More complex contract management typically involves multiple amendments, renewals, addenda, long-term lifecycle tracking, high-volume repositories, or multi-party contract structures. These services require additional coordination, version control, and monitoring beyond basic record management.

Yes. Law firms may engage a dedicated contract management paralegal who works exclusively or primarily on their matters. This model is particularly effective for firms managing ongoing or high-volume contract portfolios, as it ensures continuity, familiarity with firm-specific workflows, and faster turnaround times.

No. GSB does not charge any separate licensing fees for contract management services. Our support is service-based and does not require firms to purchase proprietary platforms or tools. If a firm uses licensed third-party contract management or document management software, GSB works within the firm’s existing environment or as instructed. Any software-related requirements are discussed upfront to avoid unexpected costs.

Higher-level work may include bulk remediation projects, accelerated turnaround requests, complex lifecycle coordination, or expanded reporting requirements. Such work is scoped separately and priced based on effort, urgency, and resource allocation. GSB follows a no-surprise billing approach. All potential fees, including escalation support or expanded service scope, are disclosed and approved before execution. This ensures financial predictability for law firms.

Yes. While contracts themselves are not medical records, many contain embedded personal, financial, employment, or regulated data. GSB handles such contracts using HIPAA-aligned and data-protection-compliant workflows, where applicable. Our confidentiality controls, access restrictions, and secure handling standards are designed to meet the expectations of U.S. law firms operating under privacy and regulatory obligations.

Contracts are retrieved through indexed repositories and structured file systems, allowing quick access without manual searching. Authorized users can request or retrieve documents efficiently, even for older matters or archived records.

Yes. Contracts can be accessed remotely through secure, role-based login credentials, subject to firm approval. Access is restricted to authorized users and monitored to maintain confidentiality and accountability.

Documents are exchanged using encrypted file transfer systems, secure cloud platforms, or firm-designated repositories. Email transmission is avoided for sensitive documents unless explicitly approved by the firm.

Every upload, modification, access event, or submission is logged with timestamps and confirmation records. Attorneys can review document history, track actions taken, and verify compliance when needed.

Tracking is maintained through audit logs, repository histories, and system-generated confirmations. This ensures transparency, traceability, and accountability across all contract-related actions.

GSB uses standardized naming conventions, indexing rules, version control, backups, and access protocols to ensure contracts remain usable and searchable over time—even as personnel, matters, or systems change.

Post-closure data retention follows firm-defined instructions. Contracts may be archived, returned, or securely deleted based on written authorization. No data is retained without client approval.

GSB provides extended operational coverage aligned with U.S. business hours, despite offshore delivery teams. This allows overnight processing, next-day readiness, and uninterrupted workflow continuity for U.S.-based firms.

Internal teams can access contract data through controlled credentials and role-based permissions, ensuring secure collaboration without compromising data integrity or confidentiality.
