SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Legal teams often face opaque, ad-hoc risk judgments that delay deals and escalate matters without a standardized framework. This Skill provides a structured method to identify, classify, and document legal risks using a Severity x Likelihood matrix, ensuring consistent risk terminology and actionable outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a formal risk scoring method (severity × likelihood) to categorize risk levels from GREEN to RED and guide escalation.
  • Generates standardized risk assessment memos with background, analysis, mitigating factors, and recommended actions.
  • Supports escalation workflows to senior counsel or outside counsel for high-risk matters; ideal for contract reviews, M&A diligence, data privacy events, and regulatory inquiries.

Quick Start

Prompt the system to generate a complete risk assessment memo for a given matter using the Severity x Likelihood framework.

FAQPage Schema
How do I assess legal risk for a contract to determine if escalation is needed?

To assess legal risk, classify contract clauses using a severity-by-likelihood matrix. This produces a formal risk score, a GREEN to RED risk level, and escalation guidance indicating whether senior counsel or outside review is required.

What is a severity x likelihood matrix in legal risk assessment?

A severity x likelihood matrix is a standardized framework for classifying legal risks. It evaluates the potential impact severity against the probability of occurrence to calculate a formal risk score and assign a corresponding risk level.

How do I create a standardized legal risk memo for deal diligence?

Generate a legal risk memo by inputting deal details to receive a structured document. The output includes background information, risk analysis, mitigating factors, and recommended actions to guide governance and escalation decisions.

Can I use this risk assessment framework for data privacy events and regulatory inquiries?

Yes, this risk assessment framework supports data privacy events and regulatory inquiries. It applies the severity-by-likelihood scoring matrix to classify risk levels and generate standardized assessment memos with recommended mitigations for these matters.

When should I escalate a contract risk to outside counsel?

Escalate a contract risk to outside counsel when the severity-by-likelihood assessment yields a RED risk level. The framework provides explicit escalation guidance to determine if senior counsel or external review is necessary for high-risk matters.
