interpreting space. Lack of time. Important decisions ... and signatures that can not be given until both understand ... Today, it feels heavy.

I need a break, a little food in the stomach and possibly a stroll in the summer sun...

Time = Money… Aha!

SO, if everything takes longer to build up, is that giving it a higher value?

Or have we understood things wrong :-)?
April gets May becomes June, later. 2-4 weeks becomes 5 weeks, 6 weeks and later. Sometimes it feels like that for every day that passes we are delayed for a week, a month one ..... Had we been able to do something different? Yeah, sure, lots, but the question is whether it had gone smoother?
We are trying to find a healthy balance between building relationships, creating genuine cooperation and build mutual trust. At the same time, we must not miss the importance of being able to make demands, deliver and above all be able to come to closure. So what we're trying to do is build a working business relationship with ...... This, takes time. Time is money.
So, if we're talking about money and to measure time in terms of money, it means that the more time it takes to build a business relationship, the more value we build in our company :-)
Here's where I put words to what I would actually like to say, that we have some points in our reasoning: a partnership that is built for 2 months instead of one week feels more durable and reliable than a partnership that gets to an end in just a couple of days. The striving for a long cooperation will therefore make it float better and the expectations are mutual.
Yeah, now in Eastertime, it feels pretty good that things are taking a bit too long... it means that the we can relax! Or...?
Happy Easter from us at KORI!
