Why Legal Teams Need Jira Service Management (JSM)

Legal work is inherently request-driven. Common legal service requests include:

  • Contract review and drafting
  • NDA preparation and management
  • Legal opinions and internal consultations
  • Compliance and policy approvals
  • Claims, disputes, and investigations
  • Regulatory and audit information requests

Each legal request demands:

  • A standardized intake process
  • Controlled access to confidential legal data
  • Clear ownership and approval workflows
  • Defined deadlines and response SLAs
  • A complete, auditable history for compliance

Jira Service Management for legal teams delivers all of this—right out of the box. JSM’s flexible workflows and robust permissions ensure that legal operations remain secure, efficient, and fully traceable, while adapting to your team’s real-world processes.
