Document Review

Introduction

• A document outlines one or more papers disclosing facts or information containing the consent of the executor through signature or seal or both, as applicable, of the document, or an agreement among two or more parties that has been signed by mutual consent and, in all other respects, holds legal validity and can be relied upon in a court of law. It can be any written, printed, or electronic material that records information relevant to a legal matter. Documents in law serve various functions and are essential in the administration of justice.
• Documents serve as legal instruments that establish authority, legal status, identity, ownership, or other types of evidence for an obligation. They can be used as evidence to assert rights, obligations, and duties. Agreements, Contracts, Deeds, Wills, Leases, MOUs, Affidavits, Written Content, etc., are the most common legal documents. 

Need for Document Review 

• Three Types of Review: Document reviews are done in three ways, first, during preparation of the document to ensure legal soundness and security so that the document can be preperaed correctly before making it binding with consent through signature(s); second, during litigation to analyze the authenticity and sustainability of the document in the court, so the suits and the claims are adequately prepared and ongoing legal proceedings are effectively managed; and thrird, for due deligence, before mergers and acquisations or any other business transactions. 
  • Execution: In preparation of a document, when a party or parties mutually create a document for an agreement or a contract or a legal purpose, they also need to cover the "indemnity" and carefully consider the authenticity and legal sustainability of the document, and sometimes, to avoid any future consequences of a legally weak document, a review is required to ensure that document is covering all necessary points and legal clauses to prevent future disputes.  
  • Litigation: Document review is an essential stage in the legal and litigation process. It is where lawyers analyze documents and gather vital information to prepare effective pleadings that support the claims or allegations before the court. In an ongoing case, the proceedings can be dealt with to ensure effective presentations. Hence, whether suits or claims have been initiated or fresh filings are required, document review is an essential step in the litigation phase. 
  • Due Diligence: Document review is also essential for diligence assessments in mergers and acquisitions, regulatory investigations, internal investigations, and responding to subpoenas and third-party requests.
