A Day in the Life

8:00 AM — Deadline check. Your contract dashboard shows today's priorities: 2 renewals need action this week, 1 NDA expires tomorrow without signature. The automated alerts caught these before they became emergencies.

10:00 AM — NDA request. The sales team needs an NDA for a prospect. Through the self-service portal, they submitted the request with counterparty details. Your approval workflow routed standard terms for auto-approval; you just need to review and send.

1:00 PM — Compliance audit. Internal audit asks for all vendor contracts with data processing terms. Instead of digging through folders, you filter your contract database: 23 contracts match, all with current DPA attachments. Export the report in 5 minutes.

3:00 PM — Matter update. The ongoing litigation needs a status update for leadership. Your matter management system shows all activity: documents filed, depositions scheduled, outside counsel bills to date. Generate the executive summary automatically.

4:30 PM — Vendor risk review. A new vendor wants to handle customer data. You open your vendor risk dashboard, initiate the assessment workflow, and the questionnaire goes out automatically. Responses will be scored against your risk criteria when they come back.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Runwork help legal teams manage contracts?

Build a centralized contract repository with custom metadata (value, renewal dates, counterparty, terms). Automated alerts notify you before renewals and expirations. Track the full lifecycle from draft through signature to renewal. Version control maintains history of all changes.

Can Runwork automate legal workflows like NDA requests?

Yes. Create self-service portals where business teams request standard documents. Workflows route requests based on your criteria—standard terms auto-approve, non-standard terms require review. Reduce time spent on routine requests while maintaining control over exceptions.

How do audit trails work for compliance?

Runwork maintains immutable audit logs of all actions. Every document view, edit, approval, and change is logged with timestamp and user. Filter and export audit data for compliance reviews. Meet regulatory requirements with built-in evidence of controls.

Can legal teams use Runwork without IT involvement?

Yes. Build applications using natural language descriptions. No coding required, no IT tickets. Create contract trackers, compliance dashboards, and matter management systems yourself. Enterprise security (SSO, permissions, audit logs) is built in automatically.
