# attorney supervision

A lawyer’s responsibility to direct, review, and remain accountable for work performed with assistance.

Delegation does not remove attorney responsibility. A good operating design states which tasks a support professional may complete, what requires attorney review, and how questions are escalated. The ABA Model Rules require competent representation and reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure. Woven Legal’s published model pairs firms with legal professionals and keeps a Relationship Manager involved throughout an engagement.
