Use the lawyer's request list
Record the matter reference, requested document category and period supplied by the lawyer. Keep the legal reason and any deadline in the lawyer's approved record. Do not invent a requirement or infer that a record is relevant merely because it was received.
Reconcile partial receipts
Link each batch to the request and identify the period or items it is recorded to cover. A partial response should not close the whole request. If coverage is uncertain, flag the question for staff to check against the original documents.
Prepare the review packet
Index the checked records and outstanding requests for the lawyer, preserving versions and source references. The assistant should not assess the strength or value of the claim. Receipt of documents and legal review are separate stages.
