An approver opens an invoice and sees a number and a company name. To say yes, they need the contract, proof the thing arrived, the budget line it comes out of, and a check that nobody paid it last month. Approval software sends them one of those four things.

Our new guide covers how to build an approval matrix from your own invoice data, where segregation of duties lands when your finance team is four people, and which steps should never be auto-approved.

How to design an invoice approval workflow that holds: matrix tiers, segregation of duties, exception routing, and which invoices should never be auto-approved.

A law firm can't drop a client "like a hot potato" to get out of a conflict. That's the actual name of the rule.

It matters most when firms merge, and most partners don't realise the escape route they're counting on is closed.

Lateral hires bring their conflicts with them. What a candidate can disclose, when the screen must be in place, and why a firm merger closes the fix most partners assume they have.

A law firm had an AI policy, an AI committee and two years of warnings. Three of its lawyers still filed fake citations from ChatGPT.

The court let the firm off and sanctioned the lawyers. The same policy that protected the firm made their punishment worse.

We read the full opinion. It shows five specific gaps in that policy, and none of them are about technology.

That was ten years ago. This July, a federal court accepted generative AI for responsiveness calls in discovery and nobody even objected.

New piece: what courts have approved since 2012, what the 2026 decisions require of the platform, and what makes your own process defensible.

Courts have approved machine-assisted review since 2012, and a July 2026 decision extended that to generative AI. What that means for a mid-market litigation practice.
