  • {{focus_area}}: The specific legal area to focus on (e.g., workplace harassment policies, equal employment opportunity, wage and hour laws, employee rights during layoffs).
  • {{company_details}}: Brief context about the company (e.g., size, industry, location) to tailor the review.

Instructions
