Why each option
When a regulatory change requires legal approval, the project manager should formally add the legal representative to the Change Control Board so their approval is integrated into the official change governance process.
Notifying the legal department after the change has already progressed through the process violates the requirement that legal must approve the change before it is enacted.
The CCB is the designated governance body authorized to review, evaluate, and approve or reject project changes, and its composition should include all parties whose approval is required for a given change. Formally inviting the legal representative onto the CCB ensures their approval is captured within the structured change control process rather than through an informal or parallel channel.
Holding a separate approval meeting with legal bypasses the formal change control process and creates an undocumented, unofficial approval pathway outside the CCB.
Notifying legal only in the event of an audit ignores the mandatory approval requirement and exposes the project to regulatory and legal risk.
