  • Compliance Information-Processing Workflows (for adhering to regulatory standards), such as regulatory filing workflows and audit trail workflows.
  • Research Information-Processing Workflows (for organizing legal information), such as case law review workflows and statutory research workflows.
  • Document Information-Processing Workflows (for handling legal documentation), such as discovery workflows and legal opinion workflows.
  • Collaboration Information-Processing Workflows (for supporting team-based legal tasks), such as task assignment workflows and review coordination workflows.
