Escalation
Legal Escalation Tracker
A tracking and routing tool that captures legal escalations as they arise across the business — from inbound incident reports to regulator inquiries and contract disputes — and routes each one to the right owner with a scoped severity, response deadline, and audit trail so nothing material slips through the cracks.
How it works
A single path for issues that need legal attention, from intake through severity assessment, routing, and closure — so nothing sits in an inbox and every decision has an owner and a date.
It also produces the record you need when someone later asks how a decision was made.
What it covers
02
Severity & SLA routing
Classifies each escalation by legal severity and jurisdiction, assigns a response deadline, and routes it to the responsible service area and attorney.
03
Matter linkage
Connects each escalation to an open matter or conflict check so the team sees related history and prior advice before responding.
04
Deadline & disclosure tracking
Tracks regulatory response windows, preservation obligations, and disclosure deadlines, and surfaces them before they lapse.
05
Stakeholder visibility
Gives business owners a real-time view of open escalations, ownership, and status without exposing privileged content.
06
Audit-ready record
Keeps a timestamped log of every escalation, decision, and communication so the firm can show regulators and boards that oversight was in place.
What it needs from you
The inputs that make the output useful. Missing any of these usually shows up as a vague result.
- Issue intake
- What happened, who reported it, and when.
- Severity criteria
- Your definitions of low, medium, high, and critical.
- Routing matrix
- Which role owns which category at which severity.
- SLA targets
- Expected response and resolution times per tier.
