Be Specific About Requirements

Vague: “Draft a contract”

Specific: “Draft a software service agreement with these specific terms: [list details]”

Provide Context

Good

“Draft a settlement demand letter in our employment case. Our client was wrongfully terminated and suffered $250K in damages. Defendant is a small manufacturing company.”

Ask for Multiple Versions

Request aggressive version, then collaborative version, then see which works best for your situation

Use Ask Sque as Starting Point

Ask Sque drafts provide structure and language. You refine them with:

  • Your firm's preferred language and style

Verify Legal Accuracy

Always review:

  • Case citations for accuracy

5.Drafting Limitations

  • No access to firm templates: Ask Sque doesn't know your firm's standard language or preferences
  • No access to prior similar work: Ask Sque can't reference your previous versions of similar documents
  • Generic approach: Ask Sque provides standard language that you must customize
  • No judgment calls: Ask Sque can't make strategic decisions about when to be aggressive vs. collaborative
