Workflows that Require Counsel Review
Introduction
The platform is designed to help support good working relationships between companies and their legal counsel. Using the platform helps bring additional transparency, collaboration, and efficiency to your work with your lawyer.
To help ensure that companies are getting the guidance they need from their legal counsel, the platform prevents company representatives from accessing certain workflows until they register their legal counsel on the platform.
You can follow the instructions in this article to add your lawyer to your account. You and your lawyer also get to decide which workflows will require your lawyer's review (i.e. workflows set as Legal Review Required), and which workflows are set to optional. This article provides more insights on our Counsel Involvement Settings.
