Responding to a Legislative Change

In-House Counsel · Public Sector

---

The Problem

A new legislative amendment or regulation has been published. Your organization needs to understand what changed, assess how it affects existing processes and documents, and update internal policies or procedures accordingly. The CEO, department head, or the public expects a prompt assessment.

The Steps

1. Open Chat and ask about the amendment — what changed, which provisions are affected, and when it takes effect
2. Praktik searches the current legislation from official sources (updated daily from Slov-Lex) and shows you the specific changes with references
3. Upload your existing internal policy or procedure document to Chat and ask: “How does this document need to change in light of the new amendment?”
4. Praktik cross-references your document against the updated legislation and identifies gaps or conflicts
5. Open the document in Word with the Word Plugin and revise affected sections using Drafting Assistance and Legal Research to verify each change
6. If you have a portfolio of affected documents, use Due Diligence to identify which ones need attention (see Auditing a Document Portfolio)

The Outcome

A clear impact assessment of the legislative change, plus updated internal documents aligned with the new requirements — with every change traceable to a specific legislative provision.

How Different Roles Use This
