Legal Operations & Automation Projects

Projects focused on automating legal workflows and building scalable systems across the full legal operations lifecycle, from intake and processing to execution, tracking, and knowledge management.

Contract Execution & Signature Automation

(In development)

Zapier DocuSign Jira

Problem

Manual contract envelope creation and execution processes were time-consuming and error-prone, requiring up to 1 hour per day per paralegal and delaying contract completion and Jira ticket closure.

Solution

Designing an end-to-end automated workflow that:

  • Generates contract envelopes from structured inputs
  • Validates recipients, signatories, and signature placement
  • Sends documents automatically for signature
  • Tracks execution status
  • Uploads fully executed agreements to Jira and updates ticket status

Impact (expected)

  • Reduce manual workload in contract execution
  • Accelerate contract turnaround and ticket resolution
  • Improve accuracy and standardization of signature workflows

Template-Based Contract Generation

Google Apps Script Document Templates

Description

Designed and implemented an automated system to generate NDAs and content creator agreements from structured inputs, ensuring consistency in template selection, naming conventions, and document storage.

Problem

Template-based contract creation was a repetitive, manual process involving multiple steps such as template selection, data input, file naming, and folder organization, leading to inefficiencies, increased turnaround time, and risk of errors.

Solution

Developed an automated workflow that:

  • Selects the appropriate contract template
  • Automatically populates contract fields
  • Applies standardized naming conventions
  • Stores documents in structured directories

Impact

  • Reduced manual workload and contract creation time
  • Increased consistency and standardization across agreements
  • Improved accuracy and scalability of contract generation processes
  • Enabled efficient handling of agreements across 15+ jurisdictions

Legal Data Visibility & KPI Dashboarding

Jira

Problem

Limited visibility into legal workload, performance, and request distribution.

Solution

Designed and implemented Jira dashboards segmented by country, legal team member, and ticket type.

Impact

  • Enabled tracking of legal KPIs
  • Improved prioritization and workload distribution
  • Supported data-driven decision-making

Corporate and Entity Structure

Centralizing corporate structure information to improve traceability and data accuracy

Full-stack development

Description

Designed and developed an internal platform to centralize, manage, and visualize corporate entities, improving data accessibility and accuracy.

Problem

The organization lacked a reliable and structured way to track and analyze a growing number of legal entities. Information was fragmented, difficult to maintain, and not easily searchable or visualizable, creating inefficiencies.

Solution

Developed a centralized system that enables:

  • Bulk import and structured management of entity data
  • Creation and editing of entities within a standardized framework
  • Advanced search and filtering capabilities
  • Focused entity views for specific use cases
  • Exportable visual maps (PNG) for audits, vendors, and reporting

Impact

  • Improved visibility and accessibility of corporate structure
  • Enabled faster UBO identification and preparation
  • Increased accuracy and consistency of entity data

Automation for new Entity Document Structure

Google Apps Script Google Drive

Problem

Manual setup and organization of documentation for new entities led to inconsistencies and inefficiencies.

Solution

Built automated workflows to generate standardized folder structures and documentation systems.

Impact

  • Standardized processes across 80+ entities and 55+ countries
  • Improved document accessibility and organization
  • Reduced onboarding time for new entities

Contract Review Assistant

JavaScript Chrome Extensions

Description

Designed and built a Chrome extension to enhance Jira-based legal workflows by surfacing critical information and standardizing document handling.

Problem

A high volume of Jira tickets required manual review due to recurring issues such as missing information, inconsistent document naming, and conditions requiring legal escalation, leading to slower workflows and increased risk of errors.

Solution

Developed a custom Chrome extension that:

  • Flags issues directly within Jira tickets
  • Highlights missing or critical information
  • Suggests standardized document naming conventions
  • Surfaces relevant counterparty and contextual data

Impact

  • Reduced manual review effort and repetitive checks
  • Improved consistency and quality of legal documentation
  • Accelerated ticket processing and contract preparation workflows
