Good point, Aimee. I totally agree and rarely accept non-substantive comments from opposing counsel.
I agree with you on this article. Recreating documents when all is required is your comments and inputs. i have suffered from this in the past. it is my hope that lawyers would do everything in their power to minimize transaction costs.
I don’t have a response to your survey because I do what you do. I just wanted to applaud you for your perspective of our role as transactional business attorneys. I share your frustrations and endorse your attitude 100%.

Aimee,
You are absolutely right; 6 weeks delay and then what looks like manufactured work to generate fees – how can that be justified? Unfortunately, it still exists but one of the beneficial outcomes of reduced legal budgets is that most in-house teams are scrutinizing work and time spent, so such an approach is being exposed and on the way out.
Keep giving value for money!

Aimee, it really is very annoying when you receive the same contract you have drafted, but in another form. I try to be very cautious about that, because you can gain an enemy on the other side, and as attorneys we know we have to finally convince not only the counterpart but also its attorney, so better not upset him/her.
As I always say, the best can be opossed to the good, so as long as any draft addresses all relevant issues, I rather live with it.
Kind regards,
