❌ Common AI mistakes you won’t notice immediately:

• Formal flaws – missing signature blocks, unclear party identification

• Lack of deadlines or penalties – making enforcement difficult

• Outdated or overly generic clauses – ignoring current legal developments

• Unclear definition of deliverables – no clarity on what’s to be done

• Copy-paste content without context – AI generates, but doesn’t understand business reality

⚠️ Why you won’t see the problems right away:

• The language looks legal and professional

• You don’t know what legal elements are missing

• AI won’t tell you what’s not in the contract

• A layperson can’t spot missing key clauses

📚 Real-life example:

A business owner used AI to draft a software development agreement. While the contract looked detailed, it completely skipped over intellectual property rights. When the developer left, the business had no rights to the source code – and couldn’t continue using the software.

✅ Lawyer’s recommendation:

AI isn’t a lawyer. The question isn’t what it can write – but what it doesn’t know to include.
Every important contract deserves a review.
It’s better to catch errors early than deal with legal consequences later.
