FinePrint Product Lawyer review
Lawyer review
Exactly what lawyers review, and what they do not
Not every output is reviewed by a lawyer. Each step of FinePrint Counsel's work follows one of three review paths, and your matter shows which path it took and what a lawyer decided.
Each step follows one of three paths
The path depends on what the step needs: an approved process, a lawyer's answer, or a lawyer leading the whole matter.
Green. Routine work follows a process lawyers approved
Work your company does often runs on a process lawyers approved, within the approval rules your company set. A lawyer does not read each document. Lawyers sample-check the work in AnswerLoop and correct what they find.
Yellow. Additional legal judgment waits for a lawyer
When a step needs additional legal judgment, such as reading a covenant a new hire signed with a former employer, the work stops there. You approve the question, a lawyer answers it in AnswerLoop, and the steps that depend on the answer wait for it.
Red. A specialist lawyer leads the matter
Some matters need a lawyer in charge from the start, such as a lawsuit or a regulator's investigation. FinePrint Counsel prepares the file, with the documents, the facts and the open questions, so the lawyer who takes the matter starts from the whole record.
Your matter shows each check and answer
Each matter lists its checks and their results: what cleared, what was added to the plan, and what stopped for a lawyer.
The checks
When a founder asked to hire a senior engineer in Colorado, six checks ran before anything was drafted. The option pool and the stock valuation cleared. A board consent, the Colorado registrations and a required notice were added to the plan. The candidate's covenant with her previous employer stopped for a lawyer.
The lawyer's answer
When a lawyer answers, the matter records who reviewed it, the question they were asked, their answer and the governing reason, and what changed as a result. Here the lawyer agreed the covenant did not reach the new role, and one guardrail was added to her onboarding paperwork.
Lawyers' corrections improve FinePrint LM
Lawyers' reviews and corrections in AnswerLoop are how FinePrint LM improves. That is what we mean by “trained by lawyers.”
What FineShield guidance is, and is not
FineShield checks messages and meetings against your company's own contracts, policies and approval limits. It flags, cites, guides, and routes. Approvers and your lawyers decide.
A live prompt does not mean a lawyer has reviewed that response during the meeting.
Your company makes the final decisions
Signing, sending, filing and paying stay with your company, and each waits for the approval of the person you named.
