Contract Clause Drafting Prompt
Drafting specific contract clauses with multiple versions (aggressive, balanced) for negotiation purposes. Ideal for transactional attorneys building contract playbooks.
✓ Best Practices
- ✓Always specify governing law — enforceability of clauses like non-competes varies dramatically by state
- ✓Request both aggressive and balanced versions to understand negotiation room
- ✓Ask for defined terms to be consistent with the rest of the agreement
- ✓For complex clauses (IP assignment, indemnification), ask for the explanation section separately
- ✓Review against current market standard using resources like Practical Law or legal precedents
⚠ Limitations
- ⚠AI clause drafting should be reviewed against jurisdiction-specific enforceability rules
- ⚠Non-compete enforceability is highly state-specific — always verify
- ⚠Cannot account for specific deal dynamics that might require custom drafting
Expected Output
Two or three versions of the requested clause (client-favorable and market standard), with a commentary section explaining material differences. Clause length varies by type — typically 100-500 words per version.
