/signature-request -- E-Signature Routing

Prepare a document for electronic signature — verify completeness, set signing order, and route for execution.

Important: This command assists with legal workflows but does not provide legal advice. Verify documents are in final form before sending for signature.

Workflow

Step 1: Accept the Document

Accept the document in any format:

• File upload: PDF, DOCX
• URL: Link to a document in cloud storage or CLM
• Reference: "The Acme Corp MSA we finalized yesterday"

Step 2: Pre-Signature Checklist

## Pre-Signature Checklist

- [ ] Document is in final, agreed form (no open redlines)
- [ ] All exhibits and schedules are attached
- [ ] Correct legal entity names on signature blocks
- [ ] Dates are correct or left blank for execution date
- [ ] Signature blocks match the authorized signers
- [ ] Any required internal approvals have been obtained
- [ ] Document has been reviewed by appropriate counsel

Step 3: Configure Signing

• Signers: Who needs to sign? (names, emails, titles)
• Signing order: Sequential or parallel?
• Internal approval: Does anyone need to approve before the counterparty signs?
• CC recipients: Who should receive a copy of the executed document?

Step 4: Route for Signature

If e-signature is connected: Create the signature envelope/request, set signing fields and order, send. If not connected: Generate a signing instruction document with all signer details.

2. Verify authority — Make sure each signer is authorized to bind their organization.
3. Keep a copy — Executed copies should be filed immediately after execution.
