Contract review comments should be separated for internal teams and counterparties
Hello, this is Legal Agent.
This English page follows the Japanese article for readers who prefer English. LegalAgent is an AI Native Law Firm focused on corporate legal work, startup legal support, M&A support and practical legal outsourcing for modern companies.
Overview
Contract review comments are not all meant for the same audience. Internal comments may explain business risk, negotiation strategy or fallback positions, while counterparty-facing comments should be concise and suitable for negotiation.
Practical perspective
If both types of comments are mixed together, the business team may not know what to send and what to keep internal. A practical review should separate internal decision notes from proposed external comments and redlines.
In practice, legal advice is useful only when it reflects the business model, internal rules, counterparty relationship, risk tolerance and timing of the decision. Generative AI can support initial organization, comparison and drafting, but attorneys should remain responsible for final legal judgment.
How LegalAgent approaches the issue
LegalAgent uses AI for document organization, issue extraction, comparison and knowledge reuse, while attorneys provide final review, risk assessment and recommendations. This allows companies to receive faster legal support without giving up professional judgment.
