FAQ

Common questions about Contract Review Counsel and how to use it effectively.

01

Can this actually replace a lawyer, or is it just a first-pass screening tool?

It is a first-pass screening tool, period. It can identify clauses that commonly contain risk — indemnification, limitation of liability, non-compete, IP assignment, automatic renewal, arbitration — and explain in plain English what each clause means and why it might be problematic. But it cannot assess how those clauses interact with your specific business situation, your jurisdiction's case law, or your negotiating leverage. Use it to understand what you're signing and flag issues for a human lawyer, not to replace the lawyer.

02

What types of contracts can it review?

It handles commercial agreements broadly: vendor contracts, service agreements, SaaS terms, NDAs, employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, lease agreements, licensing deals, and partnership/joint venture agreements. Specialized contracts — M&A purchase agreements, complex securities filings, patent licenses — are beyond its useful scope. For consumer contracts (apartment leases, car loans, gym memberships), it does a solid job of flagging the gotcha clauses buried in the boilerplate.

03

How does it identify hidden risks — what should I look for in its analysis?

It highlights several categories of risk that non-lawyers routinely miss: one-sided indemnification (you indemnify them, they don't indemnify you), unlimited liability carve-outs (exceptions to the liability cap that could expose you to uncapped damages), auto-renewal traps with short opt-out windows, assignment clauses that let the other party transfer the contract without your consent, and governing law/venue clauses that would force you to litigate in an inconvenient jurisdiction. Each flag includes an explanation of what could go wrong in practical terms, not just legal jargon.

04

Does it suggest alternative language, or just flag problems?

It suggests alternative language for the most common problematic clauses — mutual indemnification, reciprocal liability caps, narrowed non-compete scope, modified IP ownership terms — with explanations of how the revised language balances both parties' interests. The suggested language is a starting point for negotiation, not final contract text. It's useful for understanding what 'market standard' looks like so you know whether the clause you're looking at is aggressive or reasonable.

05

How jurisdiction-aware is it — does it know the difference between California and Texas contract law?

It has general knowledge of major jurisdictional differences: California's strong employee mobility and non-compete restrictions, Delaware's corporate law nuances, New York's commercial contract interpretation conventions, and civil-law vs. common-law distinctions in international contracts. But its jurisdictional analysis is broad-strokes — it won't know a specific Ninth Circuit ruling from last month that changes the enforceability of a particular clause. For jurisdiction-specific legal questions, a local lawyer is still essential.

06

Can it review a contract I'm being asked to sign right now, in real time?

Yes, and this is arguably its most practical use case. Paste the contract (or the sections you're unsure about) and it gives you a clause-by-clause summary in minutes. The speed is genuinely useful — you can review a 30-page vendor agreement while the other party is waiting for your signature, and you'll know which five clauses to push back on. Just remember that speed comes with the caveat that this is a screening, not a comprehensive legal review.

07

Does it maintain attorney-client privilege?

No. Communications with this GPT are not privileged, and the content you share is subject to OpenAI's data usage policies. If you paste a contract into ChatGPT, you are potentially sharing confidential business terms with a third party. For sensitive contracts — M&A deals, settlement agreements, litigation-related documents — do not use this (or any consumer AI tool). The confidentiality risk outweighs the analytical benefit for truly sensitive matters.

08

What's the most dangerous thing someone might do with this tool?

Accept its analysis as definitive and skip the human lawyer entirely. The GPT will miss issues, misinterpret clauses, fail to spot jurisdiction-specific traps, and sometimes confidently assert incorrect legal conclusions. If you're signing a contract worth real money, real liability, or real business relationships, the cost of a human lawyer to review it is a rounding error compared to what a bad contract can cost you. Use this to be informed and prepared when you talk to your lawyer, not to avoid talking to your lawyer.
