## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Commercial & Corporate Advisory (contracts, company law, governance)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-and-corporate-advisory.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Build a table of the liability cap, the excluded kinds of loss, and the indemnity in each master services agreement, and mark where those clauses differ. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide which cap, if any, to accept. Formal Opinion 512 requires you to review a comparison you rely on. The table is not a statement of the governing state's law on limitation of liability or on an indemnity. Model Rule 1.6: do not put the agreements into a public tool. |
