Throughout Verity’s career, the one thing that stood out to her was the need to simplify the law and increase productivity to drive better business outcomes. She has worked in several key Australian telecommunications and technology companies of different sizes and structures over the past 7 years.

Whatever a company's size, all want to do more with less. Getting things done accurately and quickly the first time is key.

Verity saw a need for clear and simple contract structures; contracts that easily move through the contracting process and are optimised for electronic processes. She developed Reverse Sandwich Contracting as a low cost, simple technique geared toward filling this gap.

Verity wrote Secrets to Productive Contracts to help young lawyers, paralegals and anyone who works with contracts. She hopes they get the benefits of more productive contracts without the trial and error she went through.

The book is a step-by-step guide to develop forward thinking, digital contacts that are useful and useable for both lawyers and non-lawyers.

We all need to be more productive.

It’s time contracts got disrupted.

Verity is a Director at the Communication Research Institute and Company Secretary with Melbourne social enterprise STREAT Ltd. Verity White is a practising lawyer.
