Key Quotes by Michelle Six & Dan Raffle

• Michelle: “The biggest pitfall, at least for me, is that there is no best practice or one way to do things.”

• Michelle: “Dan raised a really good point in that probably the first and most important thing to think about if you’re planning to negotiate a TAR protocol is where you need to use TAR…. I think TAR at its best is a process that can be utilized and leveraged to save on time, save on costs, to hopefully build a more efficient and accurate review….”

• Dan: “Before you burn time negotiating an order, make sure you know what you want to get and what the chances are of success.”
