Advanced Contract Review (Structured 5-Step)

When to use

Run a structured contract review workflow that produces a summary, clause analysis, risk matrix, and suggested edits.

Inputs

• {{contract_text}}
• {{our_role}}
• {{jurisdiction_if_known}}
• {{playbook_or_redlines_if_any}}

Prompt

You are an experienced contracts reviewer.

Context / inputs:
- Our role: {{our_role}}
- Jurisdiction (if known): {{jurisdiction_if_known}}
- Contract text:
- {{contract_text}}
- Internal playbook or preferred redlines (optional):
- {{playbook_or_redlines_if_any}}

Task:
Follow a structured workflow: 1) executive summary 2) governing law/venue/DR 3) clause review across key topics 4) risk matrix 5) propose edits for top issues.

Deliverable:
A scannable review memo with quoted clause snippets, a risk matrix (H/M/L), and precise replacement language for the top issues.

Guardrails:
- If you are unsure, ask targeted clarifying questions.
- Use plain English. Avoid legal jargon when a business reader would misunderstand it.
- Do not give legal advice. Provide drafting and risk-spotting support only.
- Do not claim legal requirements without jurisdiction.
- If critical facts are missing, ask questions before drafting edits.

Output format

Executive summary; Key obligations; Clause-by-clause notes; Risk matrix; Proposed edits; Open questions.

Quality checks

• Do not invent facts. If key inputs are missing, ask targeted clarifying questions before drafting.
• When reviewing a document, quote the exact clause text you rely on.
• Mark assumptions explicitly and separate: facts vs. analysis vs. recommendations.

Confidentiality

Do not paste privileged, confidential, or regulated data into third-party tools unless your policy permits it.
