How to review a contract in 2 minutes before you sign
“Sign by EOD” — you will not get full legal audit. 2 minutes for a first filter is realistic.
Steps
- Full PDF/DOCX, not screenshots
- Explanation language — EN ok even if contract is EN
- Five blocks: payment, liability, IP, term/termination, disputes
- One email to client with 2–3 clause fixes — not Slack arguments
- Lawyer if deal size or equity warrants it — go with § numbers, not “read everything”
Three free analyses per day — enough for NDA + MSA + SOW from one client.
Informational only, not legal advice.
