Every flag sits on the exact clause it refers to, with a plain-English reason and a suggested revision.
Flags billing rates, expense caps, and change-order mechanics that can inflate cost.
Surfaces who owns deliverables and whether acceptance transfers IP or just a licence.
Checks vague SOW language, assumptions, and whether acceptance criteria are defined.
Flags how client information must be handled and survival of confidentiality duties.
Detects personnel-poaching bans and non-compete scope that limit future work.
Highlights termination-for-convenience, notice, and payment-on-termination terms.
AI contract review covers major common-law and civil-law patterns across four regions.
State & federal contract patterns, UCC basics
UK contract law & consumer protections
GDPR & EU directive obligations
PIPL & PRC contract provisions
Synthetic examples showing what a finding looks like on this contract type — the flagged clause, why it is flagged, and a suggested revision. Examples are constructed for illustration, not taken from real engagements.
All work product, including the Consultant’s pre-existing tools and methodologies, is assigned to the Client.
Issue: Sweeping the consultant’s pre-existing IP into the assignment destroys the consultant’s business and often makes delivery impossible.
Suggested edit: Assign only the deliverables created for the engagement; carve out background IP and grant the client a perpetual license to it as embedded in the deliverables.
Consultant shall be liable for all consequential damages arising from the engagement.
Issue: Uncapped consequential-damages exposure is disproportionate to professional-fee engagements. Under the PRC Civil Code (Contract Part, Arts. 584–585), recoverable damages are tied to foreseeable loss.
Suggested edit: Cap liability at the fees paid (or a multiple) and exclude indirect/consequential loss except for confidentiality breaches.
As client, you want deliverables, work-product ownership and expense control. As consultant, you want payment security, scope control and a liability cap.
