What's "Legal Review"?
Contract analysis from legal perspective: (1) Terms compliance with employment law. (2) Enforceability of clauses. (3) Risks to employee. (4) Negotiation leverage. (5) Recommendations.
How AI Provides Legal Review
AI trained on: (1) Thousands of contracts. (2) Employment law (state variations). (3) Case law on enforceability. (4) Red flag patterns. Result: Legal-quality analysis.
When to Use This Instead of Lawyer
USE THIS: Standard job offer, no major concerns. HIRE LAWYER: Complex equity, startup, non-compete dispute, major risk. BOTH: Use us first ($19), lawyer if needed ($300).
Key Takeaways
1. AI analysis saves you time and reveals risks you might miss manually 2. Get a risk score (0-100) to understand severity at a glance 3. Receive specific negotiation tactics for YOUR contract—not generic advice 4. Cost is minimal compared to lawyer fees and the value of informed negotiation
Common Mistakes to Avoid
• Reviewing manually without tools: Employment contracts have 30+ clauses—easy to miss risks. AI analysis catches subtle problems (like hidden clawbacks) that you'd overlook. • Trusting the company's summary: Companies provide offer letters, not full contract analysis. They highlight good things, not red flags. You need independent review. • Assuming your HR person will help: HR's job is to protect the company, not you. They won't tell you if the non-compete is unusually restrictive or if severance terms are below-market. • Not comparing to market terms: You don't know what's normal. Is a 2-year non-compete standard for your industry? Is a 30-day severance clause competitive? You need benchmarks. • Waiting too long to get help: The moment you get the offer is when you have maximum leverage. Once you sign, you've surrendered it. Act quickly.

Real-World Example: The Clawback Nobody Saw
Jamie got a $50,000 signing bonus. The contract said: "Clawback: if employee leaves within 24 months, signing bonus must be repaid prorated." Jamie thought it was standard and didn't think deeply about it. 18 months later, Jamie decided to leave for a better opportunity. But the company invoiced him for $25,000 (half the signing bonus). Jamie didn't have $25,000 and couldn't leave. He was trapped for 6 more months. If Jamie had used AI analysis to catch the clawback BEFORE signing, he could have negotiated: (1) Remove the clawback entirely, (2) Limit it to 12 months, (3) Or accept it knowing the risk. Instead, he was stuck. Take-away: signing bonuses often come with clawbacks. Analyze them closely.
