Draft a standardized operating procedure (SOP) for [type of legal service] (e.g., litigation management, compliance audit, contract drafting) within a law firm specializing in [area of law] (e.g., business law, tax law, intellectual property). The SOP must target [employee profile] (e.g., junior lawyer, paralegal, legal assistant) and take into account sector-specific regulatory constraints (professional secrecy, GDPR, codes of ethics, procedural deadlines).
Mandatory structure:
- Objective: describe the scope and expected outcome of the procedure.
- Prerequisites: documents, IT access, necessary authorizations (e.g., confidential defense clearance, secure connection to RPVA).
- Detailed steps: list the actions in chronological order, with for each step the responsible person, tools used (e.g., practice management software, legal database, CRM) and quality control checkpoints (partner review, compliance validation).
- Exception handling: special cases (emergencies, conflicts of interest, refusal to sign) and escalation procedure.
- Appendices: document templates, checklists, references to applicable legal texts.
The tone must be professional, precise, and compliant with ISO 9001 (or equivalent) standards. Include key performance indicators (KPIs) such as average processing time, rejection rate, client satisfaction. Provide a concrete example adapted to [type of firm] (e.g., international firm, M&A boutique, solo practice).
Conclude with a final validation checklist before implementation.

Why this prompt works
How to use this prompt: Copy the text above into your AI interface (ChatGPT, Claude, or others). Replace the variables in [BRACKETS] with the values corresponding to your firm. For example, for a procedure on litigation management in business law aimed at a junior lawyer in an international firm, replace [type of legal service] with "litigation management", [area of law] with "business law", [employee profile] with "junior lawyer", and [type of firm] with "international firm". Advanced customization: Adjust the KPIs and checkpoints according to your firm's objectives. For a tax firm, emphasize tax compliance and filing deadlines. For an IP firm, include prior art search and patent filing steps. You can also ask the AI to add references to specific software such as Lefebvre Dalloz or Juriste Data. Expected result: The AI will generate a structured and operational SOP ready to use. Review it with your compliance team and adapt the appendices. Use the final checklist to validate distribution. This prompt saves you time while respecting professional standards in the legal sector.

Astuce : imposez un verbe d'action à l'infinitif au début de chaque étape (ex. « Vérifier l'habilitation RPVA ») et une colonne « preuve/registre » — c'est ce que l'auditeur ISO 9001 (§7.5.2) contrôle. Ajoutez version et date de révision en pied de SOP : sans traçabilité, la procédure n'est pas opposable en cas de litige.
