Scenario

Prompt

Please help me review this contract:

1. Read both versions:
   - Original: ~/contracts/vendor-agreement-v1.docx
   - Their revision: ~/contracts/vendor-agreement-v2.docx

2. Also read our standard playbook: ~/legal/commercial-playbook.pdf

3. Create a comparison report that:
   - Lists all changes between versions
   - Flags clauses that deviate from our standard terms
   - Suggests fallback language from our playbook where applicable
   - Highlights any potentially risky clauses (unlimited liability, broad indemnification, etc.)

4. Generate a summary memo for legal review

Expected Result

Tips

  • Having your company's standard clauses playbook ready greatly improves the relevance of Claude's suggestions
  • You can have Claude categorize changes by risk level (high/medium/low)
  • For complex contracts, have Claude generate a summary first to confirm understanding before deep analysis
