Tips for SI & SSI drafters working with processing teams

The purpose of these tips is to reduce queries just before a SI or SSI is due to be submitted, registered and published, when time can be very short.
Where not already in place, it is suggested that legal teams:
give the relevant processing team plenty of notice before a Lawmaker SI/SSI needs to be processed and/or submitted for registration and publishing
resolve a Lawmaker SI/SSI’s document checks as you draft (particularly Mandatory checks) especially before the SI/SSI is passed to the processing team, contacting Lawmaker support if required
clarify to the processing team exactly which document version of a Lawmaker SI/SI should be Made and/or submitted for registration and publishing, ensuring the processing team has permissions to access the correct version
support the processing team with using Lawmaker until the SI/SSI is submitted successfully
create a shared legal advisory/processing team guide on Lawmaker roles and responsibilities, and
do not expect the processing procedures for Word template SI/SSIs to apply, without first checking with the processing team.
