Our Partnership with LB3 Law

TC2 and LB3 are long‑standing strategic partners with more than two decades of experience working together to support enterprise clients on complex technology and communications transactions.  Our partnership integrates TC2’s buyer‑side consulting expertise with LB3’s specialized legal services to deliver a coordinated, end‑to‑end sourcing and contracting experience.

LB3 is the premier boutique law firm representing enterprises navigating complex technology and telecommunications deals. LB3 specializes in structuring and negotiating mission‑critical ICT agreements across cloud, network, software, outsourcing, managed services and emerging technology stacks––bringing unmatched legal, practical, and regulatory insight to every engagement. Its partners’ decades of experience and practical approach help the world’s most sophisticated organizations secure flexible, resilient contracts, manage supplier risk, and make decisions that strengthen business performance. In representing clients, LB3 knows that the right outcome is often driven by the right team, and knows that when TC2 is part of the team, enterprises get outstanding support and strategic advice for the deal lifecycle.

When we are engaged together, TC2 consultants and LB3 attorneys work collaboratively from the earliest stages of a sourcing initiative through execution of signature‑ready agreements. By aligning our engagement models, tools, templates, and methods, we eliminate handoffs and gaps between consulting and legal work—allowing issues to be identified and resolved more efficiently and with greater commercial clarity.

The result is a fully integrated approach in which legal and consulting perspectives reinforce one another. Clients benefit from faster issue resolution, tighter alignment between commercial intent and contract language, and agreements that are structured to be both executable and defensible over the life of the deal.

When we partner to deliver client projects, TC2 and LB3 operate as one coordinated team with clear roles. TC2 drives the buyer-side consulting work—baseline creation, market and supplier strategy, benchmarking, RFx design, commercial modeling, negotiation planning, and the mechanics that determine whether a deal can be implemented successfully.

LB3 provides the legal expertise and resources—drafting and negotiating contract documents, addressing enforceability and interpretation issues, and supporting negotiation strategy when supplier legal positions become a blocker.

TC2 and LB3’s processes, tools, templates, and methods are fully aligned and have been honed jointly for over twenty years.  For instance, TC2’s RFx templates are structured to seamlessly translate into LB3’s form contract structure, resulting in a highly efficient and accurate translation from RFx proposals into robust contracts.

The benefit of the TC2-LB3 partnership is zero friction and complete integration between consulting and legal teams. Together, we provide a fully integrated, turnkey set of technology sourcing consulting and legal services.  Instead of toggling between separate advisors with different focuses, you get coordinated support aligned to the same goal: a deal the enterprise can execute and defend.

We’re Not Exclusive

TC2 has extensive experience working with both our clients’ internal legal counsel, and other external law firms that our clients may prefer to use.  We are familiar with a range of different approaches to IT contracts that different legal organizations use and we partner collaboratively and effectively to deliver the best outcome for our shared client.
