Analysis
Contractual Pitfalls for an Austin D2C Cosmetics Startup
Overview
What this challenge is about.
You are a junior legal consultant hired by GlowAustin. Your task is to analyze the current informal agreement (provided as email threads), identify gaps in offer, acceptance, consideration, and terms (especially force majeure and termination). Then draft a simple supplier contract template with key clauses. Success means the startup can use your template for all future suppliers, reducing risk of similar disputes. Deliver a memo explaining legal risks and the draft contract.
