Legal DOCUMENT Automation
Delegation of Authority
Free up time for the legal team by digitizing and operationalizing complex approvals through automation.
The Challenges
Enterprise contracts often require multiple stakeholders to review and approve before executing. Complex rules for determining the appropriate approvers are often outlined in a Delegation of Authority guide. The work of interpreting these complex rules, however, are often left to the business user, resulting in and long, confusing and frustrating client experience. Organizations face the risk of business users spending time either misapplying approval rules, or engaging the incorrect approvers. This results in legal teams having to spend time helping the business navigate the delegation of authority framework.

HOW DOES MLS ADDRESS IT?
Business users often need to read through and interpret complex documentation to determine who is able to authorise their request.
Business users often require approval from multiple parties, resulting in long turnaround times on approvals.
Legal teams spending time helping business users navigate the delegation of authority framework, for which documentation already exists.
When a change in organization structure occurs, the underlying rules of the DoA framework is adjusted. There is a high level of risk that business users do not follow the appropriate approval channels.
MLS transforms the Delegation of Authority documentation into an interactive questionnaire that determines which approver the business user needs to seek approval. This removes the burden of interpretation from business users.
MLS automates workflow approvals, ensuring only the relevant approval parties are engaged. These approvals are triggered automatically as emails and provide options for the approvers to approve via email, or requests send back to business users with comments.
Using drag-and-drop, MLS enables legal teams to digitise their Delegation of Authority frameworks and build in logic, automating away the need for business users to use legal team resources to navigate the Delegation of Authority.
MLS’s no-code studio makes it simple for non-I.T. users (e.g. legal teams) to rapidly adjust the underlying business rules of their Delegation of Authority App.
