counselos builds Mike a European in-house legal desk

Five new review workflows turn the codebase into something an EU legal team can actually run on day one.

counselos has added a set of purpose-built review tasks aimed squarely at the work that lands on an in-house lawyer's desk in Europe. The headline one checks an NDA against a bundled house playbook and grades every deviation as block, negotiate, or accept, then hands back a structured memo with suggested redlines and a sign-off call. Another runs a data-processing agreement through a GDPR Article 28 checklist, complete with a transfer-mechanism table and a verdict. The rest cover triaging incoming contracts by workload and routing them to the right lawyer, plus checks for intragroup agreements.

The prompts are tightly specified - fixed section names, fixed table shapes - so the output drops straight into a review screen rather than arriving as freeform prose. Mike's original finance workflows stay in place alongside the new ones, for eight in total.

So what In-house and legal-ops leads in Europe get a working starting point for NDA and DPA review without building the prompts themselves.
