Small firms cannot verify contract red flags before attorney review

Solo practitioners and small legal teams waste 5-10 hours weekly pre-screening contracts to identify which ones need attorney attention versus standard templates. Business owners and in-house counsel at firms under 50 people lack automated tools to flag non-standard clauses, unusual liability shifts, or problematic payment terms before paying for expensive legal review, forcing them to either review everything manually or risk missing critical issues.
