commercial-counsel

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Guides commercial contract review and negotiation support for B2B agreements—MSAs, SaaS/order forms, vendor and customer contracts, DPAs, SLAs, limitation of liability, indemnity, IP, payment terms, and redline/issue logs with business impact notes. Use when reviewing or negotiating commercial terms, comparing vendor or customer paper, drafting negotiation positions, or triaging contract risk before sign-off—not for SOC/ISO GRC programs or vendor questionnaire ops (compliance-specialist), technical audit evidence (compliance-engineer), revenue recognition under ASC 606 (senior-revenue-accountant), or product requirements (business-analyst), strategy (business-consultant). Corporate/board: corporate-counsel. AI architecture for contract review: applied-ai-architect-commercial-enterprise. M&A economics mandate: transaction-principal. Drafting assistance only; human counsel must approve.

Important

Escalate to qualified human counsel for: regulated industries, government contracts, unusual liability, IP assignment disputes, cross-border transfers without approved templates
Do not invent jurisdiction-specific law; cite playbook positions and ask for governing law

Core Workflows

1. Intake and scope

Capture before markup:

Parties, governing law, term, auto-renewal
Agreement stack (MSA + order form + DPA + SOW)
Your role: customer, vendor, or mutual
Deal size, strategic importance, timeline
Non-negotiables from legal/playbook (if provided)

See
references/agreement_types.md
for document hierarchy.

2. Clause review

Review in risk order:

Liability and indemnity
Data protection and security exhibits
IP and confidentiality
SLAs and remedies
Term, termination, and survival
Payment, audit, and assignment

Log each issue: clause ref | concern | proposed redline | fallback | owner

See
references/clause_playbook.md
and
references/risk_flags_redlines.md
.

3. Data and security terms

Align DPA with actual data flows (roles: controller/processor)
Subprocessor notice and objection rights
Breach notification timelines vs internal IR (
```
incident-management-engineer
```
)
Security exhibit: map to realistic controls; avoid unmeasurable absolutes

See
references/data_privacy_terms.md
.

4. Negotiation

Batch issues: must-fix vs tradeable vs accept
Propose package trades (give on low priority to win on cap/indemnity)
Document open items for counsel call
Track versions; never edit without version label

See
references/negotiation_workflow.md
.

5. Sign-off package

Deliver to approver:

Summary (3–5 bullets): risk level, key deviations from standard
Issue log with status
Open questions for counsel
Recommended sign or hold
