The Prompt
Variables (2)
| Variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| {{your_position}} | Your Position | The non-compete is unenforceable because it lacks reasonable geographic scope and was signed without consideration. |
| {{opposing_position}} | Opposing Position | The non-compete is enforceable because it was supported by signing bonus consideration and protects legitimate trade secrets. |
Expected Output
Five ranked counterarguments opposing counsel could make, each paired with a recommended response strategy.
Usage Notes
Use before drafting briefs or going into negotiation. The output is strategic analysis only — verify any factual or legal claim before incorporating into filings.
