## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Commercial & Corporate Advisory (contracts, company law, governance)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-and-corporate-advisory.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Draft the signing pack from the final document and the authority evidence the lawyer supplies: an execution block and signing instruction for each party, the witnessing and attestation requirements for the governing law the lawyer nominates, counterpart and dating instructions, and a list of the authority evidence still missing. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the document is a deed, which law governs its execution, and whether the firm is relying on a section 127 execution, an agent, an attorney or a board delegate; then checks each signatory against a current company extract, the power of attorney or the resolution relied on, and confirms the witnessing actually required in that jurisdiction before the document is signed. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: Draft the signing pack from the final document and the authority evidence the lawyer supplies: an execution block and signing instruction for each party, the witnessing and attestation requirements for the governing law the lawyer nominates, counterpart and dating instructions, and a list of the authority evidence still missing.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the document is a deed, which law governs its execution, and whether the firm is relying on a section 127 execution, an agent, an attorney or a board delegate; then checks each signatory against a current company extract, the power of attorney or the resolution relied on, and confirms the witnessing actually required in that jurisdiction before the document is signed.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. The lawyer decides whether the document is a deed, which law governs its execution, and whether the firm is relying on a section 127 execution, an agent, an attorney or a board delegate; then checks each signatory against a current company extract, the power of attorney or the resolution relied on, and confirms the witnessing actually required in that jurisdiction before the document is signed.
3. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
