Description

• AI is transforming the way contracts are drafted, reviewed, and negotiated—but getting valuable results requires more than asking AI to “write a contract.”
• In this course, you’ll learn how to prompt AI like an attorney (using a Master Supply Agreement as an example) by applying legal reasoning, structured instructions, and practical contract-drafting techniques. You’ll discover how experienced legal professionals approach AI tools to improve efficiency while maintaining judgment, accuracy, and control.
• You’ll learn how to provide context, define objectives, identify risks, refine AI-generated drafts, and create prompts that produce more useful contract language (And yes, we'll provide the prompt sheet we build over the course in the bonus materials). Whether you are an attorney, business owner, entrepreneur, contract professional, or simply someone who works with agreements, these skills will help you use AI more effectively.
• AI is a powerful assistant—but the quality of the outcome depends on the quality of the guidance you provide. By the end of this course, you’ll have a framework for using AI as a smarter contract drafting partner and a better understanding of how legal professionals can leverage AI in the modern workplace.
• We also understand, this isn't necessarily easy. And you may hear legal concepts that are unfamiliar, or you don't have time to learn. If you need assistance (whether it's a single section or the entire contract) CounselLab is here to help.

Who this course is for

• This course is for founders, startup teams, and small business owners who want to use AI to draft better contracts tailored to their business.
