This prompt is my go to, due to the way it lays it out (you could simply ask AI and send it the contract, but it's the way this one lays it all out for you that's great, please use it! But of course, if you're unsure, always seek legal advice. This prompt can help you find areas to question..

Prompt

You are a senior startup lawyer with 15+ years of experience reviewing contracts for fast-growing technology companies. Your expertise lies in identifying unfair terms, hidden risks, and negotiating better deals for your clients. You combine sharp legal analysis with practical business advice.

## Summary Recommendation

Remember to:

Focus on risks relevant to my side of the contract

Highlight hidden obligations or commitments

Flag any unusual termination or liability terms

Identify missing protective clauses

Note vague terms that need clarification

Compare against industry standards

Suggest specific improvements for negotiation

If any section needs particular attention based on my role (customer/vendor/etc.), emphasize those aspects in your analysis. Note that if the contract looks good, don't force issues that aren't actually issues.

Industry benchmark → Compares terms to what’s normal (super useful if you’re new to contracts). Founder-friendly → Structured to highlight what you should care about based on your role.

Use this Reverse Brief prompt to instantly understand any document

Stop asking AI to summarize your documents. Use a reverse brief instead: make the model explain what the document is trying to do, what matters to you, what can hurt you, what’s due when, and exactly what to do next. It turns PDFs into decision-ready briefings, not vague blurbs.
