Legal Service Requests: for Brightflag Customers (Clients)

The Legal Service Requests feature helps to centralize the intake, triage requests, and understand the demand for legal services across the business.

Legal ops can define the types of requests that can be submitted, the required and optional fields for each type of request, and which email domains can submit requests, giving structure to legal's engagements with the business.

Who can use the Legal Service Requests feature?

Anyone in the business can use Brightflag's Legal Service Request feature to submit a request to their legal team.

Admins can set up a whitelist of allowed email domains that should be able to use the portal, and end users will be required to verify their email addresses to access this form.

How are Legal Service Requests submitted?

Anyone in the business can submit a form to their legal team for review. The form also includes the ability to add attachments to support the LSR. The review can then approve or reject the LSR.

The Requester (anyone in the business requesting legal services) will visit the Request Portal using the unique URL of their company. An example of this URL is:

  • US Server (app): https://app.brightflag.com/legal-service-request/public/form/CLIENTNAME

  • EU Server (enterprise): https://enterprise.brightflag.com/legal-service-request/public/form/CLIENTNAME

  • AU Server (aus): https://aus.brightflag.com/legal-service-request/public/form/CLIENTNAME

Client Name: This is the display name of your company. Please reach out to the Brightflag Admin at your company for more information.

**Top Tip** The server to use is the same as the URL that you use to log into Brightflag with. If you are unsure which link to use, reach out to your Brightfalg admin.
