AI Legal Risk Analyzer
Upload a contract or paste text and get AI-highlighted risky clauses, missing clauses, and jurisdiction issues. For informational purposes only—not legal advice.
0 characters
A legal risk analyzer helps you spot potential issues in contracts before you sign or negotiate. Our free AI tool uploads a contract (or pasted text) and highlights three types of concerns: risky clauses (language that may expose you to liability or one-sided terms), missing clauses (common protections that might be absent, such as limitation of liability or termination rights), and jurisdiction issues (governing law, venue, dispute resolution, or cross-border considerations). The output is for informational use only—it is not legal advice. Always have a qualified attorney review important contracts. The first few pages (or character limit) are free without signup. For full-document analysis and API access, create a free account. To rewrite dense clauses in plain language, use our Contract Clause Rewriter; to redact sensitive text before sharing, try our PDF Redaction Tool.

Informational Only—Not Legal Advice
The legal risk analyzer is a screening tool that highlights common risk indicators and typical missing protections. It does not replace advice from a qualified attorney. Laws vary by jurisdiction, and the relevance of a clause depends on context, party bargaining power, and your risk tolerance. Always have important contracts reviewed by a lawyer licensed in the relevant jurisdiction. To rewrite complex clauses in plainer language (still not legal advice), use our Contract Clause Rewriter. To redact sensitive text before sharing a contract, use our PDF Redaction Tool.
