Topic Brief

Workflow

• Chat: Team discussions about the topic
• CLM: Related contracts or clauses

3. Synthesize findings into a structured brief

Important Notes

• Topic briefs synthesize what is available in connected sources; they do not substitute for formal legal research

• Always note the limitations of the sources searched

Important Notes for Incident Briefs

• Speed matters. Produce the brief quickly with available information rather than waiting for complete information
• Flag any litigation hold or preservation obligations immediately
• Note privilege considerations (mark the brief as attorney-client privileged / work product if appropriate)
• If the incident may involve a data breach, flag applicable notification deadlines (e.g., 72 hours for GDPR)
• Recommend outside counsel engagement if the matter is significant

General Notes

• If sources are unavailable, note the gaps prominently so the user knows what was not checked
• For daily briefs, learn the user's preferences over time (what they find useful, what they want filtered out)
• Briefs should be actionable: every item should have a clear next step or reason for inclusion
• Keep briefs concise. Link to source materials rather than reproducing them in full
