Digital Law Services is a digital solutions consultancy
In-house legal departments are inundated with requests, often requiring manual handling. This includes creating and reviewing NDAs, addressing operational issues, and more. There's a vast potential for standardisation and automation, enabling the legal team to handle high volumes efficiently, act promptly and deliver advice without slowing down commercial projects.
A virtual legal assistant, powered by no-code technology, allows legal teams to use no-code to develop self-service apps that mirror their processes, service levels, and risk appetite. Through a customisable interface, the team outlines necessary information for a request. Other employees provide this information, and decisioning logic filters, manages, and responds as needed.
No-code allows legal teams to automate standard document production, like NDAs or employee contracts. Business users are led through a process to customise documents. Drafts are automatically uploaded for approval.
This workflow ensures document visibility and enables e-signature integration with tools like DocuSign.
Using no-code, legal requests can be automatically tracked, providing insights into demand, priority, frequency, type and origin of requests and facilitate data-driven decisions regarding business needs and risks.
By leveraging hybrid cloud solutions, Digital Law Services can help legal departments with:
Employment contract generator: With no-code, legal teams can automate the largest portion of their manual efforts, leaving time for the more complex employment law issues. In terms of employment contracts, legal teams can create a decision-making algorithm that automatically produces compliant employee contracts, based on the information provided.
NDA generator: With no-code, legal teams can use a visual, drag-and-drop editor to easily create a workflow that automates the creation and signing of NDAs, from end to end. The team uses their expertise to define the logic behind the decision-making, ensuring each NDA drafted comes with the most relevant paragraphs, using the proper format, with the correct styling all without having to manually check each single NDA (unless of course they included an escalation process for certain NDAs).
Data breach reporting assistant: No-code allows in-house legal teams to build a risk-scoring mechanism that is able to take into account complex rules and warn of data breaches in a fast and reliable manner. Taking one step further, a data breach assistant can automatically provide suggested steps to help triage the consequences of data breaches, allowing the company to act fast and document all the steps in a centralised audit trail.
DPIA generator: Utilising no-code, legal teams can create a workflow that automates the generation of Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs). Using their expertise, teams define the decision logic that forms DPIAs relevant to specific data processing activities, all appropriately structured and formatted without necessitating manual checks on each DPIA (unless a review process is included for certain high-risk DPIAs). Advancing further, the DPIA generator can offer suggestions for mitigating identified risks, speeding up the process and documenting all steps in a centralised audit trail. This not only helps organisations ensure systematic compliance with data protection regulations, but it also allows legal teams to spend their time on more intricate data protection matters. The DPIA generator is a key tool in the data protection strategy, ensuring effective risk management and compliance.
