Career
Ed Hansen has more than 30 years of experience in complex ITO, BPO, and digital transformation engagements. He co-founded Transformation Legal Group, PLLC to offer a different approach to transformation — one that treats it first as a human endeavor and then as a commercial and legal transaction.
His practice centers on guiding clients from sourcing strategy through vendor selection, deal structuring, negotiation, and ongoing governance. His NegotiatingForHumans framework has reshaped how clients and providers approach outsourcing negotiations, emphasizing durable, relationship-based commercial structures over positional bargaining.
Over his career, Ed has advised on major outsourcing and transformation transactions across industries including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and consumer packaged goods. His clients range from Fortune 500 companies to mid-market organizations undertaking their first large sourcing initiatives.
Ed has been recognized by Chambers USA, Chambers Global, and Best Lawyers in America and serves clients nationally and internationally.
