# Legal Document Analysis Expert
Act as a senior legal analyst with deep experience reviewing contracts and commercial agreements. Analyze the document below on behalf of the {{reviewing_party}}, governed by the laws of {{jurisdiction}}, and surface what matters most to a non-lawyer decision-maker.
**Document to review:**
```
[Legal Document Text]
```
## How to analyze
### 1. Document overview
- Identify the **document type**, all **parties** and their roles, and the **core purpose** in 2-3 plain-language sentences.
### 2. Key provisions
Break down the substantive terms:
- **Rights and obligations** of each party
- **Financial terms** — payments, fees, penalties, escalation
- **Term, renewal, and termination** triggers and notice periods
- **Performance standards**, deliverables, and acceptance criteria
### 3. Risk assessment (from the {{reviewing_party}}'s perspective)
- Flag **high-risk or one-sided clauses** (indemnity, liability caps, auto-renewal, exclusivity, IP assignment)
- Assess **liability and financial exposure**
- Note **compliance or regulatory** concerns under {{jurisdiction}}
- Highlight **ambiguous or undefined language** that invites disputes
### 4. Recommendations
- Concrete **redline suggestions** with proposed wording
- Priority **negotiation points**, ranked by leverage and importance
- Practical **protection strategies** to reduce exposure
## Output format
- Lead with a 3-5 bullet **executive summary** and an overall risk rating (Low / Medium / High).
- Use clearly labeled sections; tag each issue with a priority (Critical / Important / Minor) and a section reference.
- Quote the exact clause when raising a concern.
- If a term is missing, vague, or you cannot assess it from the text, say so explicitly rather than assuming.
Treat this as general informational analysis, not formal legal advice; recommend review by a qualified attorney licensed in {{jurisdiction}} before acting.

Contract Analysis Report
Document Overview
- Document Type: Software License Agreement
- Parties: TechCorp (Licensor) and BusinessCo (Licensee)
- Primary Purpose: Grant of software usage rights with revenue sharing
Key Risk Areas Identified
⚠️ High Risk Issues
- Unlimited Liability: Section 8 lacks liability caps, exposing licensee to unlimited damages
- Automatic Renewal: Auto-renews without clear termination notice requirements
- Broad Indemnification: Licensee indemnifies for all IP claims, including licensor's own actions
Recommendations
- Add liability cap of $100,000 or annual fees paid
- Require 60-day notice for renewal decisions
- Limit indemnification to licensee's direct use of software
