You have read this MSA before.
A hundred times.

The Contract Room is a half day that changes how you read the hundred-and-first: a counterparty draft arrives by email, and by the interval you have reviewed it, settled your positions, and returned a properly formatted redline — with an AI working under your instruction, and every conclusion cited to the text it came from.

One matter runs through the whole morning. You take it from first read to standing playbook, at your own laptop, in your own hands.

The shape of the morning

  1. I

    Review of the counterparty draft

    The matter is instructed by email, as it would be in practice. A review is conducted; an issues list is produced; every issue is interrogated against the text that gives rise to it.

  2. II

    Preparing the redline

    Positions are settled and a markup is generated, refined and returned as a properly formatted instrument — one the other side’s Word will open without complaint.

  3. III

    Building the playbook

    The morning’s positions are reduced to a standing playbook and applied to a second draft — and the first hour’s work compresses into minutes.

  4. IV

    Further capabilities

    Multi-document analysis, version comparison, formatting repair and word-processing exercises, demonstrated at pace with delegates following at their own machines.

The full programme, including the closing session on professional safeguards, is set out here.

The terms of the seat

The seat fee is ₹12,500 plus GST. It converts, in full, to Leela Works credit for your team.

If you adopt the tool, the workshop will have cost you nothing. If you do not, you will still leave having negotiated a matter end-to-end with it — which is its own due diligence.

Questions of substance

Who should attend?
In-house counsel and general counsel who negotiate commercial contracts as part of their ordinary practice. The programme assumes professional fluency with contracts; it assumes nothing about familiarity with AI.
What should I bring?
A laptop with a current installation of Microsoft Word, and one morning of undivided attention. Everything else — the working account, the sample matter, the printed workbook — is at your seat.
Is this a product demonstration?
No. It is a working session: you conduct the review, settle the positions, and return the redline yourself. Leela Works is the instrument on which the programme is taught, and your seat fee converts to credit against it, but the morning is yours, not a salesman’s.
How does the credit arrangement work?
The seat fee converts, in full, to Leela Works credit for your team, redeemable against a subscription. If you adopt the tool, the workshop will have cost you nothing.
Will I receive a GST invoice?
Yes. A tax invoice is issued to your organisation against the particulars (including GSTIN) provided at registration.
What about confidentiality?
All exercises are conducted on synthetic instruments authored for the programme. No delegate is asked to bring, upload or discuss client papers, and the delegate list is not circulated — to sponsors or to anyone else.
