It’s a Monday morning, you’re sitting at your desk, and the first contract of the week lands in your inbox. The business team is eager to move forward, but as in-house counsel, you know your job is more than just a rubber stamp. Each contract is a minefield of potential risks and opportunities, and you are the shield that protects your company from unintended consequences. You begin to review the draft agreement that, on its face, seems straightforward—but you know better. The devil is in the details.
As you carefully review the contract, you ask, does it accurately reflect the contemplated relationship between the parties? Does the contract provide optimal protection for your company and its information? Does it address the use of novel technology like generative AI? Does it appropriately plan for dispute resolution? These are just a few questions that may be overlooked but should be scrutinized.
