Legal department setup and operations
Establish a clear way to receive, review, approve and follow up legal work. We start with the organisation’s needs and working relationships, then prepare processes, templates and responsibilities for requests and contracts.
For organisations establishing a legal function or improving the organisation of existing legal work.
Is this service right for you?
- Legal requests arrive through different channels and their ownership or status is difficult to track.
- The legal function’s scope and relationship with other departments need clarification.
- You need consistent templates and review routes before moving to automation.
Possible scope of work
- Understanding request types, the nature of demand and the current allocation of responsibilities.
- Designing procedures for request intake, classification, required information, review and closure.
- Organising contract and correspondence templates, obligation registers, retention and access procedures within the agreed scope.
- Defining legal and organisational automation requirements with the technical owner. Software development or system procurement is not automatically included.
Deliverables by agreement
- A procedure guide or operating model for the legal function, as agreed.
- Request forms, registers and work templates suited to their intended use.
- Proposed responsibilities, implementation steps and automation requirements where commissioned.
What to prepare later
- The type of organisation and teams that need legal support.
- Current difficulties and the tools and processes already used.
- Necessary sample forms or process descriptions will be identified later; do not initially share client files or employee information.

Questions about this service
Should we start with governance or automation?
First identify the underlying issue. If responsibilities and approval routes are unclear, they need to be organised so automation requirements can be defined and implemented.
Do we need a large standalone department?
The proposed arrangement depends on needs and resources. It can begin with practical procedures, responsibilities and templates before the structure expands.
Does this include recruiting staff or operating a system?
These activities are not assumed to be included. The engagement specifies whether it covers design and documentation only, or implementation support and follow-up as well.
