LEGAL & COMPLIANCE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find records that may refer to the same contact without merging a client’s legal history by guess.

Prepare potential contact duplicates with matching evidence for an authorized legal staff member to assess. Legal contact records are confidential and a false merge can misdirect privileged communications or matter history. Restrict access, verify identity using appropriate records, preserve original entries and audit history, honor dismissal and correction requests, and require authorized legal staff to approve every merge or notice. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify material details, and require an accountable person to approve external or consequential action.
