# Legal Workflows: End-to-End Legal Processes

> Learn how the primary Legal workflows run inside SpineWorkspace, from triggers and steps to handoffs, approvals, and receipts.

Workflows in the Legal domain coordinate counsel, contracts managers, legal ops, and external parties through structured processes. Each workflow has a trigger, a sequence of steps, defined handoffs, approval gates, and a receipt.

## Contract Review Workflow

* **Trigger:** Contract is uploaded or imported from Ironclad.
* **Steps:** triage by type and risk, draft or review redlines, negotiate terms, obtain approvals, execute signature, store final version.
* **Handoffs:** Contracts Manager to Counsel for redline review; Counsel to General Counsel for high-risk approval.
* **Approvals:** High-risk or non-standard contracts require General Counsel sign-off.
* **Receipt:** ContractExecuted event is recorded with envelope ID and stored version.

## Matter Intake Workflow

* **Trigger:** Legal request is submitted via form or email.
* **Steps:** triage by type and urgency, assign owner, create tasks, track progress, resolve and close.
* **Handoffs:** Triage Agent to Counsel for assignment; Counsel to Legal Ops for evidence gathering.
* **Approvals:** Escalation to General Counsel for matters above a risk threshold.
* **Receipt:** MatterClosed event is recorded with resolution summary.

## Compliance Audit Workflow

* **Trigger:** Audit is scoped for a regulation or internal control.
* **Steps:** define scope, request evidence, review findings, assign remediation, verify closure.
* **Handoffs:** Legal Ops to Control Owner for evidence; Legal Ops to Counsel for finding review.
* **Approvals:** Remediation plans require Counsel approval before closure.
* **Receipt:** AuditClosed event is recorded with finding summary and closure date.
