Prerequisites
None — this is a Phase 0 Assess skill.
Process
Map business units and their legal touchpoints:
- Identify all business units, teams, and product lines
- For each, document current interactions with legal functions
- Note frequency and type of legal requests
For each business unit, assess:
- Contracts needed — vendor agreements, customer contracts, partner agreements, employment contracts, NDAs
- Compliance requirements — industry-specific regulations, data handling obligations, reporting duties
- IP considerations — patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, open source usage
- Regulatory exposure — which regulations directly affect this unit's operations
Create legal service catalog:
- List all legal services each group needs (contract review, compliance advice, IP filing, dispute resolution, etc.)
- Map current legal support coverage for each service
- Identify gaps where legal support is needed but not provided
Identify underserved areas:
- Business units operating without adequate legal support
- High-risk activities proceeding without legal review
- Teams using outdated templates or self-service legal documents
- Areas where legal bottlenecks slow business operations
Prioritize by business impact and risk:
- Rank underserved areas by combination of business impact and legal risk
- Estimate effort to close each gap
- Recommend resourcing (in-house, outside counsel, legal tech tools)
- Propose phased rollout of legal support improvements
Write the artifact to .metapowers/legal/$ARGUMENTS/00-assess.md with heading:
