## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [In-House / General Counsel](https://ailawframework.com/practice/in-house-general-counsel.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | Run the counterparty’s name, aliases, dates and places of birth or registration, addresses, directors and known owners against the current downloaded Consolidated List in the team’s validated screening sheet, and produce a match table graded exact, partial or no match with the list entry cited. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer reviews every partial or exact match, decides whether it is a true match, whether the counterparty or an asset is owned or controlled by a designated person, and whether a sanctions permit is needed or the dealing must stop. A clear result is recorded with the list version used. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: Run the counterparty’s name, aliases, dates and places of birth or registration, addresses, directors and known owners against the current downloaded Consolidated List in the team’s validated screening sheet, and produce a match table graded exact, partial or no match with the list entry cited.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer reviews every partial or exact match, decides whether it is a true match, whether the counterparty or an asset is owned or controlled by a designated person, and whether a sanctions permit is needed or the dealing must stop. A clear result is recorded with the list version used.
- 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 Consolidated List file is the current version and record its date.
2. Check the search used aliases and transliterations, not only the legal name.
3. Confirm ownership and control were traced past the contracting entity where the facts required it.

## 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.
