The Risk Register

The Risk Register turns contract risk from a gut feeling into a tracked list — which agreements carry exposure, why, and what’s being done about it.

When to use

Use it during and after review to record risky clauses, and later to see which risks are still open across all contracts.

contract_management:view to read the register; adding or changing risks needs review rights.
The toggle legal.risk_blocks_activation (off by default) prevents a standalone contract from being activated while a severe risk is open.

Go to Contract Management → Risk Register (/contracts/risk-register) to see contracts with elevated risk, including clauses the AI flagged.

For each risk, record its severity and assign an owner to mitigate it. Others can follow a risk as watchers.

Update the risk as it’s negotiated out, accepted, or resolved, keeping a clear audit trail. Close it when done.

Close risks once handled; open severe risks can block activation when the toggle is on.
The Open Risks report (/contracts/reports/risks) gives a portfolio-wide view.
The AI suggests; people decide on severity and mitigation.
