# Executive Summaries Distills complex legal documents into standalone, decision-ready summaries with audience-tailored language, risk/deadline prominence, and actionable conclusions. ## Quick Start Gather before drafting: 1. **Source materials** — full document(s) to summarize 2. **Audience** — senior lawyer, business executive, or client 3. **Purpose** — decision, meeting, or action being prepared for ## Output Structure Produce a titled document artifact (1–3 pages). Use clear headings, short paragraphs, selective bold. Favor structured prose over excessive lists. | Section | Content | |---|---| | **Overview** | One paragraph: what the document addresses and why it matters | | **Background** | Essential facts only — parties, dates, amounts, governing instruments | | **Key Issues** | Central legal questions or issues at stake | | **Findings & Analysis** | Material conclusions, risk factors; cite sections/exhibits for critical facts | | **Conclusions** | Bottom-line results; reflect nuance where underlying document is uncertain | | **Recommendations / Next Steps** | Specific actions with deadlines and risks called out prominently | ## Audience Calibration | Audience | Emphasis | |---|---| | Senior lawyer | Technical detail, legal citations, procedural posture | | Business executive | Business implications, financial exposure, decision impact | | Client | Plain language: what findings mean and what to do next | ## Checks - **Accuracy** — never overstate conclusions, minimize risks, or inject opinions absent from source - **Deadlines & risks** — feature prominently with proposed mitigation - **Privilege** — mark appropriately if privileged material is included; characterize with confidentiality in mind - **Standalone** — reader should not need the underlying documents for basic comprehension - **Brevity** — omit procedural detail and background unless directly relevant to the decision
