OUR MISSION
Achieving “Zero-Paper” Automation in Legal Order Processing

OVERVIEW What is the Legal Order Roundtable?

The Legal Order Roundtable is an open industry forum that facilitates research and discussion on the following topics:

  • Setting standards that support electronic levy, subpoena, and other legal order exchange
  • Driving adoption by encouraging industry input and collaboration

BACKGROUND From Manual Processing to Automation

The financial industry is approaching a critical inflection point. For decades, legal order processing—handling levies, subpoenas, garnishments, and warrants—has remained one of the last holdouts of paper-driven, manual workflows.

Our forum’s vision is clear: to define the standards and infrastructure necessary to achieve 100% Zero-Paper Automation. This transformation will move the industry from reactive, manual risk management to proactive, automated compliance.
