Contract Review

Read contracts critically and flag what matters — the risks you're taking, the protections you're missing, and the clauses worth negotiating.

Disclaimer: This skill is a drafting and analysis aid. For contracts with material legal or financial consequences, engage a licensed attorney.

When to Use

"Review this contract from my perspective as [role]"
"What are the risks in this agreement?"
"What clauses should I push back on?"
"Is anything missing from this contract?"
"Explain what this clause actually means"

What to Give Me

The contract text (paste it in full)
Your role: buyer / seller / service provider / client / employer / employee / licensor / licensee
Your concern: red flags only, full review, negotiation points, or plain-language explanation

What I Analyze

High-Risk Clauses

Unlimited liability — is your exposure capped?
Indemnification — are you indemnifying the other party for their own negligence?
IP ownership — do you retain rights to your work product?
Exclusivity — does this lock you out of other clients/vendors?
Auto-renewal with short notice window — can you get trapped?
Unilateral change rights — can they change terms without your consent?
Termination for convenience — who can exit and on what terms?
Non-compete / non-solicitation scope — is it reasonable in time, geography, activity?

Missing Protections

Limitation of liability (yours)
Payment terms and late payment penalties
Dispute resolution process (arbitration vs. litigation, jurisdiction)
Change order / scope creep provisions
Confidentiality obligations on both sides
Warranties and representations you should get
Exit rights and what happens on termination

Ambiguous Language

Clauses that could be read two ways
Undefined terms used in operative clauses
"Reasonable efforts" vs. "best efforts" vs. "commercially reasonable efforts"
Timelines without a starting reference point
