Procurement Pro-cure-ment The process of acquiring goods, services, or works from an external vendor. In the legal context, this can involve hiring outside counsel, legal vendors, or other service providers. The law firm issued a request for proposal (RFP) to initiate the procurement process for a new document management system. There aren't many legal cases solely on procurement, but it's a fundamental business process for law firms. ← Back to BrowseNext Term →
