contract-review-squad

Specialist squad for automated legal contract review.

Overview

The contract-review-squad is a complete squad that automates the contract review pipeline, reducing the average time from 3.2 hours to minutes:

1. Extraction — Contract parsing (PDF, DOCX, text) and extraction of clauses, parties, dates, and obligations
2. Risk Analysis — Identification of legal risks, unfavorable terms, and missing protections with scoring
3. Compliance — Verification against corporate playbook with approved/fallback/dealbreaker classification
4. Redlines — Alternative language generation with tracked changes and rationale per modification
5. Report — Executive summary, risk dashboard, and decision matrix for stakeholders

Problem It Solves

Corporate lawyers spend 40-60% of their time reviewing contracts. The average time per contract is 3.2 hours, with risk of missing problematic clauses due to fatigue or volume. This squad automates the structural analysis, allowing lawyers to focus on strategic decisions.

    fallback: "Cap of 2x contract value"
    dealbreaker: "Unlimited indemnification"
  limitation_of_liability:
    approved: "Liability limited to fees from last 12 months"
    fallback: "Liability limited to 2x fees"
    dealbreaker: "Unlimited liability"
  governing_law:
    approved: "Laws of [preferred jurisdiction]"
    fallback: "Laws of [acceptable jurisdiction]"

Each legal department can customize the playbook with their specific corporate positions.
