Representation and warranty clauses state what each party is claiming to be true about themselves, their assets, or their legal standing—and you're legally responsible if those claims turn out to be false. Careful review of these clauses protects you by making clear what you're relying on, what you're not relying on, and what happens if someone lied.
Representations and warranties are factual statements and promises made by parties in a contract that form the basis of the agreement, and breaching them can trigger significant legal liability. These clauses are especially common in business acquisitions, real estate transactions, and service agreements where accuracy of disclosed information is critical.
AI can cross-check representation and warranty language for internal inconsistencies, identify overly broad or unqualified statements that expose you to risk, and recommend standard carve-outs that experienced attorneys typically negotiate into these provisions.
