In 2024, a large global bank kicked off several high-impact, time-sensitive initiatives at once. The work wasn’t neatly sequenced, it landed in parallel, across jurisdictions with commercial consequences if timelines slipped. Two pressures hit at the same time:

• Business divestments were moving quickly, requiring clear contractual strategy for exits and clean documentation for buyers. 
• Global roll-outs needed local contracting executed after a framework was agreed - across dozens of territories, each with its own nuances.

The bank’s legal team needed capacity that could keep pace with shifting deal requirements, manage multiple stakeholders, and maintain the bank’s standards for quality, compliance, and commercial alignment.

That’s the context in which Radiant Law supported the bank after being appointed to the bank’s inaugural Alternative Legal Services Panel.

The approach we took works best for organisations dealing with:

• Concurrent legal workstreams across jurisdictions 
• Time-sensitive transactions where contracting pace affects the commercial timeline 
• Regulatory change requiring remediation at speed 
• A need for process-led delivery and visibility - not just ad hoc resourcing

‍

How we move the bank from urgent demand to controlled delivery

Radiant’s role was to provide capacity plus coordination: helping the bank absorb spikes in demand, complete specialist drafting and negotiation, and keep workstreams organised and visible, combining specialist legal delivery with tight coordination across five key areas:

• Strategic contract review (divestments): Identified key rights, constraints, and risks in supplier agreements to inform exit planning. 
• Drafting + negotiation: Produced and negotiated TSAs and local implementation agreements, tailored to jurisdiction and deal context. 
• Controlled disclosure: Redacted commercially sensitive terms so documents could be shared with buyers without overexposure. 
• Delivery management: Kept parallel workstreams on track with clear milestones, ownership, and timeline control. ‍
• Stakeholder reporting: Provided concise progress updates for legal and business leads to maintain visibility and reduce follow-up churn.

‍

1) Strategic review to support sale planning and risk decisions

For the divestment work applied a contractual strategy lens, and:

• Reviewed supplier agreements to identify key rights, obligations, and risks relevant to exits 
• Surfaced items that mattered for sale planning, including contractual constraints and leverage points 
• Fed findings into decisions about what needed to be negotiated, transitioned, or disclosed

‍

2) Drafting and negotiation built for speed and jurisdictional fit

Across divestments and roll-outs, we delivered drafting and negotiation support for priority areas including:

• Drafted and negotiated Transitional Services Agreements (TSAs) aligned to the exit plan 
• Drafted and negotiated local agreements to implement post-framework arrangements in multiple territories 
• Tailored language and positions to the context and jurisdiction rather than forcing one-size-fits-all templates

‍

3) Redaction that protected sensitive terms while enabling deal execution

When documents needed to be shared externally, we supported structured redaction and:

• Removed commercially sensitive terms while preserving usability for buyer-side review 
• Enabled information flow required for transaction progress without overexposure of confidential positions

‍

4) Project management across parallel workstreams

A key part of delivery was keeping multiple moving parts in sync, we:

• Drove delivery timelines across parallel workstreams 
• Managed sequencing and dependencies so critical-path items didn’t stall 
• Helped maintain predictable throughput as priorities shifted

‍

5) Stakeholder reporting that reduced internal friction

Radiant supported the bank’s legal and business leads with updates that were clear and decision-useful, through:

• Regular progress reporting 
• Accurate status visibility across workstreams 
• Reduced follow-up churn by keeping information consistent and current

‍

Multiple urgent projects delivered on time, with consistent quality and clear stakeholder visibility

Across the divestment, roll-out, and remediation workstreams, we provided a combination of legal delivery, coordination, and project management designed to keep work moving without lowering the bar. Outcomes the bank achieved with our team’s support included:

• Divestment readiness through targeted review of supplier agreements, enabling contractual strategy for business exits. 
• Buyer-safe documentation through structured redaction of sensitive terms, supporting deal execution while protecting commercial positions. 
• Negotiated Transitional Services Agreements (TSAs) tailored to the exit context and jurisdictional requirements. 
• Local agreements delivered at scale to operationalise post-framework roll-outs across multiple territories. ‍
• Clear internal line-of-sight via accurate stakeholder reporting and progress updates for legal and business leads.

The practical “after” state: the bank could keep momentum on strategic initiatives while sustaining its standards even as delivery spanned multiple jurisdictions and concurrent timelines.
