Filing package check

Hearing preparation pack
Before a set hearing, the arguing attorney has one draft pack: the hearing as the notice states it, the docket history, each order's directives quoted, each witness's prior statements with page cites, exhibit and checklist status as the firm records them, and an open-items list. The attorney decides every argument.

Inbound demand or claim intake record
When a demand, claim or subpoena arrives, the company's lawyer gets one intake record the same day: who sent it, what it asks, every date it states, the facts and citations it relies on, related matters, where the records are, and a question on keeping them. It rates nothing and recommends nothing.

Invention disclosure brief for patent counsel
Before the first call with patent counsel, the founder or engineering lead has one factual brief: the invention in the inventor's words, who contributed what and when, every outside demonstration, sale, talk or publication with its date and audience, and the records still missing. Counsel decides.

Legal hold custodian tracker
Once counsel has issued a legal hold, your legal operations lead keeps one tracker for counsel: every custodian and system in counsel’s scope, who has acknowledged and who is overdue, who has left or changed role, the refresh date counsel set, and reminders copied from counsel’s own text for a person to send.

Matter budget and status summary
The responsible partner sees one matter whole: scope, phases against their dates, the budget against fees to date and the projected total, a red, amber or green status with the rule behind it, risks and next actions with owners. Built from the time export and the matter plan, never a view on the merits.

Meeting agenda, notes and follow-ups
Whoever runs the meeting walks in with an agenda where every topic has an outcome and a time, and walks out with a one-page record: what was decided, who owns each action and by when, and what is still open. Nothing reaches anyone until that person has read it and sends it.

Premortem before a decision
Before your team commits to a plan that is hard to undo, such as a move, a launch or a new system, a short workshop pictures it a few months on, already failed. The record ranks the reasons, turns each top risk into a check, a warning sign and an owner, and leaves the go decision with the owner.

Before a draft privilege log goes to review counsel, the paralegal gets an entry-by-entry check against counsel’s approved format and role map, and a list of logged documents’ attachments with no entry.

Project lessons review
When a phase or a project ends, the project manager gets one blameless review: whether it achieved what it was for, how scope, schedule and budget moved and why, whether the success measures were the right ones, and practice changes for the team to choose, each with an owner and a follow-up date.

Project scope baseline
A project manager turns an approved brief into a draft scope baseline: the deliverables, what is excluded, the acceptance criteria for each deliverable, the constraints and the open questions for the sponsor. Nothing implied counts as scope until the sponsor says so.
