Contract review · Your playbook
Contract review against your positions, not generic ones.
Every clause read, scored against the firm's own playbook, and returned as a redline in Word that a partner can accept or reject line by line.
What comes back on a contract
Not a summary of the agreement. The markup you were going to produce.
Clause-by-clause review
Every clause separated, typed and scored — accept, negotiate or reject — against the firm's recorded positions.
What is missing
The clauses that should be there and are not. Absence is harder to spot than bad drafting and often costs more.
Preferred and fallback wording
The language the firm would rather see, and the language it will live with. Both, so the negotiation has somewhere to go.
A real tracked-changes redline
Exported as Word with tracked changes, not a list of suggestions to retype.
What stays true on every matter
These do not change by practice area, firm size, or the question asked.
Run it against a contract you have already marked up.
Compare its redline with yours. Where it agrees you save the hour; where it differs, that is the conversation worth having.

The answers below are specific to this page’s subject.
Where does the playbook come from?
You can set positions explicitly, or derive them from the firm's own executed agreements — reading what the firm has actually accepted rather than what it says it accepts.
Does it handle contracts we did not draft?
That is the main case. Third-party paper is where clause-by-clause review against your own positions earns its time.
Can it review a whole portfolio?
Yes. The same review runs across every contract on file, with the roll-up first — which clause types are off-market across the firm's paper, then which agreements carry them.
Is the redline actually editable?
Yes, standard Word tracked changes. Nobody retypes anything.
