How do I follow up with lawyers without sounding pushy?

Be useful and brief. Reference the matter type or operational pain, not a hype line. Give them an easy decline.

How do I follow up with procurement without getting frozen out?

Match their process. Send the documents they asked for, labeled clearly. Ask what is still missing. Don't try to charm your way past a required form.
