Client report check log

Completed engagement file review

Contract amendment trace
Before a question about a signed contract goes to counsel, the contracts manager has one dated history of the provision that matters: every signed document in order, each version quoted with its document and section, every gap marked, and a list for the lawyer to confirm. It never says which wording controls.

Contract intake brief
When another party's agreement arrives, counsel gets a one-page intake brief: what it is, read from its titles, the parties as named, what is missing, the requester's purpose and date, and the reviewer your own routing rules name. It comments on no term; counsel decides.

Contract issues table for counsel
Before counsel negotiates a vendor or customer agreement, the contracts team hands over one cited issues table: every clause quoted with its section, the playbook position it meets or departs from, the playbook’s fallback wording copied beside each departure, and the approver your matrix names. Counsel decides.

Contract renewal and notice register
From your signed agreements and amendments, the contracts manager gets a register for counsel to confirm: each term, renewal and notice clause quoted with its section, cancel-by and send-by dates proposed only under counsel's own counting rules, and the windows sorted by proposed send-by date. Nothing is sent.

Course sequence and workload review
A course lead revising an outline for the next cohort gets a module map: learning goals, prerequisites, activities and the instructor's own time estimates, with crowded weeks and coverage gaps marked and every gap written as a question. The course lead decides what changes.

Deliverable issue completeness check
As a calculation, report or drawing package nears issue, the quality reviewer or document controller gets a checklist: missing review records, revisions that disagree between the index, the register and the title block, and citations of out-of-date calculations. Issue stays with the engineers.

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.

IP ownership and licence question table
Before an agreement or statement of work is signed, IP counsel gets one table of the ownership, assignment, licence, background-IP and confidentiality clauses, each quoted with its section, set against the company's own IP positions and led by whether the assignment words counsel expects were found.

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.

NDA check against counsel's approved positions
Before anyone signs a proposed NDA, counsel gets every clause quoted with its section and set beside the positions counsel has approved: matching, departing or not covered. Any obligation beyond confidentiality sends the whole NDA to counsel. The check never says an NDA is ready to sign.

Open-source licence inventory for counsel
Before a release ships or an acquirer asks, counsel and the engineering lead get every open-source package listed with its licence as found, the file and line where it was read, and the duties your own policy attaches to it. A missing, custom or conflicting licence is marked needs review, never cleared.

Outgoing work sign-off log
Every item that needs a responsible attorney's sign-off before it leaves the firm sits in one log, in the order it has to go out: waiting, approved or returned, with the attorney's own note. Anything close to its date with no decision is flagged first. The log tracks status and never touches the legal substance.

Outside-counsel invoice questions
When a law firm’s invoice arrives, legal operations has one worksheet ready: every line set against the agreed rates, the approved matter budget and the company’s own billing guidelines, each difference written as a neutral question for the firm.

Process map and bottleneck review
Map one process step by step: who does each step, how long work waits and how long it takes, where it is handed over and where it gets sent back. Then find the one step that caps how much gets finished, and what to try there first. The owner decides what changes.

Spreadsheet check before sharing
Before a model or schedule goes to a client, a lender or a board, the sender gets one report on it: every error value, short total, buried assumption and hidden row pinned to its cell, each with a fix or a question, and a plain list of what was not checked. Nothing in the workbook is changed.

Weekly status requests to outside counsel
Every Monday, in-house counsel has a draft status request for each outside firm that owes one: what has happened since the last update, the dates on record to confirm, decisions pending and spend against budget, plus the matters skipped and why. Counsel edits and sends each one.

Write an SOP from how the work is done
Turn a walkthrough of how one piece of work is really done into a written procedure anyone on the team can follow: who does each step, how they know it is done, what to do when it goes wrong and when to stop and ask. The owner approves it before anyone relies on it.
