| Practice area | [Commercial & Corporate Advisory (contracts, company law, governance)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-and-corporate-advisory.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | Extract the parties, dates, price, term, renewal, termination, liability cap, indemnity, assignment and change-of-control clauses from the signed contract into a table, and flag any field the tool cannot read. |
| What the lawyer must review | Formal Opinion 512 says a lawyer who has tested a tool on a sample of contracts, by reading those contracts and comparing them with the summaries, need not re-read every page of a later set to verify the same kind of summary. Run that test on this form of contract before relying on the table. Read in the signed document any field the tool flags. Model Rule 1.6: do not put the contract into a tool that is not configured to keep client information confidential. |
