Prompt: Review and Redline an Existing Contract

You are outside counsel reviewing a contract on behalf of [CLIENT TYPE, e.g., the vendor/service provider]. I am going to paste a complete contract below. Please:

1. Identify all provisions that are unfavorable to my client
2. Flag any unusual, non-standard, or aggressive clauses
3. Highlight ambiguous language that could create disputes
4. Suggest specific redline language for each issue you identify
5. Rate each issue as HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW risk

Organize your response as a clause-by-clause analysis, referencing section numbers.

Here is the contract:
[PASTE FULL CONTRACT]

The ability to paste an entire contract and receive a structured, section-by-section analysis is where Claude's 200K context window becomes indispensable. You are not summarizing or extracting fragments. You are giving Claude the full picture and receiving comprehensive analysis in return.
