Prompt

Act as a corporate attorney reviewing [your contract type]. Analyze the contract I provide with this framework: 1. Summary — what are the essential terms in plain language? Who is obligated to do what? 2. Red Flags — identify clauses that are unusually one-sided, vague, or potentially harmful. 3. Key Risks — what could go wrong under this agreement? Focus on termination, liability, IP ownership, and indemnification. 4. Missing Provisions — what clauses would you expect to see that are absent? 5. Negotiation Priorities — rank the top 5 clauses I should push back on, with suggested alternative language. 6. Hidden Obligations — what commitments am I making that I might not realize? 7. Plain-Language Summary — rewrite the three most important clauses so a non-lawyer could understand them. Flag anything that requires jurisdiction-specific legal counsel. This analysis is not legal advice — it is an informed starting point.
