Review and redline counterparty paper against the playbook
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Mark counterparty draft clauses that depart from the playbook positions the lawyer supplies, and list each departure with the playbook position beside it.
- What the lawyer must review
- Accept, reject or rewrite every mark before the draft goes back. A playbook position is not legal advice until you confirm it against the contract's governing law. Formal Opinion 512 requires independent review of generated output you rely on. Keep the counterparty draft out of a public tool (Model Rule 1.6).
