Pitch for a spot on a corporate client's outside counsel panel
A law firm panel or RFP response that addresses the legal department's real criteria: expertise, staffing, rates, budgets, diversity, and security.
The prompt
Help me write my law firm's response to a corporate legal department's outside counsel panel review or RFP.
Client and industry: [COMPANY, INDUSTRY]
RFP questions or panel criteria: [PASTE]
Practice areas and matter types they will send: [LIST]
Our relevant experience (public or client-consented): [MATTERS, RESULTS, INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE]
Proposed team and roles: [NAMES, LEVELS, ADMISSIONS]
Rates and pricing options we can offer: [STANDARD RATES, DISCOUNTS, FIXED FEES, VOLUME ARRANGEMENTS]
Diversity, technology, information security, and pro bono information: [FACTS AND CERTIFICATIONS]
Existing relationship: [current matters, past issues - or "new"]
Produce:
1. A one-page executive summary that connects our team to the matters they will actually send, not a firm history.
2. Answers to each RFP question in their order, using the evaluator's headings.
3. A staffing plan showing who does what, how we avoid over-staffing, and continuity if someone leaves.
4. A pricing section with at least two options (e.g. discounted hourly plus a fixed fee for repeat matter types) and how we budget and report spend against budget.
5. Billing guideline compliance: confirm we will follow their outside counsel guidelines and e-billing format.
6. Conflicts: note that a conflicts check on their corporate family is required before we can confirm availability [CONFIRM].
7. A list of claims that need backup or client consent before submission.
Rules: do not invent matters, results, certifications, or diversity figures; mark gaps as [ADD]. Keep claims specific and verifiable, consistent with attorney advertising rules.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
