Review My Contract and Find Risky Clauses

This prompt frames the AI as a contract attorney and asks for structured analysis rather than a vague summary. By requesting exact quotes, plain-English explanations, and suggested alternatives, you get actionable feedback you can bring to a negotiation. The risk rating at the end helps you prioritize what matters most.

Please review the following contract and act as an experienced contract attorney. Identify any clauses that are unusually one-sided, risky, or that I should be concerned about before signing. For each problematic clause: (1) quote the exact language, (2) explain in plain English what it means, (3) explain why it is risky, and (4) suggest alternative language I could propose. Also flag any missing standard protections I should ask to be added. At the end, give me an overall risk rating (low/medium/high) and a summary of the top 3 things I should negotiate before signing.

โœ“Paste the full contract text directly into the chat - the more context the AI has, the better the analysis

โœ“If the contract is long, ask the AI to focus on specific sections like termination, liability, or IP ownership first

Why this prompt works

Most people write one-line prompts and get generic, surface-level AI responses. This prompt is engineered to produce expert-level output because it bakes in three principles that meaningfully shift response quality:

Role assignment

It tells the AI to act as a specific professional (a legal expert), activating more relevant knowledge and shifting away from generic advice.

Structured output

It specifies the exact response format - numbered steps, comparisons, risk ratings - so you get organized, actionable answers instead of a wall of prose.

Context anchoring

The slots you just filled force the AI to ground every recommendation in your specific situation instead of defaulting to textbook advice.

For sharper output, use this prompt with Legal Copilot - it already has legal expertise built in and ships output in the format you expect.
