## What stays with you

-   Redlines follow your playbook, and your lawyer decides what is accepted.
-   Legal advice and final judgement on risk stay with qualified counsel.

## Frequently Asked Questions About the Legal & Compliance Squad

### Can AI review contracts?

AI can do a first pass, but not the final call. In the Legal & Compliance Squad, Clause marks risky, unusual or missing clauses against your playbook and suggests redlines. The agents are not lawyers, so every output is a draft for a lawyer to confirm.

### Can AI review NDAs?

It can triage them quickly. Clause reads an incoming NDA, flags what stands out against your playbook and queues it in Review. A lawyer confirms the result before you sign or reply.

### Which AI agents are in the Legal & Compliance Squad?

Three: Clause, the Contract Reviewer who does the first pass and marks risks; Compare, the Clause Analyst who compares terms across versions and against your playbook; and Comply, the Policy Checker who builds and runs checklists against your policies.

### Can AI compare two versions of a contract?

Yes. Compare lists every change between two versions of an agreement and its effect, and can summarise key terms across a folder of contracts in a table. It also writes plain-language summaries for the business team, for a lawyer to confirm.

### Is AI legal advice?

No. The squad's agents are not lawyers and do not give legal advice. They produce drafts, redlines and checklists, and a lawyer confirms each one in Review before anyone relies on it.

### Can AI check my company against its own policies?

Yes. Comply turns your policies into checklists and applies them the same way every time, tracks obligations and due dates, and flags each gap with the requirement it misses. A person reviews the findings.
