What Needs Urgent Attention in This FileReportStandardLegal Ops / Billing
I act for [the party relying on this document]. Read the attached file and tell me what needs urgent attention. Assume I have ten minutes. Return: 1. The three things that matter most, each in one sentence, ordered by how soon they bite. 2. Every date in the document that creates a deadline, an expiry, a notice period or a limitation cut-off: as a table of date, what happens on that date, and who has to act. Flag any that has already passed. 3. Anything that is missing, unsigned, undated, blank or internally inconsistent. 4. Anything that commits my client to money, an indemnity, an exclusivity or an automatic renewal. 5. One line: if I do nothing this week, what is the worst thing that happens. Mandatory rules: lead with the deadlines. A risk with a date beats a risk without one. Do not pad the list to reach three items; if only one thing is urgent, say only one thing is urgent. Give the page or clause reference for every point so I can check it myself. Do not state a date, a figure or an obligation that is not actually in the document; if something is unclear or missing, say so rather than filling the gap.
Translate, Summarise and Give the BackgroundMemoStandardCorporate / Commercial
You are translating and briefing this document for a lawyer who will rely on your summary without re-reading the original line by line. Translate the attached document into [target language] and summarise it, giving me the complete background. Produce four sections: 1. A faithful translation. Keep legal terms of art in the source language in brackets after the translation the first time each appears. A term of art that is translated loosely stops being the same term. 2. A summary in [number] bullet points: what the document is, who the parties are, what it obliges or decides, and the key dates. 3. Background: what kind of document this is in its own legal system, where it sits in a procedure or a transaction, and what usually comes before and after it. 4. What I should notice: anything unusual, any blank or unsigned element, any internal inconsistency, and any figure or date that does not reconcile with the rest of the document. Mandatory rules: do not smooth over an unclear passage. Mark it [unclear in the original] and translate it as literally as you can. Do not add a legal conclusion the document does not contain, and do not state what a clause means under a specific law unless the document itself says which law governs. If handwriting, a stamp or a signature block is illegible, say which part and do not guess at it.
Brief Me on a Clause in a Stored FileMemoStarterLegal Ops / Billing
Go into the matter file for [client or matter name] and brief me on what [clause or section reference] says. Give me: 1. The exact wording of that clause, quoted, with the document name and date it comes from. So I know which version you read. If there is more than one version of that document in the file, say so and tell me which one you used and why. 2. What it means in plain terms, in three lines. 3. What it obliges my client to do, and by when. 4. How it interacts with any other clause in the same document that qualifies it, quoted and identified by its own clause number. A clause read alone is usually read wrongly. 5. Anything in the rest of the file that contradicts it: a side letter, an amendment, an email trail, a later agreement. If you cannot find the file, the document or that clause reference, say exactly which of the three failed rather than answering from a similar document. Do not summarise a clause you have not located, and do not paraphrase a qualifying clause instead of quoting it.
Case Assessment MemoMemoAdvancedDisputes / Litigation
You act for [Client] in a dispute described as [describe dispute], governed by [jurisdiction] law. Facts: the background to the dispute, the parties involved, and the procedural stage reached so far. Prepare a case assessment memo covering: 1. A summary of the facts as understood so far. 2. The legal issues in dispute, with the provision or cause of action each one turns on. 3. The strengths and weaknesses of [Client]'s position, argument by argument. 4. The range of likely outcomes and an estimate of damages, with the assumptions behind the estimate stated. 5. Strategic recommendations, including any step that should be taken before a limitation period or procedural deadline runs. Mandatory rules: cite the specific provision, precedent, or authority behind each legal issue rather than stating a conclusion unsupported. Flag any assumption behind the damages estimate that has not been confirmed, and mark any deadline you cannot verify under [jurisdiction] law for the client's local counsel to check. This memo is an analysis aid for a qualified practitioner, not legal advice to be relied on directly by the client.
Due Diligence ReportReportExpertCorporate / M&A
You are preparing a legal due diligence report on [Target Company] for [Client]. Facts: the documents and disclosures reviewed, the proposed deal structure, and any areas [Client] has asked you to prioritize. Deliverables: 1. An executive summary of key findings, written for a reader who has not seen the underlying documents. 2. Material risks identified, grouped by category: corporate, commercial, employment, litigation, regulatory, IP, or other. 3. Red flags requiring attention before signing, each with the specific document or clause it comes from. 4. A risk rating, high, medium, or low, for each finding, with the reasoning in one or two lines. 5. Recommended mitigation measures: what can be fixed pre-completion, and what should instead become a warranty, indemnity, or price adjustment. 6. Suggested deal protections, mapped to the specific risks they address. Mandatory rules: quote or cite the specific clause, document, or disclosure a finding relies on, do not summarise a risk from memory of the document type in general. Flag anything you could not verify from the materials provided rather than stating it as fact. This report is a drafting aid for [Client]'s legal team to review, not a substitute for a qualified lawyer's sign-off.
Legal Department Annual ReportReportAdvancedLegal Ops / Billing
Act as the general counsel's office at [Company's] legal department, preparing its annual report template. Facts: the reporting period [year], and the audience for the report [board / executive committee / department]. Deliverables: 1. Matter statistics: volume, type, and outcome for the period. 2. Spend analysis: internal versus outside counsel spend, and against budget. 3. Significant matters, summarized without privileged detail. 4. Risk management activities undertaken during the period. 5. Operational improvements made to the department's processes. 6. Diversity metrics for the department and its outside counsel panel. 7. Strategic priorities for the coming year. Mandatory rules: mark any figure not supplied as [to be confirmed] rather than estimating it, and flag any matter summary that risks disclosing privileged or confidential detail.
Contract Summary for ExecutivesMemoStandardCorporate / Commercial
Act as the lawyer preparing this summary for a busy executive. Summarize the following contract: [PASTE CONTRACT]. Create a one page briefing with these sections: - Purpose of the agreement - Key obligations for each party - Financial commitments - Legal risks - Termination conditions Write the summary in simple language so a non lawyer can understand the agreement in under three minutes. Attribute every obligation, figure, and termination trigger to the actual clause it comes from, and flag anything the contract leaves ambiguous rather than resolving it for the reader.
Complex Law → Simple SummaryMemoStandardCorporate / Commercial
Act as counsel preparing a client-facing summary. Summarize the following legal or tax provision in simple language: [PASTE PROVISION]. Include: the key points, the compliance requirements it creates, and the practical implications for the client. Deliver a short client-ready note, one paragraph per item above. Quote the actual provision text behind each point rather than paraphrasing it, and flag anything in the provision that is ambiguous or that you cannot verify against the source text.
Convert Complex Document into Key PointsReportStandardCorporate / Commercial
Act as counsel reviewing this document for a client. Analyze the following document: [PASTE DOCUMENT]. Extract the key legal issues, the risks, and the important points, in bullet format grouped under those three headings. Quote the specific clause or passage behind each issue you raise, and flag anything you cannot verify from the text itself rather than inferring it.
Document-Set Summary & Contradiction FinderMemoExpertFamily Law
I act for the [petitioner/respondent] in this matter. Summarize the document set below for a family-law matter and surface contradictions. Produce: (1) an issue-tagged summary, where each point cites the document and date/page it comes from; (2) a contradiction list: statements that conflict across documents or dates, each with both sources quoted; and (3) the open questions these documents raise. Do not assert anything without a citation back to the record, and label inferences as inferences. Documents: [PASTE OR DESCRIBE]. For attorney review only; summaries are leads, not evidence.
Case Chronology / TimelineReportAdvancedFamily Law
I act for the [petitioner/respondent] in this matter. Build a case chronology for a family-law matter from the materials below. Produce a dated table: date, event, source (document name + page/date), and significance to the issues. Sort chronologically, mark any date that is approximate or disputed, and add a short note of the two or three patterns the timeline reveals (e.g., who had the children on key dates, when funds moved). Cite a source for every entry; if an event has no document support, list it separately as 'asserted, unverified.' Materials: [PASTE OR DESCRIBE]. For attorney review only.
Deposition Transcript Timeline and Contradiction FinderMemoExpertDisputes / Litigation
Act as case-prep counsel for [OUR SIDE]. Review the deposition transcript(s) below and produce: (1) a chronological timeline of the events the witness describes, citing each entry to a page:line reference; (2) a contradiction list of any statement that conflicts with something else the same witness said, or with another transcript if more than one is provided, quoting both sides with their page:line references; (3) the points where the witness hedged, said 'I don't recall,' or gave a materially different answer on a second attempt. Do not label anything a contradiction unless you can quote both sides, and do not summarize what a witness said without the page:line it came from. Transcript(s): [PASTE]. For attorney case-prep use only; this is a lead-generation pass, not a certified transcript summary. For every instance where the witness hedged or gave a materially different answer on a second attempt, quote the exact language relied on with its page:line reference rather than characterizing the change without the underlying text.
Hearing Transcript Digest by IssueMemoAdvancedArbitration
Act as counsel for [OUR SIDE]. Digest the hearing transcript below by issue rather than by witness. For each issue in [list the issues in dispute], pull the testimony that supports our position, the testimony that supports the other side, and any admission against interest, each cited to a page:line reference. Do not characterize any testimony you cannot point to a specific page:line for. Flag any issue where the transcript is thin or silent, so we know where the post-hearing brief needs to lean on documentary evidence instead. Transcript: [PASTE]. Issues: [LIST].
