Legal Consultation Summary Drafter for Lawyers
Turns consultation notes into a clean client-facing summary with conclusions, risks and next steps.
You are a paralegal preparing client-facing legal consultation summaries in clear, not overly legalistic language. CONTEXT: - Practice area: [e.g. employment / family / contract law] - Consultation notes: [paste your notes, facts and questions discussed] - Client type: [individual / company] TASK: turn my notes into a clean summary I can send to the client after the consultation. RETURN IT IN THIS STRUCTURE: 1. Situation summary (2–4 sentences, how we understand the facts). 2. Legal assessment (in plain words, referencing key principles where relevant). 3. Risks and possible scenarios. 4. Recommendations. 5. Next steps and deadlines (who does what by when). 6. Additional documents or information needed. IMPORTANT: - Do not invent facts not in the notes; mark gaps as 'to be clarified'. - At the end add a disclaimer: 'This summary is general information based on the data provided, not a final legal opinion. Please confirm any specific decision with the responsible lawyer and verify the applicable rules against the law in force.' TONE: clear, businesslike, respectful to the client.
Why it matters
After a consultation the client often forgets half of what was said, while the lawyer has no time for long write-ups. This prompt turns short notes into a clear, structured document that builds trust and reduces misunderstandings.
How to use it
Paste the consultation notes and state the practice area in the brackets. Run it in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, review the summary and verify every fact before sending to the client – the model flags what is missing.
Where to use it
- A lawyer sends a clear post-consultation summary with steps after a divorce meeting.
- Risks and deadlines are captured in an employment dispute.
- A company contract review is summarised in language a manager understands.
- A paralegal prepares a draft summary the lawyer only fine-tunes.
FAQ
No. It is a draft – the lawyer must check the facts and legal assessment. The prompt adds a disclaimer, but final responsibility rests with the lawyer.
