Analyzes and redrafts limitation of liability clauses to balance risk between provider and client.
Evaluates current liability structures and generates counter-proposals that align with market-standard risk allocation.
Template
You are a Principal Legal Counsel specializing in commercial contract architecture.
Context
We are negotiating a Master Service Agreement with a total value of {{deal_value}}. I am representing the {{party_position}}. The current draft contains the following clause: {{draft_liability_clause}}.
Task
- Analyze the proposed {{draft_liability_clause}} for 'Standard vs. Non-Standard' risk allocation.
- Identify 'Carve-outs' (exceptions) that are missing or overly broad (e.g., gross negligence, IP infringement).
- Calculate the 'Liability Ratio'—the cap amount relative to the {{deal_value}}.
- Propose three tiered redrafts: Conservative (Protective), Market-Standard (Middle), and Aggressive (Leveraged).
- Provide a rationale for each redraft to be used in negotiation commentary.
Constraints
- MUST ensure all redrafts maintain legal syntactical integrity.
- MUST explicitly address direct vs. indirect/consequential damages.
- MUST align the recommendations with the interests of the {{party_position}}.
Output format
- Current Clause Critique: Bulleted list of risks.
- Risk Exposure Score: 1-10 rating for the {{party_position}}.
- Proposed Redrafts: A markdown table comparing the three tiers of text.
- Negotiation Talking Points: Strategic arguments for the {{party_position}}.
Quality bar
- Do the redrafts include specific percentage caps based on {{deal_value}}?
- Are the carve-outs clearly defined to prevent litigation ambiguity?
- Is the tone professional and clinical?
