Redline a Clause With Fallback Positions
Prompt
Clause as drafted by the other side (verbatim): {{CLAUSE_TEXT}}
We act for: {{OUR_SIDE}}
What we need this clause to achieve: {{OUR_GOAL}}
Governing law: {{JURISDICTION}}
Produce:
1. Issues: what's wrong with the clause for my client, in no more than five bullets.
2. Opening markup: the full revised clause, with deletions shown as [DELETE: …] and insertions as [INSERT: …], so I can transfer them to a redline.
3. Explanatory comment for the other side: two to four sentences, professional and non-combative, explaining the change in commercial terms.
4. Fallback 1 and Fallback 2: progressively closer to their draft, each as full clause wording with a note of what we give up.
5. Drafting checks: defined terms used, cross-references, and anything that depends on law in the governing jurisdiction, tagged [CHECK LAW].
Keep the drafting style consistent with the original clause (numbering, defined-term capitals, "shall" or "must"). Don't introduce new defined terms without listing them.
