The proposal is not yet approved. Before work starts, the in-house lead will approve the escalation guidelines and fees.

For legal professionals
After saving your Prep in Agent for an eligible scheduled Lawtrades interview, rehearse an answer and get specific feedback.
Interview practiceExample exchangeA quarter-end deal
“What recommendation would you give Sales, including a proposed fallback and the facts you’d need before approving it?”
“…negotiate a reasonable compromise.”
Feedback“A reasonable compromise” leaves your judgment unclear.
An interviewer needs to hear your proposed fallback, what you need to learn, and who should approve any remaining risk.
Sales wants to close a deal before quarter-end. The customer insists on uncapped liability for data incidents, but your team hasn’t confirmed its notification capabilities or insurance coverage. What recommendation would you give Sales, including a proposed fallback and the facts you’d need before approving it?
In this hypothetical, I would balance the risk with getting the deal done, ask Sales and Security for their views, and negotiate a reasonable compromise.
