Customizable Templates for IT Services Procurement: A Resource for Legal Professionals

16 min readJul 16, 2024

I noticed that my lawyer friends were struggling to find readily available ‘initial’ templates on Google specifically tailored for IT-related services and procurement, such as passive cabling, procurement, and configuration of switches, access points, firewalls, routers, etc. Seeing this gap, I took the initiative to create customizable templates that can be easily adapted by legal professionals to meet their specific needs. My aim is for these templates to assist others in the fields of Corporate Law and Cyber Law.

Please note:

The templates provided below offer a structured framework for tasks similar to the ‘initial’ one described. These templates are fully customizable to meet your specific needs and requirements. They serve as a starting point for establishing a valid structure within a corporate law environment, whether in East Asia or internationally.

Important: Please be aware that legal structures may vary by country, and I cannot be held accountable for any inaccuracies in templates adapted for your firm or company. These templates are generated using technology to address the challenge of sourcing original templates for similar tasks, which may be proprietary. Therefore, I have created this as a starting point for those facing similar issues in search of these type of documents.
