sboghossian Blog Preview Renderer
Blog content is the primary organic growth lever for a legal AI product: it builds domain authority, educates potential users, demonstrates product capability, and generates the linkable assets that power PR campaigns. A blog post is also a trust signal to the professional audience — lawyers expect precision, citations, and a point of view. This skill produces a preview-ready blog post package.
Purpose
Produce a complete, publication-ready blog post that:
- Is accurate enough to pass review by a qualified lawyer
- Is readable enough to engage a non-lawyer business audience
- Includes all metadata needed for web publication (headline, meta, slug, tags)
- Can be repurposed as social content (LinkedIn, Twitter/X)
Inputs
| Input | Why it matters | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Topic / angle | The specific argument or insight the post makes | See topic bank below |
| Target audience | Lawyer vs in-house counsel vs GC vs startup founder | MENA in-house / GC |
| Target publication | Own blog vs third-party placement affects tone and depth | Own product blog |
| Target jurisdiction | Determines which legal rules are cited | UAE / MENA |
| Desired word count | Different for thought leadership vs how-to vs news commentary | 800–1200 words |
| SEO target keyword | For own blog; for placement pieces focus on publication fit | Varies by topic |
Output package
For each blog post, produce:
1. Headline options (3)
| Type | Example |
|---|---|
| How-to | "How to Negotiate a Non-Compete Clause Under UAE Law" |
| Data / insight | "Why 80% of UAE Non-Compete Clauses Are Unenforceable" |
| Opinion / take | "MENA Lawyers Are Still Drafting for Yesterday's Workforce Law" |
2. Meta description (160 characters max)
"UAE non-compete clauses must meet four legal tests to be enforceable. Most don't. Here's what in-house counsel should be doing differently in 2026."
3. Article body structure
# [Headline]
## The problem / hook (1–2 paragraphs)
Open with a concrete scenario or surprising fact. No "in the rapidly evolving landscape" openers.
## The rule / insight (2–3 paragraphs)
State the law or principle clearly. Cite correctly (light citation for blog: "Article 10 of UAE Federal Decree-Law 33/2021").
No fabricated citations.
## The implication / application (2–3 paragraphs)
What does this mean for practitioners? What should they do differently?
Concrete, actionable.
## The MENA angle (1–2 paragraphs)
If the topic spans jurisdictions, flag the material differences briefly.
This is the differentiating content for a MENA-focused product.
## Call to action
One concrete next step for the reader. Tie to product capability if relevant.

4. Social copy
LinkedIn (300 characters):
"Most UAE non-compete clauses are drafted to fail. Under FDL 33/2021, they must be proportionate in scope, geography, and duration. A "no competitors, MENA region, 2 years" clause will get reduced by a court. Here's the redraft checklist. [link]"
Twitter/X (280 characters):
"UAE non-competes: 4 tests, most fail. Scope ✓ Geography ✗ Duration borderline ✓ Legitimate interest ✗. FDL 33/2021 gives courts power to narrow, not void. Practical fix below. 🧵"

Quality bar
- Every legal statement must be accurate and cited at a level appropriate for a professional audience.
- "Arguably" and similar weasel words are acceptable in opinion pieces but not in how-to posts.
- Do not fabricate statistics. If you don't have data, describe the phenomenon without inventing numbers.
- Apply the legal AI disclaimer at the bottom of every post.
What to avoid
- SEO-stuffed intros ("In today's fast-paced legal landscape…")
- Vague conclusions ("Legal teams should consider AI tools")
- Overly promotional copy that obscures the informational value
- Any advice that crosses into a client-lawyer relationship (the disclaimer is mandatory, not optional)
