The problem

What teams deal with today.

Contract lifecycle in five tools

Request by email, draft in Word, approve in Teams, sign in DocuSign, store on SharePoint. Five tools, five access logs, no single source of truth.

Compliance calendar in Excel

Annual filings, ESR notifications, transfer pricing, GDPR records. Discovered by audit, not by alert. Recovery filings cost more than the original would have.

Business units route around legal

Sales, HR, procurement bypass review because turnaround is unpredictable. Shadow contracts surface during diligence, years later.

External counsel for routine work

No internal templates or workflow, so every NDA, supplier MSA, and employment letter goes outside at premium rates. Volume is unmanageable, spend is uncapped.

Matter types

Targeted workflows.

Each workflow is a matter template, pre-configured with trigger, stages, and outputs. Start one from the spotlight, the client portal, or a scheduled calendar event.

Contract review

Trigger. Business-unit request via structured intake form. Auto-triaged by type (NDA, MSA, vendor, customer, employment, IP) and value threshold.

Stages.
  1. Intake form, triage, template selection
  2. Redline against playbook positions
  3. Internal approval per delegation matrix
  4. Counterparty negotiation rounds
  5. Execution, filing, retention rule application

Outputs. Executed contract, exception log, audit chain of approvals, filed in the contract register.

NDA generation

Trigger. Sales, BD, or HR request via self-service portal. Standard one-way or mutual, with carve-outs auto-applied per counterparty type.

Stages.
  1. Self-service form (counterparty, purpose, term)
  2. Auto-generated NDA from template
  3. Optional legal review for non-standard terms
  4. Counterparty signing via Opbox Sign

Outputs. Executed NDA, audit certificate, indexed in the counterparty record.

Supplier MSA

Trigger. Procurement request for a new or renewing supplier above the standard NDA threshold.

Stages.
  1. Procurement intake and risk classification
  2. Template selection (services, software, data processor)
  3. Redline negotiation and exception log
  4. Internal approval per spend threshold
  5. Execution, filing, supplier record link

Outputs. Executed MSA, exception log, linked supplier record, renewal calendar entry.

Regulatory filing

Trigger. Statutory calendar (annual return, ESR, transfer pricing, sanctions, sector-specific) or trigger event (change of control, breach).

Stages.
  1. Source data gathering
  2. Drafting and review
  3. Internal sign-off
  4. Authority submission and acknowledgement

Outputs. Filed return, acknowledgement, retention-rule-stamped supporting file.

IP registration

Trigger. Invention disclosure, brand creation, or product launch. Multi-jurisdiction filings spawn linked sub-matters.

Stages.
  1. Invention or mark disclosure form
  2. Search and freedom-to-operate
  3. Application drafting and inventor declarations
  4. Filing and office actions
  5. Grant, registration, renewal calendar

Outputs. Filed application, granted registration, IP register entry, renewal schedule.

Employment matter

Trigger. HR partner request: hire, change, exit, grievance, restructure. Sensitivity policy auto-applied to the matter.

Stages.
  1. Scope and confidentiality classification
  2. Document drafting (offer, change, exit, settlement)
  3. Internal approval per delegation matrix
  4. Signing and HR-system update

Outputs. Executed documents, audit certificate, HR-system reference, retention rule per jurisdiction.

Policy update

Trigger. Regulatory change, audit finding, board direction, or annual review. Cross-policy impact assessed upfront.

Stages.
  1. Change driver and impact analysis
  2. Policy drafting and stakeholder review
  3. Approval per governance matrix
  4. Publication, training, and acknowledgement tracking

Outputs. Published policy, training record, signed acknowledgements, version history.

M&A diligence

Trigger. Board-approved acquisition or divestment. Multi-workstream engagement: legal, financial, tax, commercial, regulatory.

Stages.
  1. Scope, target data room access, request list
  2. Workstream allocation and findings log
  3. Red flags memo and risk register
  4. SPA negotiation support and CP tracking
  5. Closing, signature pack, post-completion integration

Outputs. Indexed findings log, red flags memo, executed SPA, signed audit certificate, post-completion workstreams seeded.

Privacy and GDPR

Trigger. New processing activity, DPIA threshold, data-subject request, or breach notification.

Stages.
  1. Processing activity registration (ROPA update)
  2. DPIA where threshold met
  3. Data-subject request workflow (SAR, erasure, portability)
  4. Breach notification within statutory window

Outputs. Updated ROPA, completed DPIA, signed SAR response, filed breach notification, audit-chained evidence.

Self-serve
Business units fill a structured form, the right template fires, legal sees a triaged request, not a free-text email. Routine work stays inside the platform.
Audited
Every approval, redline, exception, and signature recorded against the matter. The GC can answer “show me every supplier contract signed last quarter” in seconds.
Configurable
Per-jurisdiction retention rules, sensitivity policy, approval thresholds. Same matter type, different rules per country, no code change.
