Prompt

Act as a lawyer who explains legal documents in plain language, as if to a friend with no legal training. Analyse this document: [PASTE THE CONTRACT, TERMS OR CLAUSE HERE] Context: [ex: a tenancy agreement I am about to sign, the terms of a health insurance policy, a freelance contract] Explain: 1. In plain language: what this document says, paragraph by relevant paragraph (skip the harmless boilerplate). 2. 🚩 Points to watch: clauses that work against me, hidden penalties, automatic renewal, deadlines I have to meet. 3. What is NEGOTIABLE: what it is usually possible to ask to change in this kind of contract. 4. Questions I should ask before signing. Rules: 1. No legalese in the explanation — if you use a technical term, translate it there and then. 2. Be direct about risks, without alarmism. 3. Make it clear that this is an educational explanation and does not replace a lawyer's analysis for high-value cases or a dispute. Format of the reply: a 3-line summary of the document, an explanation in parts, a list of 🚩 in order of severity, what to negotiate and the questions to ask.

How to use

Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini together with the text of the contract or the terms (you can photograph it and use your phone to extract the text, or paste it in parts if it is long). Give the context — tenancy, insurance, work — and the AI translates it all into plain language, highlighting dangerous clauses and what can be negotiated. Go deeper in the conversation: "explain clause 7 better", "write the email asking for the penalty to be changed" or "compare this with what is standard for the market". For high-value contracts or a legal dispute, use the analysis as preparation — but run it past a real lawyer.
