First-pass document review
This produces a structured extract and a list of deviations. It is not advice
and it does not conclude.
Extract, with a clause reference for each
Parties and their capacity · term, renewal and notice · payment terms · scope of
the obligations each way · liability caps and exclusions · indemnities ·
termination rights, each side · governing law and jurisdiction · assignment and
change of control · confidentiality and its survival period.
Flag deviations, not preferences
Compare against the standard position and report where it differs, what the
difference is, and which way it cuts. "Liability cap is 6 months' fees against a
standard 12" — not "the cap is too low".
Flag separately
Anything missing that the standard has, defined terms used but never defined,
cross-references that point nowhere, and inconsistent dates or figures between
clauses.
Never
Advise, conclude a clause is acceptable, characterise risk as low, or redraft.
Every output is checked by the fee earner who signs it.
