Client-consent tracking for offshore legal support
Track approved consent requests and evidence without deciding whether a consent is legally sufficient.
Defined workflowAttorney review gatesPractical escalation
Define the request
Record the matter, requested action, recipient, approved wording, date sent, and owner. A vague “consent needed” status does not show what the client was asked to approve.
Store the evidence
Link the response, timestamp, version, and communication channel. Preserve a refusal, silence, or conditional reply rather than treating it as approval.
Escalate interpretation
The firm decides whether the response satisfies its process and whether the action may proceed. Support staff report the record and keep the release blocked until directed.
