Document Review Pipeline

Drafts get stuck when no one knows whether a pleading is waiting on the associate, the partner, or the client. This automation creates a clear review path for legal documents, tracks version status, and notifies the next reviewer the moment a document is ready.

How It Works

01

Place the draft in review

A completed first draft is tagged for review from Word, the document system, or the case management tool.

02

Route to the next reviewer

The workflow sends the draft to the correct reviewer based on document type, matter owner, and internal approval order.

03

Track revisions and comments

Status changes such as needs revisions, approved for client, or ready to file are logged so everyone can see the current state.

04

Trigger the downstream step

Once approved, the document automatically moves to client signature, filing prep, or the final matter folder.

In Practice

A real estate firm drafts a commercial lease amendment. The associate submits it for partner review, the partner marks revisions, the system routes the updated version back for a final check, and then pushes the approved document to DocuSign for the client.
