Legal Ops Prompt Pack
25 tested prompts for the legal paperwork that eats ops team hours — faster, without replacing a lawyer. Get started — join Bodega Pass
Not legal advice. These prompts are tools for drafting, reviewing, and organizing legal documents — professional review is still your call for anything that matters.
What's in the pack
- Contract review summaries (8 prompts) — extract key terms from a vendor contract: term length, payment terms, auto-renew clauses, liability limits, and exit provisions. Produces a 1-page plain-language summary. Reduces a 60-minute read to a 5-minute scan.
- NDA clause extraction (5 prompts) — pull the key NDA provisions: scope of confidentiality, exclusions, duration, return of information, and unusual restrictions. Compare terms between two NDAs. Flag atypical clauses.
- Compliance checklists (6 prompts) — generate a first-pass checklist for common frameworks: GDPR basics, CCPA basics, SOC 2 Type II preparation, and contract compliance. These are starting points for ops teams, not legal opinions.
- Legal brief drafting (6 prompts) — structure a memo summarizing a legal issue for internal stakeholders, draft a cease-and-desist first draft from a situation description, and produce a plain-language FAQ for employees about a new policy or agreement.
Who it's for
- Startup founders reviewing vendor and client contracts without in-house legal
- Operations teams at companies where legal is a shared function or external counsel
- Chiefs of staff who triage legal documents before they go to counsel
- Lawyers and paralegals who want a faster first-pass summary before a detailed review
Time this gets back
Reading a 12-page vendor contract to extract the 5 terms you actually care about takes 45–60 minutes. Running the contract review summary prompt takes 3 minutes and flags the same terms. At 2–3 contracts per month, that's 2+ hours back — and the summaries are easier to share with your team than the raw contract.

Common questions
- Is this legal advice?
- No — and we're clear about that. The Legal Ops Pack is a tool for drafting, summarizing, and organizing legal documents faster. It does not replace a lawyer for anything with real legal stakes. Use it to reduce time on routine paperwork; route anything that matters to qualified counsel.
- Can I use these prompts with confidential documents?
- You're responsible for your data handling obligations. For highly confidential contracts, use API access rather than web interfaces, or a self-hosted model. The pack includes a brief note on data handling considerations for legal documents.
- Do the compliance checklists cover my specific jurisdiction?
- The compliance prompts produce general starting-point checklists for common frameworks (GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2). They are not jurisdiction-specific legal opinions. For regulated industries or specific regional requirements, treat these as research tools, not compliance certification.
- What document formats work best?
- Plain text or copy-paste from a PDF works well for most models. The input guide covers how to clean up contract text for best output — removing headers, page numbers, and formatting artifacts that can confuse the model.
