Contract Review Summary

Category: legal

Apps Involved: Word, Outlook

Complexity: Moderate (3-4 apps)

Description

Reads a contract draft, extracts key terms and risk flags, and sends a structured summary to a reviewer via Outlook.

The Prompt

Open [/CONTRACT_FILE].

Extract the following into a structured summary: parties, effective date, term length, payment terms, termination clauses, limitation of liability, indemnification obligations, and any non-standard or missing clauses.

Flag any clause that deviates from our standard template.

Save the summary as "Review – [CONTRACT_FILE]" to [/MATTER_FOLDER/], then email it to [REVIEWER_EMAIL] with the subject "Contract Review – [CONTRACT_FILE]".

Expected Outcome

A structured Word summary document saved to SharePoint and emailed to the reviewing attorney, with a risk flag section for non-standard clauses.

Tips & Variations

• Store your standard clause library as a file in SharePoint so Cowork can compare against it.
• Add [CLIENT_NAME] to the subject line for client-specific matters.
• Variation: route flagged contracts to a Teams channel instead of email.
