Hi Andrew,

Unfortunately, I do not have any experience in this area, but I do agree with Dr. Simon’s lecture on getting in touch directly with the legal department in order to expedite the process of signing contracts. The legal department will assist with the issue by looking closely into what is preventing the contract from being signed in a timely manner. Additionally, in order to satisfy both parties, I believe you should set up a meeting with the second person (and possibly their representative) who is supposed to sign the contract. By having the legal department and the second party present, this would allow for any unanswered questions to be addressed and back and forth discussions to be resolved in a conference room.
