Compare alleged facts with the signed material-adverse-change clause
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Quote the signed definition, then list each alleged fact beside the words in that definition it is said to meet, with the source page. Write no breach conclusion and no notice.
- What the lawyer must review
- Whether facts meet a material-adverse-change clause is a reading of the signed contract. No statute opened for this task sets a universal test. Formal Opinion 512 and Model Rule 1.1 require the lawyer to verify the comparison before anyone relies on it. A notice under the contract is written by the lawyer.
