NDA check against counsel's approved positions
Before anyone signs a proposed NDA, counsel gets every clause quoted with its section and set beside the positions counsel has approved: matching, departing or not covered. Any obligation beyond confidentiality sends the whole NDA to counsel. The check never says an NDA is ready to sign.

Research plan for counsel
Before an associate or paralegal starts on a partner's research question, they hold a one-to-two-page plan: the question split into sub-questions, the stated facts against each, the firm's own notes to read first, where to search and with what terms, and the gaps. Leads, not authorities: nothing is named from memory.
