Legal role
AI Legal Document Review
An AI legal assistant that reads your contracts clause by clause, flags the risky and the missing terms, and hands you a summary to take to your lawyer.
Give it a contract, a lease or a new version of an agreement you already signed, and it does the first read a careful paralegal would: who the parties are, every term that costs money or ends the deal, which clauses are unusual for this kind of document and why, which protections are missing altogether, and every change between two versions. The output is framed as questions for a lawyer, not legal advice, so you walk into that conversation prepared and pay for less of it.
Things you could ask for
Written the way you would actually say them. The agent plans the steps itself.
- “Here is the services agreement a new client sent us. Summarise it on one page: parties, payment terms, term and renewal, termination, liability, IP ownership and governing law. Then list every clause that favours them more than is usual, with the reason.”
- “Compare version 2 of this supplier contract with the version we signed last year and list every change, including wording changes in definitions, with what each one could mean for us.”
- “Read this NDA before I sign it. Is it mutual? How long does it last, what counts as confidential, and is anything missing that a standard NDA would include?”
- “We are about to sign a three-year office lease. Flag the rent increases, the break clause, who pays for repairs and anything else I should ask the landlord’s agent about.”
- “Every time a contract lands in the Contracts folder in Google Drive, write a one-page summary with the renewal date and notice period, and add the date to a tracking sheet.”
What you get back
A one-page summary of every material term; a clause-by-clause risk list rated high, medium or low with the reason and a suggested question for your lawyer; a list of missing protections; a full change list between versions; and a contract tracker with renewal and notice dates, in Google Docs, Sheets or Notion.
Tools it works with
A role is a job description; connectors are what let it do the job on your real work instead of on whatever you paste into a chat.
Where it is the wrong tool
- It is not a lawyer and does not give legal advice. Everything it produces is a prepared first read for a qualified lawyer to confirm, and it says so on every review.
- Enforceability depends on the jurisdiction. It flags clauses whose effect varies by country or state, but it cannot tell you how a court where you are would read them.
- It does not sign, send or negotiate on your behalf. It can draft the questions or a reply to the other side for you to send.
- Contracts are confidential. Connect only the folders it needs, and remember that what you give it is processed by the AI model you choose for the agent.
Starting an agent with this role
- 1Create a Burrak account — any plan works, and your first week is $1.
- 2In the Marketplace, open the Roles tab, find Legal Document Review and choose “Start an agent as Legal Document Review”. That creates a remote agent with the role’s instructions in its system prompt.
- 3Connect the tools it needs — Google Drive, Google Docs, Gmail, Outlook, Google Sheets, Notion — from Connectors.
- 4Give it a brief. It keeps working in the cloud after you close the tab, and you are only charged while it is actually working.
The Legal Document Review role, in practice
- Can I rely on it instead of a lawyer?
- No, and it will not pretend otherwise. For a low-value, standard agreement it can tell you what you are signing and what to ask. For anything with real money, liability or employment at stake, use it to prepare, and have a lawyer make the call. Most people find the lawyer’s review is shorter and cheaper when the summary and questions arrive first.
- Will it catch what is missing, not just what is there?
- Yes, that is one of its rules. If a contract has no limitation of liability, no indemnity or no way to end it, the review lists the absence explicitly, because silence in a contract is not neutral.
- What file types can it read?
- Word documents, PDFs, Google Docs and text pasted into chat. A scanned PDF that is only an image of the pages reads less reliably than a document with real text, so use the original file where you can.
