Settlement-document indexing with offshore support
Organize drafts, approvals, signatures, and delivery evidence while negotiation and execution decisions remain with counsel.
Defined workflowAttorney review gatesPractical escalation
Separate every version
Record draft date, source, parties, reviewer, and status. Use a stable filename and keep signed, unsigned, and superseded copies distinct.
Track approval evidence
Link the instruction or approval that moved a document forward. Do not infer assent from silence or from a similar document in another matter.
Hold final release
Counsel confirms wording, authority, signatures, delivery, and any filing. The support role can prepare the index and exception list.
