When a contract is finalized and ready to sign, /signature-request runs the pre-signature checklist and routes the envelope for execution.

Run the pre-signature checklist and route any contract for e-signature.

  • Pre-signature checklist: final form, exhibits, entity names, signature blocks, internal approvals
  • Signing config: sequential or parallel, internal approvers, CC recipients
  • Connected: DocuSign, Adobe Sign, Dropbox Sign — envelope created with fields and order
  • Standalone: signing instructions for wet signature or manual e-sign
  • Catches the most common error: incorrect legal entity names on signature blocks

Who this is for

What it does

Final MSA from a 6-week negotiation, ready to send

/signature-request runs the 7-item pre-signature checklist, catches that one exhibit is still in track-changes mode, asks you to confirm signing order between your CFO and the counterparty, and creates the DocuSign envelope with fields pre-placed.

NDA template needs to go to a sales prospect today

/signature-request takes your template, populates the counterparty entity name from CRM, sets parallel signing (both sides can sign in any order), and sends the envelope — finished in 5 minutes from inbox to sent.

Amendment with 4 internal approvers before counterparty

/signature-request configures sequential routing: legal review, finance approval, business owner, GC — then counterparty signer last. CC's the original deal team and files the executed copy in iManage on completion.

SOW from a vendor with the wrong legal entity name

/signature-request catches the entity name mismatch ("Acme Inc." vs "Acme Holdings LLC") in the pre-signature check, refuses to send, and flags the issue with the exact correction needed before routing.

How it works

1

Accept the document: file upload, URL to CLM, or reference to a finalized contract

2

Run the 7-item pre-signature checklist

3

Configure signers, signing order, internal approvers, and CC list

4

Route for signature via connected e-sig provider, or generate signing instructions if standalone

5

File the executed copy in CLM or document storage on completion

/signature-request -- E-Signature Routing

Prepare a document for electronic signature — verify completeness, set signing order, and route for execution.

Important: This command assists with legal workflows but does not provide legal advice. Verify documents are in final form before sending for signature.

Workflow

Step 1: Accept the Document

Accept in any format: file upload (PDF, DOCX), URL to cloud storage or CLM, reference ("the Acme MSA we finalized yesterday").

Step 2: Pre-Signature Checklist

## Pre-Signature Checklist
- [ ] Document is in final, agreed form (no open redlines)
- [ ] All exhibits and schedules are attached
- [ ] Correct legal entity names on signature blocks
- [ ] Dates are correct or left blank for execution date
- [ ] Signature blocks match the authorized signers
- [ ] Required internal approvals obtained
- [ ] Document reviewed by appropriate counsel

Step 3: Configure Signing

Gather details: signers (names, emails, titles), signing order (sequential or parallel), internal approval before counterparty, CC recipients.

Step 4: Route for Signature

If e-signature is connected: create envelope/request, set signing fields and order, add initials/date fields, send.

If not connected: generate signing instruction document, format for wet signature or manual e-sign, list all signers.

Tips

  1. Check entity names carefully — most common signing error is incorrect legal entity names
  2. Verify authority — make sure each signer is authorized to bind their organization
  3. Keep a copy — executed copies should be filed in cloud storage or CLM immediately after execution
