What Is a Request for Proposal (RFP) and Why You Need a Lawyer to Review It?
If your company is bidding for a large project, especially in sectors like IT, construction, consulting, or public procurement, you've likely encountered an RFP – Request for Proposal. An RFP is a formal document issued by organizations seeking competitive proposals for specific services or solutions. It outlines the project's scope, requirements, deadlines, and evaluation criteria. While it serves as an opportunity to win business, responding to an RFP without careful legal review can expose your company to hidden risks.

At Dayslegal, we regularly assist clients in reviewing and drafting RFP responses to ensure legal, commercial, and strategic alignment. A lawyer’s role in the RFP process includes flagging unclear or unfavorable terms, such as liability caps, indemnities, intellectual property ownership, or compliance clauses. We also help clients strengthen their own proposals by clarifying terms, ensuring alignment with procurement law, and identifying obligations that could lead to disputes or financial exposure later on.
If you're preparing to submit or issue an RFP, don’t overlook the legal fine print. Whether you're a growing tech company, a creative agency, or a vendor entering new markets, legal guidance during the RFP process can make the difference between a smooth contract or costly problems. Please reach us at info@dayslegal.com to schedule a consultation and make sure your next RFP process is secure, compliant, and strategically sound.
