These are clauses that have led to disputes, adjudications, litigation - or that experts know to be legally hazardous. By submitting examples, tagging risks, and explaining the pitfalls, contributors help us build a searchable knowledge base and a future AI-powered clause-checker.

Our aim is simple:

Fewer disputes through better drafting - informed by the mistakes of the past.
