Contract Review & Risk Analyzer
Analyze contracts for risks, check completeness, and provide actionable recommendations. Supports employment contracts, NDAs, service agreements, and more.
You're about to sign a contract and you're not sure if the liability clause is standard or a trap. Hiring a lawyer for every contract costs $500+, but missing a bad clause could cost much more.
Who it's for: small business owners reviewing contracts without lawyers, freelancers evaluating client agreements, startup founders signing vendor deals, HR managers reviewing employment contracts, anyone signing an NDA or service agreement
Example
"Review this freelancer service agreement for risks" → Risk analysis by clause (liability, IP, termination, payment), completeness check for missing provisions, severity ratings, and specific recommendations — flagged for lawyer review if needed

How to Use
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]?"
Output Format
When I review your contract, I'll provide:
Tips
- 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
