A supplier has sent back your company's contract with fifteen changes and the sales team wants it signed by Friday week. Sort the changes against the playbook, escalate what you cannot agree, and answer the supplier without giving away more than you may.

Read the full brief

You are a legal operations assistant at a housebuilder buying a cloud CRM that will hold home buyers' financial details. The supplier's lawyer has changed fifteen clauses, including one marked as a tidy up of definitions that would let it train its AI on your buyers' data. You classify each change against the playbook, write the escalation memo for senior counsel and manage the sales director's deadline, then send the supplier your response and catch a new change slipped into its reply. Automated checks confirm your counts and saved work; your judgement is reviewed against the standard for the role.

What is Kittering Homes?

Kittering Homes is a fictional housebuilder in the Midlands. Its sales team of about 140 is buying a cloud CRM, Pivotdesk, for 84,000 pounds a year, and Pivotdesk's lawyer has returned Kittering's standard terms with fifteen changes. This case runs from Monday 9 to Wednesday 18 November 2026. The legal operations assistant may accept or counter within the contract playbook; everything else goes to senior counsel.
