Legal & Compliance Prompts

You are assisting a professional in preparing for a contract review. You are not an attorney: highlight red flags for legal counsel to validate, and do not provide definitive legal advice.

Here is the clause to analyze, extracted from a [type of contract, e.g., Master Service Agreement] between [Party 1] and [Party 2] governed by [State/Country, e.g., Delaware or UK] law: [clause text].

Analysis: explain what the clause means in plain English, who it benefits and why, specific red flags (imbalances, vagueness, missing liability caps, termination rights, ownership of deliverables), precise questions to ask the counterparty, and 1 or 2 balanced redrafts to serve as a negotiation baseline.

End with a list of points that justify consulting a lawyer before signing.

Help me prepare the Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) for [Company Name], which sells [products or services] to [audience: B2B, B2C, or both] via [sales method: online, quotes, subscription].

Create a comprehensive checklist of points to decide, organized by theme: contract formation (order, acceptance), pricing and payment (terms, late fees, collection costs, deposits), delivery or performance (timelines, delays, Force Majeure), liability (caps, exclusions, indemnification), intellectual property if applicable, termination, cancellation rights for consumers (cooling-off periods), data privacy, and governing law/dispute resolution (arbitration vs. court).

For each point: provide options with practical consequences and a question to help me decide. Highlight potentially 'unfair' or unenforceable clauses to avoid with consumers. The final document must be validated by an attorney.

Draft a formal demand letter sent by [Sender] to [Recipient] regarding [subject, e.g., unpaid invoice, non-compliant service, failure to return security deposit]. Facts: [chronology of events with dates]. Basis: [contract, quote, or lease involved and relevant clauses if known]. Demand: [what is required] within [timeframe, e.g., 10 business days].

Structure: factual and dated summary of events (without aggressive language), reminder of obligations, precise demand with a deadline, explicit 'Demand Letter' or 'Notice of Default' heading, announcement of next steps if ignored (legal action, termination) without excessive threats, and a reservation of rights.

Tone: formal and objective, maximum one page. Specify attachments and mention sending via Certified Mail with Return Receipt Requested (US) or Special Delivery (UK). This is a draft to be reviewed if the stakes are high: you do not provide legal advice.

Guide me through each processing activity: purpose, plausible legal basis (to be confirmed), typical retention periods, recipients, and potential international transfers (e.g., US-EU/UK). Present this as a draft Record of Processing Activities (ROPA).

Identify the most common gaps for a structure like ours (missing privacy notices, lack of consent proof, indefinite retention, vendors without DPAs) and rank them by risk priority. End with a 5-step action plan. This assessment does not replace a professional compliance audit.

Compare these two versions of a clause or a [type of contract] under [US/UK] law. Tell me exactly what changed and what it implies for [the party I represent].

Never label a change as 'legally acceptable': identify, explain, and refer to an attorney for the final decision.

You are assisting a professional in reading a contract. You are not an attorney: summarize and highlight, do not give definitive legal advice.

Review: [text], published on [platform] by [author: known client, unknown, suspected competitor]. Facts from my side: [my version with verifiable info].

Analyze the nature of the review: harsh but lawful criticism (free speech protects opinion), demonstrably false factual claims, insulting language, or suspicious review (never a customer, potential unfair competition). Adapt the response to this qualification.

Prepare the gradation: professional and factual public response (draft it: polite, no confidential info, aimed at future readers), platform report based on their rules (draft the argument), letter to the author if identifiable, and evidence preservation (time-stamped screenshots). End with signals to call a lawyer.

Draft a contractual follow-up letter from [Company] to [Counterparty] failing to perform: [breaches: repeated delays, non-compliant deliverables, incomplete services]. Contract: [ref, date, relevant clauses]. History of informal alerts: [exchanges, dates].

Goal: a firmer letter than a simple complaint but not yet a formal Notice of Default, to preserve the relationship while creating a paper trail.

Structure: reminder of the contractual framework with quotes, factual/dated account of breaches referring to prior alerts, concrete consequences for my company, precise demand for compliance with a reasonable deadline, an opening (proposal to meet to resolve issues), and a mention that I reserve further rights without using the term 'Notice of Default'.

Tone: firm, factual, non-threatening. Max one page. Indicate when to switch to a formal notice and lawyer review.

Help me organize a legal and regulatory watch for [Company], [activity], [size]. Impacting topics: [e.g., consumer law, privacy, employment law, industry-specific regs, tax]. Available time: [e.g., 1 hour/month]. Person in charge: [role].

Design a proportionate system: identify reliable sources for each domain (official sites, regulators, industry newsletters), frequency and format of the watch update, information sorting grid (Directly concerns us/Action needed, Medium-term concern, FYI), and decision circuit when a change requires adaptation (who analyzes, validates, implements, with professional support for complex topics).

Format: one-page system overview, monthly watch note template with 3 sections, and a starter list of sources for my domains, to be supplemented by my lawyer/CPA.

Help me build a contract repository for [Company]: an organized registry of all contracts with deadline tracking. Active contracts: [inventory: leases, insurance, vendors, subs, client contracts, loans, with known dates].

Design: registry structure with useful columns (parties, purpose, sign date, term, expiration, auto-renewal Y/N, notice period, termination deadline, annual value, contact, file location), document filing (simple folder tree, naming convention, original storage), alert mechanism (how far in advance to trigger a reminder, considering notice period plus decision time), and review ritual (frequency, questions for expiring contracts: renew, renegotiate, terminate).

Fill the registry with my inventory, marking missing info with [TO BE COMPLETED], and highlight contracts where the termination deadline seems close or passed.

Help a business owner organize delegations within their company. Structure the system; formal high-stakes delegations (e.g., safety, employment) should be drafted by a lawyer.

Context: [Company], [size], [org: sites, depts, managers]. Current situation: [who signs what today, what happens without a written framework]. Trigger: [reason for the initiative].

Establish: a map of acts that commit the company (POs/purchases, quotes/client contracts, hiring/firing, payments/transfers, banking) with who actually does them today; a proposed delegation matrix by role with dollar thresholds and double-validation principles; conditions for effective delegation generally (competent delegate, authority/means provided, written/accepted); and practical management (delegation registry, updates on role changes, informing the bank).

Format: acts x roles x thresholds matrix, list of current anomalies to fix, and delegations requiring a lawyer's drafting.

Help a business owner prepare for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to approve accounts. Organize the preparation generally; specific formalities depend on the entity type and bylaws, to be checked with a CPA or lawyer.

Company: [Entity Type], year-end [date], [number] shareholders, bylaws providing [known specifics: notice periods, quorum, video-conferencing]. Topics for the year: [e.g., account approval, profit allocation, executive comp, related-party transactions].

Build: a timeline from today to the meeting and filing (account prep with CPA, management report if required, notice within bylaw deadlines, meeting, minutes, filing formalities), a list of documents to prepare with owners, a draft agenda with proposed resolution text, and common red flags (transactions between company and directors, legal approval deadlines, signing minutes).

Mark items depending on entity type with [TO BE CHECKED] and list questions for my advisors.
