## Prompt

```text
Write a client alert for my law firm about a legal development.

**Development:** [NEW STATUTE, REGULATION, RULING, OR AGENCY GUIDANCE - with citation]
**Source text or summary:** [PASTE THE KEY PASSAGES OR OUR INTERNAL MEMO]
**Effective date and key deadlines:** [DATES]
**Who it affects:** [e.g. "employers with 15+ employees in Illinois"]
**Our practice group and authors:** [NAMES]
**Distribution:** [email list / website / LinkedIn]

Structure (600-900 words):
1. A headline that names the change and the affected group.
2. "Key takeaways": three to five bullets a busy general counsel can read in 30 seconds.
3. What changed, explained in plain language, with only citations I have provided.
4. Who is affected and who is not; note open questions and areas still unsettled.
5. What to do now: a short, practical action list with dates in bold.
6. How we can help, in one or two sentences, and author contact details.
7. Disclaimer: this alert is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship; plus an "Attorney Advertising" label if my state requires it [CONFIRM].

Also write: an email subject line and preview text, and a LinkedIn post of under 150 words linking to the alert.

Rules: never invent case names, citations, section numbers, dates, or penalties; if something is not in my source, mark it [CONFIRM]. Avoid alarmist language. A responsible attorney must review for accuracy before publication.
