Use with attorney review

This page describes a legal technology workflow. It is not legal advice. Final work product should be reviewed by a qualified legal professional.

Workflow

A practical workflow for contract managers.

Start with the legal task and source material

For contract managers, define the matter, jurisdiction, documents, facts, and question before using Deal Strategy Builder. A narrow prompt and complete source material produce a more useful first pass.

Use Deal Strategy Builder for the first structured pass

Deal Strategy Builder can help prepare negotiation strategy, fallback positions, and deal issue lists. The goal is to create a working draft, checklist, issue map, or research trail that a legal professional can refine.

Review against primary sources and client facts

Legal AI output should be checked against the actual record, governing law, client instructions, and approved playbooks, escalation rules, and legal signoff. OpusLaw is a legal workflow tool, not a substitute for legal judgment.

Move the result into the broader matter workflow

Use the result as a launch point for a memo, brief, contract review, client update, negotiation note, or next Practice Hub tool. Keep the final answer tied to source documents and attorney approval.

Review checklist

What to verify before relying on the output.

Confirm the source documents and facts are complete before using Deal Strategy Builder.

Check all legal conclusions against current law and controlling authority.

Preserve confidentiality and avoid uploading information that should not be placed in a tool without approval.

Review approved playbooks, escalation rules, and legal signoff before sending work product to a client, court, counterparty, or business stakeholder.
