Know who reviewed each law, and what was done.
Legislation changes quietly, and a missed update can turn into a legal risk before anyone notices. FlexManager's Legal Register module tracks every legal obligation by status — new, pending, impacted, or closed — accounts for region-specific by-laws at each location, and reports on where your compliance position actually stands.
Is your legal register keeping up with the law, or falling behind it? In times of fast-moving change, businesses can’t rely on a static list of legislation. They need a resource that evolves as the law does.
Binder on a shelf
The legislation is filed away, but nobody can say who last read it.
Decisions in inboxes
Whether a change affects you is settled by email, then lost in a thread.
Actions without a trail
Agreed fixes are tracked somewhere else, with no link back to the law behind them.
From new law to action
One register item carries each law from the day it is added to the corrective work that follows it.
Add
REST API creates items and their corrective actions together
Assign
Each law has a named reviewer who is notified on assignment.
Decide
The reviewer marks it no impact, actioned, or closed, with comments, and the form only moves it forward.
Act
Corrective work orders are raised from the item, and the summary report counts what is still open.
Key features & benefits
Legislative Update Tracking
Keep up to date with the latest legislation, and adapt your core documents to a new version as it changes, rather than working from an outdated regulatory baseline.
Status-Based Item Tracking
Track each legal item (no impact, actioned, or evaluated and closed) so you can see exactly where every obligation stands without chasing it down separately.
Compliance Status Reporting
Dashboard tile counts items by category and status, rather than a general assurance with nothing behind it.
Region-Specific By-Law Coverage
Account for region-specific laws and regulations at every location, rather than applying one generic set of rules across sites that may sit under different local by-laws.
Proactive Legal Risk Identification
Identify and assess potential legal risks, so controls and strategies can be put in place before a liability becomes an actual problem for the business.
Centralised Legal Obligation Hub
Bring legal obligation tracking, status, and compliance reporting into one centralised hub, rather than scattering it across separate documents, spreadsheets and inboxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does FlexManager's Legal Register module do?
It tracks legal obligations and legislative changes in one centralised hub, showing the status of each item as new, pending, impacted or closed. It also accounts for region-specific by-laws at every location and reports on where your organisation’s compliance position actually stands, rather than leaving that judgement to guesswork.
How does the module keep up with changes in legislation?
Legal Register keeps up to date with the latest legislation and lets you adapt your core documents to a new version as it changes, so you’re working from a current regulatory baseline rather than one that’s quietly gone out of date.
Can I see the status of a specific legal obligation at a glance?
Yes. Each legal item is tracked as new, pending, impacted or closed in one place, so you can see exactly where a given obligation stands without having to chase the answer down separately across different documents.
Does the module account for laws that vary by location?
Yes. Region-specific laws and regulations are accounted for at every location, rather than applying one generic set of rules across sites that may actually sit under different local by-laws and jurisdictions.
Can I generate reports on our legal compliance status?
Yes. Reports can be generated on legal compliance status, giving stakeholders a clear picture of where the business stands on its legal obligations, rather than a general assurance with no supporting detail behind it at all.
How does Legal Register help manage legal risk?
It helps identify and assess potential legal risks, so controls and strategies can be put in place before a liability becomes an actual problem, rather than being addressed only after an issue has already arisen and escalated.
Why choose FlexManager for legal register management?
FlexManager has been building practical compliance software since 2011, with hands-on HSEQ expertise behind every module we build. FlexManager is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and ISO 45001 certification. For a legal register specifically, that hands-on compliance background is why the module tracks legal status by location, not just as one generic list applied across every site.
