One-time · Google Docs + Loom Walkthrough

IS THIS FOR YOU?

Built for attorneys who run on automation.

If you're using tools like Lawmatics, Dubsado, Clio, or MyCase to streamline your practice — this template helps you build the SOPs that make those automations actually work.

You use a CRM or legal practice management tool and want your SOPs to match your automation triggers

You're tired of undocumented workflows that only work because you're manually holding them together

You want to clearly map what's manual vs. what's automated in your trademark process

You're building toward a more systemized, delegation-ready practice

WHAT IS A TRIGGER-READY SOP?

Not just a checklist.

A cause-and-effect system.

A Trigger-Ready SOP is built around what actually causes a task to happen, the trigger. Not just a list of steps, but a clear map of: what kicked this off, who handles it, and what happens next.

This format works whether you're running manual processes, automated workflows, or a mix of both, which is exactly how most trademark practices actually run.

Questions Attorneys Ask...


What exactly is a Trigger-Ready SOP?

A Trigger-Ready SOP is a simplified, action-focused standard operating procedure built around key triggers—what kicks off a task or process. It helps you clearly map out what happens, who does it, and when it’s supposed to happen.

Do I need to have automations set up already to use this?

Not at all. The template works for manual workflows, automated workflows, or a mix of both. Whether you're just starting to build systems or already running Lawmatics or Dubsado, this format fits your practice.

What kind of SOPs can I build with this?

Any recurring trademark process: intake, client follow-up, filing prep, office action routing, deadline tracking, and post-registration maintenance. The included trigger examples give you a starting point for the most common ones.

How is this different from the Caseflow SOPs: Foundation Edition?

The Caseflow SOPs are done-for-you - 12 trademark case SOPs already written and ready to hand off. This template is a framework for building your own SOPs, especially if you want to document processes that connect to your specific automation tools and workflows.

How long will it take to complete an SOP using this template?

Most attorneys complete their first SOP in one focused sitting. The planning checklist helps you think through your process before you start, so you're not stopping and starting as you fill it in.
