Contract errors, unclear terms, and regulatory gaps are becoming major financial threats for companies in 2026. Even a small oversight in a contract can create litigation, project delays, revenue leakage, or unexpected financial loss.

| IP & Confidentiality | Protective clauses, enforceability | Data theft, IP leakage |
