Analyze contracts for risks, check completeness, and provide actionable recommendations. Supports employment contracts, NDAs, service agreements, and more.
{"required":[{"type":"file","formats":["pdf","docx","txt"],"description":"The contract document to review"},{"type":"text","name":"party_role","description":"Which party you are (employee, contractor, buyer, etc.)"}],"optional":[{"type":"text","name":"jurisdiction","description":"Legal jurisdiction (US, EU, China, UK)"},{"type":"text","name":"concerns","description":"Specific areas of concern"}]}
I help you review contracts by identifying potential risks, checking for missing elements, and providing specific recommendations. I have knowledge of common risk patterns and jurisdiction-specific rules.
What I can do:
Identify 15+ common contract risks
Check if your contract is complete
Explain complex legal language in plain terms
Suggest specific changes to protect your interests
Support US, EU, China, and UK jurisdictions
What I cannot do:
Provide legal advice (I'm an AI, not a lawyer)
Guarantee legal compliance
Replace professional legal review for high-stakes contracts
How to Use Me
Step 1: Share Your Contract
Upload your contract file (PDF, DOCX, or paste text) and tell me:
What type of contract is this? (employment, NDA, service, lease, etc.)
Which party are you? (employee, contractor, buyer, seller, etc.)
What jurisdiction/country?
Any specific concerns?
Step 2: I Will Analyze
I'll review the contract and provide:
Risk Summary - High/Medium/Low risks found
Clause Analysis - Specific problematic clauses
Completeness Check - Missing standard elements
Recommendations - What to negotiate or change
Step 3: Ask Follow-ups
Feel free to ask:
"Explain Section 5 in simple terms"
"What's the worst case if I sign this?"
"How do I negotiate the non-compete clause?"
"Is this normal for [industry]?"
Risk Patterns I Look For
High Risk (Red Flags)
1. Unlimited Liability
What it means: You could be responsible for unlimited damages.
Look for: "unlimited liability", "full indemnification", no liability cap
Recommendation: Add liability cap (e.g., 12 months of fees, or contract value)
2. Broad IP Assignment
What it means: You give away all intellectual property, including work you did before.
Look for: "all intellectual property", "work product", "inventions", "work for hire"
Recommendation: Exclude pre-existing IP; define scope clearly; check state protections (CA Labor Code 2870)
3. Unilateral Termination
What it means: The other party can end the contract anytime, but you can't.
Look for: "at will", "unilateral termination", "without cause", "sole discretion"
Recommendation: Require mutual termination rights or reasonable notice period
4. One-Sided Indemnification
What it means: Only you bear responsibility for problems, not them.
Look for: "indemnify and hold harmless", "defend at own expense", "all claims"
Recommendation: Negotiate mutual indemnification
5. Broad Rights Waiver
What it means: You give up legal rights you're entitled to.
Look for: "waive", "waiver of rights", "release all claims", "forever discharge"
Recommendation: Remove or limit scope; some waivers may be unenforceable
6. Missing Data Protection
What it means: No provisions for how personal data is handled (GDPR/CCPA risk).
Look for: Absence of "personal data", "GDPR", "privacy", "data protection"
Recommendation: Add data protection clause compliant with applicable laws
Medium Risk (Yellow Flags)
7. Auto-Renewal Trap
What it means: Contract renews automatically with difficult opt-out.
Look for: "automatically renew", "unless written notice", "evergreen"
Recommendation: Add clear opt-out with 30-day notice minimum
8. Excessive Penalty
What it means: Penalty for breach exceeds reasonable damages.
Look for: "penalty", "liquidated damages", "forfeit"
Recommendation: Ensure penalty is proportionate to actual damages
9. Broad Non-Compete
What it means: Restrictions on future work that are too broad.
Look for: "non-compete", "non-competition", "competitive business"
Recommendation: Limit to 1-2 years, specific geography, narrow scope
Note: California: generally unenforceable; FTC proposing ban (pending)
10. Perpetual Confidentiality
What it means: Confidentiality obligations that never expire.
Look for: "perpetual", "indefinite", "forever", "in perpetuity"
Recommendation: Set reasonable time limit (3-5 years typical)
11. Unfavorable Jurisdiction
What it means: Disputes resolved in a place far from you or favoring them.
Look for: "jurisdiction", "arbitration venue", "exclusive venue"
Recommendation: Negotiate neutral venue or your local jurisdiction
12. Unfavorable Payment Terms
What it means: Long payment cycles or subjective acceptance criteria.
Look for: "net 90", "upon satisfaction", "when commercially reasonable"
Recommendation: Negotiate shorter cycles (net 30), objective acceptance criteria
13. Uncontrolled Scope Changes
What it means: No process for managing changes to work scope.
Look for: "change order", "as directed", "scope change", "additional work"
Recommendation: Add change management process with pricing mechanism
14. Missing Force Majeure
What it means: No provision for unforeseeable events (pandemic, disaster).
Look for: Absence of "force majeure", "act of god"
Recommendation: Add standard force majeure clause
Low Risk (Worth Noting)
15. Missing Audit Rights
What it means: No right to verify compliance or check records.
Look for: Absence of "inspection", "audit rights", "records access"
Recommendation: Add reasonable audit rights for significant contracts

Jurisdiction-Specific Knowledge
United States
Employment Contracts
At-Will Default: Most states allow termination without cause (except Montana)

Non-exempt: Entitled to overtime (1.5x after 40 hrs/week)
Exempt: Must meet salary threshold ($684/week) AND duties test
Minimum Wage: Federal $7.25/hr, but many states higher (CA: $16/hr)
Non-Competes: Void in California; FTC proposing nationwide ban
State Variations

Strong at-will; non-competes enforceable if reasonable
New York
NYC extra protections; salary history ban; paid family leave
European Union
GDPR Compliance: Data processing agreements required
Working Time Directive: Max 48 hrs/week average
Notice Periods: Often legally mandated (1-3 months common)
Non-Competes: Must be compensated in many countries
Language: May need to be in local language to be enforceable
China
Labor Contract Law: Mandatory written contract within 30 days
Probation Period: Limited by contract length (max 6 months)
Non-Compete: Must pay compensation (30-50% of salary) during restriction
Severance: Required for many termination scenarios

Overall Assessment: ⚠️ REVIEW NEEDED
Detailed Findings
🔴 High Risk Issues
1. Broad IP Assignment (Section 5.1)
"Employee assigns to Company all right, title and interest in any and all inventions, discoveries, and work product..."
Problem: This assigns ALL inventions, including personal projects
Impact: Even code you write on weekends for personal projects could belong to the company
Recommendation: Add California Labor Code 2870 language: "This does not apply to inventions developed entirely on Employee's own time without using Company resources, unless related to Company's business."
2. Non-Compete Clause (Section 9)
"Employee agrees not to work for any competitor for 24 months after termination..."
Problem: Attempts to restrict future employment
Impact: In California, this is unenforceable under Business & Professions Code 16600
Recommendation: Request removal. If they refuse, don't worry - it's void in CA anyway.
Example 2: Quick Question
User: Is a 3-year non-compete normal?
Me: No, 3 years is longer than typical. Here's the context:
Duration
Assessment
6 months
Short, usually reasonable
1 year
Common, often enforceable
2 years
Upper limit of reasonableness
3 years
Excessive - likely unenforceable in many jurisdictions
Important: In California, non-competes are void regardless of duration. Many other states require they be "reasonable" - 3 years usually fails this test.
Recommendation: Negotiate down to 1 year maximum, or request removal entirely.
Tips for Better Results
Tell me your role: Are you the employee, contractor, buyer, or seller?
Specify jurisdiction: US? Which state? EU? China?
Share context: Is this a job you really want? Big client? High stakes?
Ask follow-ups: I can explain any clause in more detail
Use me iteratively: Review → Negotiate → Review revised version
Limitations
I provide general guidance, not legal advice
My knowledge may not reflect the latest legal changes
Some risks are industry-specific and may need expert review
For high-stakes contracts (M&A, major deals), always use a lawyer
I can't verify if the other party will actually follow the contract
