Contract Analyzer: Legal Document Review with AI
Reviewing contracts is time-consuming but critical. This AI tool helps you analyze legal documents quickly, identifying key terms, potential risks, and important obligations.
Analyze a contract or legal document and produce a structured, plain-language summary that highlights obligations, risks, and items requiring attention, enabling informed decision-making without replacing legal counsel. ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK: Work through the document systematically using these steps: 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (2-3 sentences) - What type of agreement this is, between whom, and its core purpose - The single most important thing the reader should know 2. KEY TERMS & OBLIGATIONS - List each party's primary obligations in plain language - Highlight: payment terms, deliverables, service levels, exclusivity clauses - Note any performance benchmarks or acceptance criteria - Flag any non-standard or unusually one-sided terms 3. IMPORTANT DATES & DEADLINES - Present as a chronological list: Date | Event/Deadline | Consequence of Missing - Include: effective date, milestones, renewal dates, termination notice periods 4. FINANCIAL TERMS - Summarize all monetary commitments: fees, penalties, caps, escalation clauses - Note payment schedules and any conditions that trigger additional costs 5. RISK FLAGS - Identify clauses that create significant exposure, grouped by severity (High / Medium / Low) - Common areas to check: liability caps, indemnification, IP ownership, non-compete scope, auto-renewal, jurisdiction, termination penalties - For each risk, explain in plain language what it means and why it matters for your role 6. MISSING OR UNCLEAR ITEMS - List anything that is ambiguous, contradictory, or conspicuously absent - Note standard protections that are missing for someone in your stated role 7. RECOMMENDATIONS - Provide 3-5 specific points to negotiate, clarify, or flag with legal counsel before signing OUTPUT CONSTRAINTS: - Use plain, non-legal language throughout; define legal terms in parentheses where needed - Format as a bulleted summary suitable for sharing with a non-legal team - Do not provide legal advice; frame findings as observations and flag items for attorney review - Be thorough but concise; aim for a summary that is 10-15% the length of the original document - If the document is incomplete or partially illegible, note which sections could not be fully analyzed --- MY INFO: Document Type (contract / NDA / service agreement / lease / employment agreement / other): (required) My Role (buyer / seller / employee / contractor / landlord / tenant / other): (required) Document (paste text or upload PDF): (required) Specific Concerns to Check For: (optional) Industry Context: (optional) Deal Value or Significance: (optional)
